Demand the Resignation of Representative Martin Harty:

The following is the sickening story:
Law maker states that all "ret*ds" should be sent to Siberia
A 91-year-old New Hampshire state legislator is unapologetic after suggesting
to a constituent that the state ship people with disabilities to Siberia.
The comments came when Sharon Omand, the manager of a mental health program in
New Hamsphire, called her state representative, Martin Harty, to raise concerns
about funding cuts to mental health services.
Omand said that Harty told her “the world is too populated” with “too many
defective people.” Harty went on to explain that he was referring to, “you know
the mentally ill, the ret*d, people with physical disabilities and drug
addictions — the defective people society would be better off without.”
“I wish we had a Siberia so we could ship them all off to freeze to death and
die and clean up the population,” Harty said, according to Omand’s
account.After the comments were publicized during a state House committee
meeting this week, Harty told the Concord Monitor that he did make the
comments, but said he was “just kidding.”
