Governor Paul LePage continues to embarrass the state of Maine with his outbursts of profanity and unprofessional behavior.

When Governor LePage tells President Obama to "go to hell" or the respected civil rights organization NAACP to "kiss my butt," he not only casts himself in a negative light, he also projects a negative image of the entire state of Maine. Tourism, investment in the state, and Maine's international reputation are all put at risk by the governor's outbursts.

That's why, regardless of political outlook, all Maine people want their governor to conduct himself in public in a way that demonstrates respect for the office of governor as well as the people of Maine.
