Voter: Redman Ran For Wrong Office

Reid Harlocker response to state Rep. Eric Redman's mailer: "This weekend I retrieved your latest message concerning your efforts in Boise from my mailbox and frankly I am appalled by the content.   Why are you advocating managing issues which are entirely beyond the scope of the State Legislature?  This state is struggling to attract decent employers when the states around us are booming.  This state has an utterly unrealistic view of what is required to maintain decent public education and our infrastructure in rural communities is falling apart.  With so many pressing issues, our state legislature has time to dabble in matters that do not concern them? If you are concerned about federal overreach, go to Washington.  Run for congress or become a citizen advocate.  State sovereignty with respect to the Constitution.  Are you advocating that Idaho succeed from the union?  If so please resign from your seat immediately, militant government is not needed and not what the residents of Idaho desperately need." More here.

Question: When are the uber-con radicals going to give up on this goofy public lands takeover? And when is the Hayden-Rathdrum-Spirit Lake-Athol area going to get decent legislators?
