Governor Parnell Responds to Department of Administration's Interference With Pro-Life Demonstration

Governor Parnell’s office contacted Restoring Liberty today and responded to the story and YouTube charging the Department of Administration with interfering with a pro-life protest in front of the Capitol.

Here’s the Governor’s statement:

I was surprised to learn that a Department of Administration employee had been directed to park a State vehicle in front of peacefully assembled demonstrators outside the capitol. I am unaware of any State or local law having been violated by the protestors and cannot condone infringing Alaskans’ constitutional liberties. I have given direction to the Department to ensure this does not happen in the future unless public safety is at risk or the rule of law violated.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (907) 465-3500.
