The Impeachable Speck

I just sent this email to my state representative:

Subject: Impeach the governor

Dear Representative Donelan,

I am appalled by the behavior of Governor Romney in recent months, and especially this past week. He has made disparaging remarks about our great commonwealth (often disguised as jokes) and the justices of our Supreme Judicial Court, and he has failed to defend the honor of our representatives in the United States Senate when they were insulted publicly (I'm referring to the "modern-day KKK" remark) at an event where the governor spoke. These acts and failures have come while he was pursuing his own personal gain as he seeks political support and monetary contributions for a future run for national office.

The Constitution says, "he should not have his attention necessarily diverted from that object [the public good] to his private concerns -- and that he should maintain the dignity of the commonwealth in the character of its chief magistrate...." This article, in establishing the rationale for providing the governor with a salary, also sets a high standard for his behavior--a standard that Governor Romney has failed to meet.

It is time for the house of representatives to investigate the governor's failure to maintain the dignity of the commonwealth.

Sincerely,

Bill Denneen
Greenfield

I'm tired of this guy putting down his own state for his own political gain. It's a violation of his duties as governor, and he should be held accountable for the damage he is doing.
