Sheila Kihne at Activist Next Door <\/em>is\u00a0after Mark Ritchie now – and she’s not alone<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Our second close statewide election in two years has piqued the interest of renowed researcher and blogger, Trevor Louden, at the New Zeal blogspot. (New Zealand)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The blog post is titled “Mark Ritchie File 1 Conflict of Interest? Minnesota SOS Adjudicated Committee Colleagues’ Election results”<\/p>\n

Loudon describes Ritchie’s connections to Wellstone Action (which are pretty well know around these parts) but he points out what should be very obvious: there is a major conflict of interest in serving on the Advisory Board for Wellstone action and being a “non-partisan” overseeing a statewide recount.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For those of you from out of state – “Wellstone Action<\/a>“, named for the late Senator, is a\u00a0political\u00a0action organization dedicated to getting “progressive” organizing and training, to get “progressives” elected.<\/p>\n

Ritchie is also backed by the “Secretary of State Project<\/a>“, a Soros-backed PAC dedicated to getting “progressive” Secretaries of State elected – because Soros and the left’s power and money elite know that the best way to control this nation is to control its election system.<\/p>\n

Sheila’s got plans:<\/p>\n

This is getting interesting.<\/p>\n

I have to hit the library tomorrow for more on Ritchie’s ties to far-left RONGEAD– a French NGO where Mark Ritchie is currently listed as a member of their Steering Committe (and Minnesota’s Secretary of State!!) Hey-Pat Doyle, did you know about RONGEAD in 2006 when you glossed over Ritchie’s coordination with a French NGO to produce United States federal government trade secrets? How about you Sharon Schmickle when you covered this story in the late 80’s when Ritchie was at the MN Dept of Agriculture? Unbelievable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pat Doyle, sugarcoating DFLers and cherrypicking stories against Republicans<\/a>? \u00a0Who’da thunk it?<\/p>\n
