The state has finally committed to the funding increase we fought for together. I honestly did not think this would be possible when I started this, but your persistence proved me wrong. Please keep watching how these funds are spent to ensure they reach the people who need help most.

In light of NH State Representative Robert Fisher’s recently revealed pro-rape agenda and egregious actions against women and girls, it has become glaringly evident that, as a state, NH needs to prioritize funding for domestic violence and sexual assault services.

For more background information about Rep. Robert Fisher's outrageous agenda, click here: http://thebea.st/2pZ2AbL.

On the same day that we learned about the insidious activity perpetrated by Representative Fisher, a report was released by the CDC that ranks NH among the worst in the nation for victimization of sexual violence – over 1 in 3 women in NH will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime and nearly 1 in 5 men, both of which are significantly higher than the national average and demonstrate a distinct increase in victimization over the last decade. Sadly, while rates of victimization have steadily increased, state funding for critical victim services has plummeted.

We are calling upon people everywhere to demand adequate funding for these critical services. The time to act is now: NH can and must do better.

Sign your name to this petition to ask lawmakers to prioritize funding for domestic and sexual violence prevention and intervention services. We must ensure that the Granite State doesn't create more Robert Fishers.

I have been reading the stories you are all leaving here and I am honestly overwhelmed by your courage. It is not lost on me that this is happening because you refuse to look away from these facts. I am currently working on getting our message directly to the offices that need to hear it most.

Rep. Fisher's attitudes toward women have no place in NH government. His founding of a misogynist forum and the comments he made therein are inexcusable. His defense of himself accepts no responsibility and makes no amends. Rep. Fisher needs to resign.

As an advocate for domestic and sexual violence and a resident of New Hampshire this saddens me to see that some of our state representative's are condoning such an awful crime and not giving the the funding for the domestic and sexual violence services.

I am amazed that the great state of NH would consider keeping someone in power who clearly thinks rape can somehow be positive, he obviously has never worked with a victim at 2.a.m in absolute trauma so that someone else can "feel good" Disgusted!

Make no mistake, Redpill is a growing hate group actively recruiting young men that warm to the idea that they're justified to feel entitled to women's attention and bodies. Now more than ever we need to be supporting victims of domestic violence.

The culture of disrespect toward women in the House legislature by a vocal but disturbing minority and the CDC data are a disgrace against the good people of NH. I hope the House cleans house soon. Voters will remember what other reps did or did not do.

As a victim of sexual assault the representative's comment is unforgivable and unbelievable! How can this person represent what is good for his constituents? Does he not have a mother, sister, aunt who needs support and protection against sexual predators?!!
