Iowa State Senator to college students: "Go back home"
Loading...
Uploaded by iowasenate on Jun 8, 2011
"Filled with contempt" is the only way to describe the tone of the top Republican on the Iowa Senate's Education Budget committee when he spoke to student leaders from the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, and the University of Northern Iowa. More information at http://www.senate.iowa.gov/democrats/republican-message-to-students-shut-up/
TRANSCRIPT OF SENATOR SHAWN HAMERLINCK'S COMMENTS: "I do not like it when students actually come here and lobby me for funds. That's just my opinion. I want to wish you guys the best. I want you to go home and graduate. But this political fear, leave the circus to us OK? Go home and enjoy yourselves. I want to thank you for joining us and though I have to concede, your time speaking before us is kind of a tad intense. It's probably a pretty new experience. You probably prepared for it for days and you sat there in front of us trying to make sure your remarks were just right, and that's a good thing. But actually spending your time worrying about what we're doing up here, I don't want you to do that. Go back home. Thanks guys."

Of course thsi douchebag doesn't want young people knowing he's in office. The poor dickhead might actually lose!

politicians sure do suck

As a student in Iowa that pays attention to what's going on down at the state capitol, I feel personally attacked by Sen. Hammerlinck's remarks. I hope that he actually listens to his constituents next time (then again, hopefully there won't be a next time). I mean he's ranking member of the senate education appropriations subcommittee, he should at least be willing to listen to the students he's suppose to be working for.

US empire crumbling with few Americans Noticingby zen5678692 views
Iowan Republicans think the right of citizens to petition their govern does not apply to people of certain occupations or income levels. "If you are not a millionaire and have not donated to my campaign you do not belong here. Only the rich are sovereign over the State, not the People."

well EXCUSE us students for participating in democracy. I hope Senator Hamerlinck realizes he just encouraged political apathy in today's youth.
