Shame on Margaret Anderson Kelliher - Speaker of the MN House

I'm sitting here at work this afternoon listening to the happenings at the State House. Apparently Margaret "Anderson" Kelliher believes she is the ruler and queen, not the Speaker of the Peoples House.

All I can say is "wow". DFL'ers this afternoon cut off debate, cut off amendments, and cut off the voice of the minority in a way that can only remind one of a government being run by Hugo Chavez and not Americans.

Today your voice was not allowed to be heard. The only voices that could be heard were those allowed by Kelliher and her cronies.

She did everything she could to not allow the minority to speak. She broke rules, she gavelled down opponents, she sped up her movements all in attempts to circumvent rules and shut down speech.

Shamefully your local Brooklyn Park representatives voted to allow all this. Every time a vote came up they all voted to allow this circus to continue.

Shame on Mike Nelson, Deb Hilstrom and Melissa Hortman for going along with gagging the people's voice.

I never once witnessed Republicans doing this to the then-minority DFL. Never once.
