Minnesota Secretary of State Participated in A Secret Communist Party USA Meeting

Remember your disbelief when Al Franken was declared the winner in Minnesota's Senate race? After the initial ballot count Republican Norm Coleman was ahead by hundreds of votes, but after Minnesota's Secretary of State, Mark Ritchie, oversaw the election recount, Franken was declared the winner despite claims of vote fraud. The shocking NewZeal report below raises severe doubts about Mark Ritchie's honesty and loyalties.

Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie is regarded as a "non-party friend" by the Communist Party USA.

So highly does the Communist Party regard Mr. Ritchie, that he has been allowed to attend an high level "not to be publicized" Party meeting in Minneapolis.

Some of the Communist Party members at this meeting, later supported Ritchie in his Secretary of State election campaigns. One of them, labor leader Mark Froemke, went on to support two of Ritchie's Democratic - Farmer - Labor - Party colleagues - Al Franken and Mark Dayton in their respective election campaigns.

As Minnesota Secretary of State, Mark Ritchie's job includes overseeing the State's electoral recounts. In 2009, following a very controversial recount, Ritchie awarded a U.S. Senate seat to Al Franken. Currently Ritchie is overseeing another recount which could give Mark Dayton the Minnesota Governorship.

As PJM reported on October 12, federal investigators have targeted — and federal agents have raided — home-grown revolutionaries spread across America suspected of materially supporting terrorism. Summoned before a Chicago grand jury, self-styled peace activist Mick Kelly faces government inquiries into his relationship with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), and Hatem Abudayyeh, executive director of the Arab American Action Network (AAAN).

Though hardly a household name, Abudayyeh’s own connections run deep into enemy territory. The Obama administration saw fit to invite Abudayyeh to the White House for an April 22 meeting of “Arab-American leaders.” But Abudayyeh’s home in Chicago was raided on the same day as Mick Kelly’s in Minneapolis. Given the extent of Abudayyeh’s professional relationships with officially designated terrorists and their associates, the raid should come as no surprise.

As Chicago’s Channel 7 News has reported, AAAN received “as much as $457,000” in government funds since 1998. Organizations led by Abudayyeh’s associates have long been targeted by federal actions against those who fund terror. Last month’s raid suggests that the government suspects Abudayyeh of funneling money to Hamas while siphoning public dollars.
