Emery: Government must be controlled

In the accompanying video, former Rep. Ed Emery, R-Lamar, tells those attending the "Consent of the Governed" rally in Jefferson City January 5 stresses the importance of electing conservatives in party primaries, and criticizes what he considers to be the "enemies of liberty" in the Missouri Legislature.

Those enemies include omnibus bills, electing the speaker of the house the year before he takes control, and the all-powerful Rules Committee, which blocks legislation.

Emery says we should never get to the point where we trust government and that government "must be controlled."
