CRISIS: Andrus, we miss you

Dear citizens of Coeur d’Alene, I write to you out of concern for the current political crisis we are under locally as it reflects what is going on in our state and nationally.

There is a slew of “Idaho Freedom Foundation/Brent Regan” implants trying to take over legitimate candidates who posses practical knowledge of what it takes to be in a position of servitude. The whole premise of the Idaho Freedom Foundation and its perverse dogma is rooted in Evangelical churches.

These people claim to be “Christians” but they are not. They want to take over local governments and have done quite well in their endeavors. As proud as I am of the Episcopal/Anglican Church, it would be completely inappropriate to have our Church or any church infiltrate and run the government. Separation of Church and State is paramount!

“Take Back Idaho?” What a joke. Most of these people are not from here and have not lived here long. They come from places like Orange County and Texas.

Idaho was a “Blue State” for years, rooted in Gov. Cecil Andrus’s leadership. Andrus advocated for workers rights and preservation of our forests and natural resources. In the name of Cecil and Frank Church, we need to send these lunatics packing and vote them out.
