LePage must GO. Period! Here is what you can do right now. (Spread the word.)

ANYONE else would be FIRED. LePage is mentally unfit to govern, and he must go and go NOW.

Here is a petition you can sign online: http://mefga.org/

(Also, there is a rally at Capitol Park in Augusta tomorrow at 6:30pm.)

The Governor's recent actions are simply inexcusable. Half-baked apologies and
lame excuses can no longer suffice.
Anyone else in any position would be removed from his/her job. In the very
latest outrage, LePage is saying he will hold one of his town meetings in
Westbrook on Wednesday, the very city in which Rep. Gattine, whom LePage
threatened and used such vile language with, lives and serves. The governor is
obviously completely mentally unfit to serve as governor.

Pressure is mounting around the Maine GOP to act and act very seriously. If
they agree to a call of a special session and merely censure LePage, they know
they will take a serious beating at the polls in November and in two years
because he will still be there and voters will take it out on their party.
Democratic leaders have told their Republican colleagues that they must pressure
LePage to resign and seek professional help for his psychological problems.
Remember, ANYONE else would be fired
for such outrageous behavior. Just imagine a School Superintendent, or a fire
chief, or a person working in the private sector acting like that? They'd be
gone in a New York minute.

As Democrats our position must be firm and decisive. We must follow through on
what our leadership has stated: that Lepage is simply unfit to serve as
Governor. If he won't leave voluntarily, he must be forced out. Enough is
enough. Remember, again, Republicans are in a SERIOUS bind. If LePage remains
in office, they will suffer tremendously at the polls in November and in two
years as well, and they know it. Democratic leadership is giving them some time
to act, but they won't wait indefinitely.

Also, it is important to contact your House Reps and State Senators as well as
both Democratic and Republican leadership.

1. My condolences MA DUer's.

Sucks to have an embarrassing guv. I know, mine's Pence...

[librarylu]

2. And mine's McCrory.

Beats me how they get elected.

[Glamrock]

3. Ugh.

Again, my condolences.
At least you have a pretty state though.... Oh! And your vinegar based BBQ? Amazing!
We have corn. And soybeans. That's our scenery.

4. I've never really gotten into the barbeque

but then I'm not from around here. Jesse Helm was in office when I moved to North Carolina; little did I know.

I'm in the western part near the Blue Ridge. It is pretty. I'm not much on tobacco growing and hog farms.

My mom's dad was the first to grow soybeans in Delaware county, or so I was told. Corn everywhere. I can relate but I wasn't born in Indiana.

5. Maine voters want him, warts and all

I think his gruesome views and style were known when he was re-elected in 2014. I think impeachment should be limited to bribery, disability, felonies , alcoholism etc.

[eShirl]

6. alcoholism may be a factor, actually

and fwiw he did not get reelected by a majority of votes

[MarianJack]

7. He didn't get a majority either time.

THANKS EAliot Cutler!

PEACE!

8. Wrong. His poll numbers are in the sewer, and he is NUTS and most Mainers think so.
