GROWTH: Less freedom for citizens
The more the U.S. government grows, the less freedom the citizens have available to enjoy.
OPEN PRIMARIES: Vote yes on Prop 1
Why? Because it opens participation in the primary and gives us all more real choices. And it reduces the machine political influence of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC).
PROP 1: Isn’t consistent with Idaho Code
In regard to Proposition One, I looked up Idaho Code Title 34 — Elections, Chapter 18 — Initiative and Referendum Elections.
ELECTION: Vote is for more than just Trump
I’m not voting for Trump. I’m voting for the First Amendment and freedom of speech. I’m voting for individual opportunity and against communism as Harris put it “equal outcomes for all.”

TRUMP: Policies not personality

REAGAN: Great movie about the president
I encourage everyone to go and see the movie REAGAN now in theaters. It stars Dennis Quaid as President Ronald Reagan and Jon Voight as KGB agent Viktor Petrovich.
OPEN PRIMARIES: It’s about choice
In his Aug. 30 “fact check” of Proposition 1 (Open Primaries Initiative), Brent Regan, chairman of the KCRCC, continues to “miss” the mark: Mis-construing, mis-characterizing, mis-representing, and mis-leading in o…
LIBRARIES: Give assurances that diverse voices are valued
I would like to know, now that Rachelle Ottosen and company have removed and repudiated DEI language on the CLN’s website, what actions they are then willing or intend to take to protect the civil rights of and ens…
