Disrupting a meeting that people attended to witness the business of the Governor and Council?

There are consequences, Robert, which your wife must face. That’s how society works. It has nothing to do with party it has to so with the maintenance of a civil society. If you don’t want to be arrested don’t disrupt - that is your choice.

It is common courtesy to include your address when writing to members of the House.

It helps both you and your Rep.

Jan,

I would invite you to review video evidence before you make such a statement. The arrests were not due to a disruption and that was clear.

Should the arrest have been warranted, and video evidence available to refute my points, i would be keeping my mouth shut for fear of self incrimination. 

Thanks

Again, your address is important in constituent services.

And no, I believe that if it is proven that this was a wrongful arrest that you have recourse.

Disruption of a business meeting is sort of frowned upon here Robert - they have an agenda to follow. 

If you have other concerns you reach out to your Rep or Senator.

You could ask those people you want to reach to hold a public forum, if you need to speak in public on whatever issue you have - but really - this is NH.

If you were there to protest $27million coming to NH to help slow covid again, you will find no support here. 

Regards,
   Representative Jan Schmidt
Nashua Ward 1

Abuse of power is abuse of power no matter the party, person, views, or otherwise expressed.

Rights are rights of the people. 

This goes for people who agree and do not agree with me or you. It is very sad that things go this way.

I will cease further correspondence with you.

If you have a change of heart about the video footage, please let me know

Wishing you well,

It’s this simple…

you disrupt - you get arrested

your choice
