Unpatriotic Speaker Pelosi Orders Posters of Fallen Heroes Taken Down On Capitol Hill

"Pelosi censors posters of troops" from the San Francisco Chronicle reports on a new low from Madam Speaker - who apparently has time between promoting her book and saving the planet to order posters of foreign heroes to be taken down in Capitol office corridors.

UPDATE:

"Pelosi vs. Fallen Marines" by Michelle Malkin

The tale of Pelosi's folly begins with Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C. He wished to pay tribute to the service members of Camp Lejeune who had been killed in Iraq or Afghanistan. Accordingly, Walter placed a poster flat against the wall in the corridor outside his office showing their names and pictures.

Speaker Pelosi apparently took umbrage. Under federal law, she is empowered to issue and enforce rules and regulations governing the use of the House office buildings. A 1999 rule prohibits "displaying any flag, banner, or device designed or adapted to bring into public notice any person, party, organization or movement..." On April 17, Pelosi issued a sister hallway policy to improve compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act by restricting "the display of flags and the placing or storing of any items within a hallway exit access, exit or stairwell of the House Office Buildings."
