Uncle Bud's heartburn ...

Focus on local county campaign … please!
© Bud Larsen
March 25, 2012
I leave the self-exiled tenure in my chemo and radiation cave just long enough to make an open plea to you; the people your Uncle Bud loves in our Boundary County; forget the national level campaign and focus your research and thoughts on our local government.

Those four stand up comedians are spending their time bad-mouthing one another instead of focusing their efforts on the goal … getting President Obama out of office.

I candidly report to you that given what has been going on recently on the national front, we as a Republican party, (which use to be loyal to one another) will not defeat Obama.

I won’t even bother evoking wishful thinking that our party will get its act together in a cohesive group strong enough to defeat Obama. The leadership offered us across the board is pathetic, to say the least.

Focus on the upcoming primay, with emphasis on continuity, as given our current economic climate we sure need to seek continued stability at our county level.

I freely make and submit to you for your consideration the following endorsements of who I feel are important to the continued health and welfare of all of us in Boundary County.

Retain all our county commission members – our county is not broke and we do not need someone playing with it.

Vote for a new State Representative so we have a “voice from the north” once again, right here at home. That candidate is none other than Donna Capruso … a no nonsense, tenacious lady who will be a true champion for us.

Uuder that tough façade is a gentle but no nonsense soul. She is ready to hit the road running as she has already blanketed Boise.

We get a built in bonus with electing Donna as our state representative in that her life-mate, Terry, happens to be one of the best political research men I’ve met. Here is a team we need.

Last but not least of my endorsement is for the continued service of Sheriff Greg Sprungel.

The last thing we need is someone coming in with ideas to try … there is no funding for playing “what if”and I doubt if our commission is going to come up with a larger law enforcement budget.

Once again we’re talking continuity … our sheriff’s department is small and functional due to the steady hand of Sheriff Sprungl. Greg is honest to a fault and will call a spade a spade. Retain him and we’ll live in peace for another four years.

It is my love for our way of life around here that prompted me to break out of this medical cocoon I’ve been in. So, I’ve have made my plea to you and now it is time to hide and beat this cancer … and beat it I will, as there are fish in the lakes waiting on Uncle Bud

Missing all of you and truly overwhelmed with the calls of support in my fight with cancer.
Uncle Bud
