VOTE: For less government

As we get close to election day I wanted to urge all registered voters to go out and vote. You have no right to complain if you do not exercise your right to vote. My wife and I voted early. I would like to recommend that you consider Ron Nilson and Robert Ketchum for the college board as they will bring new ideas to North Idaho College concerning vocational and technical education. I believe Kathy Sims will help in the Idaho House to keep control of our finances and balance budgets just as she has had to as an automobile dealer.

I know that Raul Labrador will not caucus with the Democrats and that alone would be reason enough to not vote for Minnick who will and he would vote to keep Speaker Pelosi in power. Butch Otter is an excellent governor and has one of the best records in the United States for balance budgets and keeping our taxes down. I have a hard time voting for Commissioner Currie since he lost the primary and voted to have no tax increase after he decided to run as a write-in candidate.

In effect each of you voters should vote to preserve our free enterprise way of life, our constitution in Idaho and the United States, and less government in our lives instead of more.
