Press Release

For Immediate Release

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon uses police to throw constituents out of office.

Jefferson City, MO. May 6^th, 2009

Members of the Liberty Restoration Project and We The People were thrown out of the Governors office today around 12:00pm after being instructed that they were “not welcome to return”. Members of the group were returning for the 4^th time to request a meeting over the Missouri Information Analysis Center document that was rescinded. They waited patiently for someone with the Governors office to inform the group when and how they could schedule a meeting when a gentleman with the Governors office (who refused to state his name and job title) approached the group and said he was there to field questions. Catherine Bleish (Executive Director of Liberty Restoration Project) informed the gentleman that they were back for the 4^th time to schedule a meeting.

 

Soon into the conversation, Lt. Mike Meyer with the Missouri Highway Patrol came into the Governors office and informed the LRP that they were “not welcome” in the office and told the citizens not to return. After asking if they were viewed as threats or dangerous, the officer refused to answer the questions and continued to tell the LRP to leave the premise.

 

The Liberty Restoration Project is a focused group of concerned citizens that feel Government is acting out-of-step with the Constitution and works to return officials to act in the name of the people they serve. The LRP finds this tactic by the Governor and the Missouri Highway Patrol a violation of their right to meet with the Governor, and to be thrown out of “the people’s” office is viewed as a great insult to the people of Missouri.

 

The LRP is wishing to have media coverage as soon as possible and are working to upload the video taped confrontation to youtube. Please contact Catherine Bleish by phone (816-868-8806 cell) to either have phone interview or TV interview.
