A Maine Republican state legislator, Representative John Andrews, has expressed his intention to pursue impeachment against Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows. This comes after Bellows disqualified former President Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot, referencing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits individuals who have “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.
Andrews filed a request with the Maine Revisor’s Office, indicating his desire to file a Joint Order or the appropriate parliamentary mechanism under Mason’s Rules to impeach Secretary of State Shenna Bellows. He criticized the process of appointing Constitutional Officers in Maine, asserting that they are selected by elected Democrat Party insiders through partisan deals in the State House.
In his statement, Andrews emphasized that he aims to impeach Bellows based on the grounds that she is preventing an American citizen, the 45th President of the United States, who has not been convicted of any crime or impeachment, from appearing on the Maine Republican Party ballot in March.
He accused Bellows of displaying hyper-partisanship, asserting that her decision is driven by political motives. Andrews highlighted the importance of upholding the democratic process and criticized the perceived lack of neutrality in Bellows’ actions.
Andrews’ press release cited a social media post in which he characterized Bellows’ decision as “hyper-partisanship on full display” and alleged that it serves her political ambitions.
In response to the controversy, Bellows defended her move during a CNN interview, stating that she carefully reviewed Section Three of the 14th Amendment and interpreted it to include Trump’s engagement in the January 6, 2021, events as an insurrection. She emphasized the weight of evidence indicating an attack on the Capitol and the rule of law.
The decision by Bellows to disqualify Trump from the 2024 primary ballot is part of a broader trend, as similar actions have been taken in other states, including Colorado, referencing the same constitutional clause. The controversy surrounding Bellows’ decision has sparked discussions on the interpretation of the 14th Amendment and its application to individuals who participated in events like the January 6 insurrection.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
