Vote out the incumbents

I have to say that I’m quite disappointed with the current Republicans serving our state. Why is it that we are the only Republican state in the United States to accept the health care exchange? Why does their voting record show that they are giving more power to the government? I am puzzled by this. Are they listening to their constituents?

I encourage conservative-minded voters to please look up our current legislators’ voting records and see for themselves how they’re voting. Suggested websites: www.idahofreedom.net, www.smart.org, and www.legislature.idaho.gov.

I, for one, will be voting for candidates who will encourage less government interference, are for term limits and seek to get public lands out of the hands of the federal government and into state ownership. Once our lands are returned to state control, we will have the resources needed to help fund our state and not have to rely on federal handouts.

Heather Scott, Danielle Ahrens and Sage Dixon will be my choices, among other conservative candidates. I appreciate their efforts to take our wonderful state of Idaho back from the liberals.
