Flashback: Rooting Out Liberal Repubs

On Oct. 9, 2010, Melanie Vander Feer, county GOP precinct committee woman from Athol (and facilitator for the United Conservatives of North Idaho event Monday night) wrote a letter to Coeur d’Alene Press editor that read in part: “I am a broken-hearted grandmother who is watching the country that I love so much falling away into socialism and wanting to leave a free country for my little grandchildren whom I dearly love, saying to myself and to God what can I do to help stop this. I found a group called Rally Right after many months of praying and asking God what do to. I found a Pastor and many other God loving and country loving people as broken hearted as I was. They had a plan to get good people into office so that we could finally trust politicians again. I saw a group of good people finally doing something instead of just talking and so I decided to join in helping them. The plan to take over the central committee precinct by precinct was very successful. We ran 54 people against the more liberal committeemen in the precincts in Kootenai County and we won 42 of them.” More here.
