I totally agree. Many of these businesses don't keep printers up and running anymore, so I've been dropping off copies for them. Most of them are afraid that Newsom will cut their licenses to operate if they openly support the recall, which under the current regime, is a healthy concern to have.
You're right, in this image: https://recallgavin2020.com/wp-content/uploads/splash_thermo_70percent_v3_1500x800.jpg
They used to do press releases about milestones.
All I can find to back this, is the latest SF Gate article: https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/California-Democratic-official-backs-off-calling-15875581.php
And while it does say; "Organizers of the Newsom recall said they have collected more than 1.1 million petition signatures." I see no source.
While I want this to be true, I can't find any confirmation on https://recallgavin2020.com/ . Can you post a primary source of going from 1m to 1.1m, u/HistoryInvestigator?
"We" are stupid enough to be bought off with this, collectively "we" allowed him to weasel into office. The only way to stop it is to remind people every time they say anything about him, is that there is a recall petition, have a copy of the petition handy, keep a pen handy, collect the signature and mail it in via certified mail.
