TSU sides with 'legislators-first' method in recall debateThe China Post news staff January 18, 2013, 12:23 am TWN    The major opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is reportedly split over how to go about recalling President Ma Ying-jeou and Kuomintang lawmakers. On May 20, 2012, President Ma Ying-jeou's second inauguration, the minor opposition TSU had been first to demand the president's recall in a party-sponsored street protest. Yesterday, the TSU endorsed a “lawmakers-first” strategy, over attempting to recall Ma directly. The first phase of the TSU's campaign will be to remove all legislators mindful of “only a horse's opinion, and not the public opinion,” said TSU Chairman Huang Kun-huei (黃昆輝), playing off the president's surname. The TSU is set to pay a courtesy call on DPP Chairman Su Tseng-chang, so the two parties may discuss a joint campaign for recalling legislators, said Huang at the TSU's Taipei headquarters on Thursday. Besides visiting Su, the TSU will meet with representatives of non-governmental organizations concerned with public policy, in order to compile a list of legislators to recall. After lawmakers are out, the TSU will work to remove the president, according to Huang. The DPP and TSU hold 43 seats in the 113-seat legislature, which is short of the two-thirds needed to pass a motion to recall the president. Recalling legislators is a lesser, but still formidable, challenge. To recall a lawmaker, at least 13 percent of the lawmaker's electorate must attach their names to a recall petition, which must then be approved by a simple majority of cast ballots. Earlier this week, former DPP Chairman Frank Hsiehtold media that there are two strategies for recalling KMT lawmakers: recalling some, or all. Attempting to oust all could result in a counterattack and a fresh legislative election, which Hsieh said “could be a good thing.” Hsieh added that not all in the party agreed with his views, and that ultimately he respects the chairman's decision on the party's strategy.

Don't forget that Republic of China is a Democratic country under the vision of our National Father Dr SUN YET SEN "Three Principles of the People".
The President and all the government officers were elected by the majority will of the people. NOT by YOU.
The DPP and the TSU can use any political gimmick and black propaganda for their own political gains similar to May 20 2012 and Dec 21, 2012 to deceit and lies to the public in their campaign for political power.
i.e. USED BY DPP-TSU.....May 20,2012 in their rally and demonstration.
-Lee Chuang (李妝), She said “My son had a dream a few days ago in which the "Goddess of Mercy" told him that Ma should step down to end people’s suffering, so he hand-made this outfit for me to wear in the parade.”
Remember DPP, TSU. "Goddess of Mercy" will never speak those words to anyone to create civil unrest, chaos and bloodshed.
ONLY Goddess of Democracy of Wang Dan piggy bank can speak to Wang Dan and you (DPP, TSU).
December 21, 2012. GREEN GUARD, Vincent Chou (周榆修), DPP Youth corp's spread false alarm black propaganda that the popular Mayan Prophecy says that the end of the world Dec. 21. is caused by Ma.
You (DPP, TSU) can use any dirty politics gimmick and black propaganda in your rally and demonstration, but don't repeat the 228 and 319 again. And don't use "Goddess of Mercy", because it is different from Wang Dan piggy bank "Goddess of Democracy" that can create civil unrest, chaos and bloodshed.
