A Santa Cruz United recall signature gatherer was handcuffed and detained by Santa Cruz Police at Whole Foods Market today for harassing and threatening customers and management, and for blocking the entrance to the market repeatedly. For weeks now, stories have been circulating online about canvassers who are harassing community members as they aggressively solicit signatures for the petitions to recall progressive City Councilmembers Drew Glover and Chris Krohn.

The manager said that for several weeks now, the canvasser regularly shouts at customers, calls them names, and is very aggressive with them. She said he called her the n-word today (it should be noted that she is white), and over the last few weeks he has called her every other name in the book, for simply asking him to honor the free speech zone at Whole Foods. The free speech zone at Whole Foods is defined as being anywhere in the parking area.

This is a breaking news story, expect a second article soon with video and more photos.

Looking forward to your follow-up story.

The toxic Santa Mierda facebook page has its own rather twisted sounding account of this incident and an attack on you. While I"m not interested in spreading the site's standard bigoted bias, I'd nonetheless invite you to comment if you wish.

§Contact CA Secretary of State on Voter Fraud

For everyone who has been a witness to voter fraud such as lying about about what the petition is really about, refusing to let people read the petition, lying by calling the two city council members anti-homeless, people using SC addresses to vote when their residences are not in Santa Cruz, assaulting the public etc.

Please contact the CA Secretary of State to report all voter fraud being done in recent recall petition signature drive. Fraud is illegal. The recall petition should be nullified for all the above reasons and others.

• 1.800.345 VOTE (8683)
• http://www.sos.ca.gov

Support the democratic process by demanding clean politics on the recall petition!
