MNGOP: THE KELLIHER RECORD PART V
By Luke Hellier | December 15, 2009
KELLIHER IS BIG CITY LIBERAL
Kelliher Voted For The “Dream Act†Which Provides In State Tuition To Illegal Immigrants. (SF1989, April 19, 2007)
Kelliher Called For Repeal Of State’s Concealed Carry Law. “Gov. Tim Pawlenty said Tuesday he supports changing Minnesota’s new handgun law — which goes into effect today — to make it easier for churches and businesses to keep guns off their premises. The change proposed by Republican leaders would mean private establishments would only have to post a no-gun sign or tell patrons of their no-gun policy if they want to keep guns out. The law passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Pawlenty last month requires both the posting and personal notification. … Critics of the law, however, may see this as an opportunity to press for more change in the law — or even call for its outright repeal. ‘The safest way to clean up the bill is to repeal it,’ said Rep. Margaret Anderson Kelliher, DFL- Minneapolis.† (John Welsh, “Pawlenty Urges Quick Fix To Handgun Law,†Pioneer Press, May 28, 2003)
Noting The Lack Of Appeal Of Urban Liberals In “Much Of Minnesota,†Liberal Columnist Slammed Kelliher’s Election As Speaker. “The DFL has proved again that it can’t tolerate success. Hours after holding statewide victory parties, DFLers in the House and Senate opted to become the party of Minneapolis. In a stunning disconnect from reality Thursday night, Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Larry Pogemiller were picked as the leaders of the House and Senate. These two live blocks apart in Minneapolis. In much of Minnesota, including metro suburbs, they represent two of the scariest words in politics: ‘Urban liberals.’â€Â (Doug Grow, “Leadership Picks Make DFL Tent Look Pretty Small,†Star Tribune, November 12, 2006)
- “But she also has a bachelor’s degree from Gustavus Adolphus in St. Peter, Minn., a master’s degree in public administration from Harvard and has represented a silk-stocking district in South Minneapolis since she was elected to the House in 1998.â€Â (Bill Salisbury, “House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher Officially Jumps Into Race For Governor,†Pioneer Press, September 16, 2009)

As for the Dream Act, the fact that Republicans want to make it more difficult for kids to go to college is an issue I am very willing to campaign on.

As for the Dream Act, the fact that Democrats want to make it easier for people that are here ILLEGALLY to recieve in-state tuition, instead of the taxpayers of the state, is something i can campaign on. Why do you hate the people who pay the bill, Hector? Other than by being stupid.
