State Rep. Cynthia Chase has made national news for her statements that “Free Staters” are the biggest threat to the state and thet she wished to restrict their freedoms in an attempt to make FSP participants leave New Hampshire.

A Petition for Redress of Grievances has begun circulating on the internet and requests that Rep. Chase be censured and/or impeached. The Petition at Change.org _{(full url http://www.change.org/petitions/nh-state-house-censure-and-or-impeach-cynthia-chase)} reads:

Whereas State Representative Cynthia Chase has stated, she wants “to pass measures that will restrict the ‘freedoms’ that [Free Staters] think they will find here,” and
Whereas this shows her intent to enact laws to interfere with protected rights, and
Whereas her intent is to harm a specific group of people, and
Whereas her statements are in violation of the “Equal Protection Clause” of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of these United States of America;

Be it resolved, that we, the undersigned call for the immediate censure of Representative Chase from the General Court, and
Be it resolved, that we, the undersigned call for impeachment proceedings against Representative Chase, and
Be it resolved, that we, the undersigned request the General Court take any additional actions against Representative Chase that the General Court sees fitting.

Censure at the very minimum.

  Yeah and maybe a time out, too. Really, a censure?

  LOL. This is whole petition thing is pretty useless. Didn’t they just ban a committee in charge of petitioning?

  Many signatures could motivate other reps to move on it.

  The House did just abolish the Grievance Committee; however people still have a right to petition the governments for a redress of grievances. This right is recognized by Article 31 & Article 32 of the NH Constitution, as well as the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution.

  Her party is in power. I honestly think aiming for a censure could be aiming too high.

OK New Hampshire, shows us you can stand up for Liberty. Arrest this fat bit@h for treason and sedition! It’s about time we make an example out some of these Communist and Marxist jerks.

  I’m not advocating that she be arrested, simply be censured or impeached from the Legislature. As a State Rep. it is a violation of her oath of office to advocate harming a segment of the population (Free Staters) for the benefit of another segment of the population (those the who support big gov’t).

  I never advocate for her to be arrested, I’m advocating she be censured (which is essentially the Legislature saying “we don’t condone your comments/actions”) or impeached (removed from office).
  As an elected “representative” there are certain things she is not allowed to say; and her advocating for the removal of rights from one group of people to benefit another group of people is a violation of her oath of office.

  As I’ve noted elsewhere, such an action would be construed as being fundamentally the same as a Bill of Attainder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_attainder), which is prohibited by the Constitutions NH and the US. Proposing something like that is /definitely/ cause for impeachment.
