What the campaign signs don't say

Extremists running in the Republican primary don't tell us that Dorothy Moon, chair of the Idaho Republican Party says that the GOP is a “private club” where only the faithful can participate and vote. She is dead wrong because Idaho law allows independents to register and vote in the Republican primary on primary election day Tuesday, May 21.

Moon’s extremist branch of the Republican Party has tried to change that law more than once and has always failed. Taxpayers of all parties pay for the election and should not be barred from voting in the GOP primary where most races are decided. Moon and her followers place themselves above the law when it comes to voting.

Republicans of all stripes! Vote on May 21 for Republican candidates like Jim Woodward and Mark Sauter. To find your precinct, call the Bonner County Elections office at 208-255-3631.

A guide to candidates who oppose Moon and her faction can be found at idahovoters.com.

Thank you for reading my letter.
