>> Friends –
>>  
>> I have started a petition calling on the Maine House to initiate impeachment proceedings against Gov. LePage for misusing the powers of the governor’s office to punish his political enemies.  LePage has stepped over a very important line, and arguably not for the first time.  See http://www.pressherald.com/2015/06/25/our-view-lepage-crosses-the-line-in-mark-eves-firing/ <http://www.pressherald.com/2015/06/25/our-view-lepage-crosses-the-line-in-mark-eves-firing/>.
>>  
>> This is not a partisan issue.  It was Maine's Republican Senator Margaret Chase Smith who spoke out so eloquently against government blacklisting in 1950, saying "The exercise of [First Amendment] rights should not cost one American citizen his reputation or his right to a livelihood."
>> 
>> Under the Maine Constitution, only the House of Representatives can initiate impeachment.  Will you join me in supporting this call?  Please sign the petition here,http://www.thepetitionsite.com/340/395/376/impeach-governor-lepage/ <http://www.thepetitionsite.com/340/395/376/impeach-governor-lepage/>, and share with family and friends.
>>  
>> Thanks!
