We are living in the "dark ages" brought on by the right wing radical religious zealots....and it begins right here in the conservative churches in our quaint little river town, Little Falls, Mn., the "Intolerance Capitol of Minnesota". But the local pro-lifers will NEVER talk about this. OR perpetual US wars of aggression.....definitely pro-life concerns. Hypocrites......all of them..... Faith Lutheran, Living Hope Assembly of God, Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Mary's Catholic Church, The Rock, Faith/Hope and Love word/rhema prosperity church, Baptist, some of the Sisters at the Franciscan convent, and more.

There are even a great number of right wing religious zealot/hypocrites that attend and are in leadership positions at First United Church, across the street from me.

Hey Fred/Ethel/Franciscan Sister Dorothy Ann...you get preference in the White House with your radical right wing religious/political views.

Little Falls city council 11-1-13 viol off street parking by Wetzel Law and citywide garage sale

11-1-13 Little Falls city council mtg. violation of required off street parking in front of Wetzel Law bldg. Jerry Lochner finally admits it was a "staff mistake" when confronted nicely by Alderman Brian Crowder. Right.....it was no more a staff mistake than a blue potato. It was an "exception" by city staff and council.....as they always do...favor some, and crack down on others....depends on who you are, what service clubs you belong to and who likes you(or your political speech).

No Clownin Around, temp workers deserve livable wages St. Cloud Mn. 11-26-13

I wasn't clownin around, or was I?

This is my colorful way of making sure the critical issue gets attention of the car traffic at a main intersection in St. Cloud Mn. on 11-26-13. I stood proudly with all those workers, who are not being paid fairly. There were many other issues of unfair labor practices going on with these workers as well. Substandard busing to the job sites and more. Hope I helped in some small way.

Little Falls Mn Cable Board mtg 2-6-17

Little Falls Mn Cable Board meeting 2-6-17. They are finally willing to hold the required public hearing, after requesting it numerous times since 2012. At 33 minutes towards the end of the video, is where I ask the question when will they have the REQUIRED BY LAW public meeting on Spectrum/Charter TV to hear public concerns/complaints. Councilor Leif Hanson(under his breath) says "Robin and her 1 friend will attend" or something very similar. I sure hope I am not alone in expecting our city government to obey ALL laws, local, state and federal. Watch the Morrison County Wreckord (Record) the official city newspaper, for the public hearing announcement coming soon for the March public hearing.

Hey Fred and Ethel, Ron Kresha introduces anti-BDS UNCONSTITUTIONAL bill 2-7-17

More rotten representation by Ron Kresha....boycotting has been decided by the Supreme Court to be Constitutionally protected free speech. All legislators, including Kresha, are sworn to uphold the Constitution(state and federal)....so why is Ron introducing UNCONSTITUTIONAL legislation?

Please show up on Tuesday 2-7-17, or call (first thing Monday morning 2-6-17) the number listed in the first document; Amanda Tinsley at 651-297-8134, to voice your concern(you may be able to have your message read at this meeting). It is clear that Ron Kresha care$ not about Palestinian suffering/languishing in illegal concentration camps run by the Israeli military. Is his "religion" driving him, OR ALEC(American Legislative Exchange Council) or BOTH ???? Regardless they are equally dangerous to society AND his constituents. This proposed legislation was likely written by ALEC. Kresha continues to display a pathetic lack of character/integrity. I am ashamed of him.

Little Falls is #8 of the 10 DUMBEST CITIES IN MINNESOTA. Anybody surprised? I'm not.

This explains why Morrison County voted the heaviest of all the counties in Minnesota for TRUMP.

Little Falls is the "Intolerance Capitol of Minnesota"

Lots to be proud of.

NOT.

Hey Fred and Ethel ...Ron Branstner speaks about the Refugee Resettlement Program

Branstner I am told lives with his mommy in Eden Valley, Mn and drives her older Lincoln. What kind of guy is he? And he has the audacity to call himself a Christian. Right. He speaks some of the most anti-Christian rhetoric of any I have heard.

Free Speech as defined by Mark Slupe, Great River TV station manager.

Pretty clear the template that plays on Great River TV on Fridays is not true.(read Terminello v. City of Chicago, Supreme Court decision in letter above)

>license is the correct spelling not "licence" as Mark Slupe(or helper) has it written

I'd sure like to know how Mark Slupe thinks this kind of deceitful tactic will increase viewership.

Little Falls Cable Board no quorum 1-23-17, and Great River TV VIOLATE their own policies and procedures, allows advertisements.

Don't miss the video below of the Cable Board meeting that could not take place because there was no quorum. Why didn't the president of the board and 3 others show up ? 1-23-17

The current policies and procedures are clear...****.no fundraising or advertising can be aired.****

Today 1-23-17 I asked Jill Moore, the mgr of Great River Arts(GRA has public access contract with City of Little Falls), about the fact the current policies and procedures state that "programming which involve fundraising and advertisements will not be cablecast on available channels." Her answer to this was "I don't know that it's not open to all businesses." Then I point out again, that the policy is clear they can't cablecast advertisements or fundraising. I state it is troublesome that they are violating their own policy. Then Jill says "Robin, thank you for your information and thank you for pointing that out and we'll make some amendments and some adjustments and add that to our list." Then I say that's all well and good but they are in current violation of their own policy. Then Jill says "well we'll make the adjustments in the meantime then."

In other words, THEY CAN VIOLATE THEIR POLICIES, but the public can't without consequence.

It is inappropriate, maybe ILLEGAL, to restrict audio and video recording in a public facility which public access tv studio is....according to their own darn policy. I was accused of (by Jill Moore and Mark Slupe) of unauthorized filming during the public cable board meeting(or potential of a public cable board meeting).

Yesterday I requested Jon Radermacher ask the city council to move the official City of Little Falls Cable Board meetings to their rightful place of City Hall, and not the public access studio because of this restriction. Jon had no idea of this

All of these (below) and the Shoppes of Little Falls logo above, have been aired a number of times and they are all clearly advertisements. There are 2 other Shoppes of Little Falls 15 minute programs(pictures from those not posted here). The pictures on Shoppes of Little Falls, and the other ads,are posted for public education to expose this violation.

Some other guests on the 2 other 15 minute advertisements included Susie Prosapio representing The Purple Carrot, a health food co-op business and well know watercolor artist Kathy Braud. These are just a few of the local artists that were allowed to advertise their products on Great River Television, in clear violation of the policies and procedures of Great River Tv.

If these are not advertisements I don't know what is.

But not unlike Little Falls city council, (when THEY violate the very laws THEY pass, there is NO consequence. Everyone except them is expected to comply with their rules), sounds like Great River Arts board(Jill Moore mgr) resolution to this OBVIOUS/BLATANT violation of their own Great River Art tv policies and procedures, is to change the policy to allow what is now NOT ALLOWED.

There was a scheduled today 1-23-17city Cable Board mtg today but there was no quorum, so no mtg occured. (See picture below)

The City of Little Falls, Mn is currently in VIOLATION of State Statute 238.115 for being unable to provide a telephone number for cable tv consumer complaints that is NOT associated with Charter/Spectrum. I called Jon Radermacher city administrator to ask for this phone number and quoted this statute requirement. This is his response by email on Jan 18, 2017...."This is the response from Charter regarding the consumer complaint number." And then he includes a response from Charter which reads "In reply to your email. The phone numbers that we usually address customer concerns to are the following. If you resident that you mention is a Charter customer with a concern you can forward their contact information and/or account number and we can look to resolve their concern internally." Customer care residential team 888-438-2427, Customer care commercial team 800-314-7195

An earlier email from Jon to a Charter /Spectrum tv agent read "I'm the City Administrator for Little Falls, Mn and I had a resident site(his spelling error) the following statute and request a consumer complaint number." Then he shares this statute...

He finishes the email by asking "Can you provide this number to me, or help me direct the resident to where it can be identified?" Then I responded with this....

And the city still has not provided this public file to me, even though I requested it at the video recorded Cable Board mtg on August 8, 2016....

Here are the requirements of the Shoppes of Little Falls that include a Mn Sales Tax ID number...

On top of all that, the City of Little Falls does NOT have the REQUIRED BY LAW, franchise contract with Charter/Spectrum. The franchise expired May 15,2015.

None of this is acceptable.
