He feels that you won’t get good people to run and be true to their beliefs for fear that they will be recalled. Ray gets on his soapbox regarding recalls.
Part 4: Shawn gives his opinion on the recall efforts and how un-democratic it is to go after someone for free speech. Shawn gives his vision about kids, which is the future of Maine. We need to give them the tools to make their way.
