This blatant intimidation is designed to put pressure on the board to ignore the facts and fire Heather anyway despite the evidence of their own eyes. They saw the video, they know that what Mitch's cronies say happened did NOT happen (Shouting "I want you to die!!" at Mitch), yet they may be ordered to destroy Heather's career in order to appease the feudal lord. Mitch McConnell believes that the First Amendment right to free speech is up for sale in Paducah, KY and he intends to purchase it with taxpayer dollars. MY dollars. YOUR dollars. HEATHER'S dollars. HELL NO!! But wait, there's more....

When we "visit" the Senator's condo at Protest Point in Louisville we are sharply reprimanded for stepping on the grass!!!

I hope the board does the right thing and stands by the free speech of their employee and her daughter.

As of now Heather does not know if she has a job waiting for her tomorrow morning. The board watched the tape of the entire encounter. They had been told by Mitch's people that Heather and her 12-year old Heaven had screamed "I want you to die!" at the Senator. The videotape shows this not to be true. Stay tuned to bluegrassroots.org for further developments.... Update on Heather Ryan….

However, when board members allowed Mitch to film his campaign commercial in their 501(c)(3) establishment, they certainly made it seem as though they were choosing a candidate. Wouldn't you think? So if the board can allow him to film his campaign commercial in their establishment, why then can Ms. Ryan not express her opinion, or rather merely ASK her Senator for a moment of his time???? It seems that the violation of the campaign activity prohibition was committed by the board members themselves by allowing the "good Senator" (said with tongue in cheek) to film in their establishment.

just who gave him permission?

one of the rules of a 501 quote “giving improper preferential treatment to certain candidates” “by permitting them to speak at functions “

Or that she hadn't boned up enough on the rules governing political activity by employees of 501(c)3's that are recipients of federal money, especially in federal races? (Most 501(c)3s discourage any type of political activity, I know, I used to work for one and was constantly reminded by my board even though I generally SUPPORTED the incumbent senator and representative in my district). And it doesn't bother anyone that the kid has been brainwashed enough to actually BELIEVE that McConnell wants to actually kill her daddy? Maybe the pink hair dye caused dain bramage to her at such a young age. ;-) No one else is bothered by the fact that this Navy vet was so gutless that she sent her kid to do her dirty work for her?

(Though shouldn't it really be States' Rights?) Until a 12-year-old girl is elected by someone and is on those someone's payroll, she doesn't have to answer for squat.
