DFO: We’re No Longer R’s Or D’s

@Arsaken … I noticed that the rally was peopled by a wide range of ages — not just old farts like me — and attracted many of the community’s movers & shakers. I consider this Stop the Recall effort all about the future of this community — what we will leave behind to your generation and your children’s generation. That so many local Republicans are involved in the attempt to stop progress is extremely bothersome. Two of them got elected to the City Council by a concentrated partisan effort by the Reagan Republicans while the community wasn’t paying attention. Here’s hoping the Stop the Recall drive boils into something that will take our community back from the ideologues who control the dominant political party. We are no longer Republicans or Democrats here. We’re for the greater good of Coeur d’Alene.

Question: Isn't it time to put the good of the community above partisan politics? And to tell your family and friends to do likewise?
