Reagan R’s Accuse Bloem Of Abuse
I am writing to you to emphatically respond to your astonishing abuse of the powers of your
office. I am shocked
at the threat of legal action
by the City of Coeur d’Alene to stifle political debate and trample the First Amendment Rights of the members of the Kootenai County Reagan Republicans. Your statements in the Coeur d’Alene Press today and the intimidating words and actions of city employees demonstrate a caviler disdain for citizens’ rights of free expression and a willingness to use the legal power of the city to suppress political dissent. Your published statement that the city is not “tolerant of circulating” certain political communication during a political campaign demonstrates an incredible abuse of the city’s legal authority. You and city administrator Wendy Gabriel’s threats of legal action to suppress political expression cannot go unaddressed/

Question: Are the Reagan Republicans beginning to marginalize themselves and possibly hurt their candidates?
