Letter: Take Back Boundary GOP

We, the following Individuals, have come to the conclusion that there is a need to change the makeup of the current Boundary County Republican Central Committee. We feel that the views of all of the Boundary County Republicans are not being represented by Chairman Donna Capurso, or the majority of the committee. The state Republican committee has taken away the right of Republican men and women in the military to have any voice in the selection of the Presidential candidate. The local committee even wanted to make the candidates for local office be allowed to run as Republican candidates ONLY with the blessing of the central committee. This is NOT what the process of electing our President, and other elected officials is about. We are running in the Republican Primary Election on May 15 for Precinct Committee positions on the Republican Party Central Committee/Letter to Mike Weland's News Bonners Ferry. More here.

Question: Sound familiar? Are you finally starting to see that the Far Right is at work throughout North Idaho trying to take over government? Do you still think Coeur d'Alene recall is only about McEuen Field?
