2nd Luna Recall Drive To Launch

Comedian Ron "Pete" Peterson, who finished fourth with 5 percent of the vote in the 2010 GOP primary, says he's organizing another run at removing Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna from office. Peterson, of Boise, was a key player in the effort that fell more than 100,000 signatures short of putting a Luna recall on the Aug. 30 ballot. Now, Peterson says, he's aiming for the Nov. 6, 2012, general election. About 158,000 signatures are necessary to force an election. "No, this is not a joke," Peterson told the Statesman, "although I will be telling some jokes during this second recall attempt. One of the things that killed us was a lack of planning and organization." Peterson said he'll kick off the effort Thursday at 10 a.m. at the Hollywood Market in Boise's North End/Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Did you sign the 1st Luna recall petition? Would you sign a 2nd one, if given the chance?
