CdA man backs Malheur protesters
Jay Lamkin is hoping for a peaceful end to the Oregon standoff in which protesters have seized buildings on a federal wildlife refuge. The Coeur d'Alene landowner held a sign calling for an end to federal tyranny on one side and "Citizens for Constitutional Freedom" on the other — at the intersection of Northwest Boulevard and Ironwood on Tuesday. "This is what I can do until there is a peaceful end to the situation in Oregon," he said as traffic passed by. "I'm not anti-government. I'm anti-overreach by the government. Pray for a peaceful outcome." Lamkin, who also hit the streets on Monday, said he'll be on busy local street corners until there's resolution at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns. "The protesters are peaceful and want to go home to their families," he said/Brian Walker, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
Question: Mrs. O said she saw Lamkin at noon today holding his sign near Kinko's at Government Way & Appleway. Have you seen him?
