Vote Kate to save North Idaho |

October 29, 2016 |
I’m writing to share my support for Kate
McAlister in her campaign for State
Representative 1-A and excited to ask you to
vote for her. But I’m also writing to share my
fears about the future of our end of the state.
I’m writing to tell everyone willing to listen
that they should fear Heather Scott and the
redoubt movement.
I’ve lived in Idaho most of my life and have
always been proud of our heritage and connection
to our state that has a reputation for rugged
individualism and independence. We have always
been the home of unique characters that value
our privacy and personal freedoms. Famous and
infamous characters like Buckskin Billy, Polly
Bemis, Ed Pulaski or Patrick McManus are some of
these notable individuals I feel represent our
state and some of these values.
We have always welcomed and been aware of
citizens who have moved to Idaho specifically
for our freedoms and land. We have always
respected their opinions and right to live their
lives as they choose while following our state
and federal constitutions and their respective
laws. But the redoubt movement, which is the
latest wave of immigrants to come to North
Idaho, have come organized to not only use Idaho
for our freedoms and land, but also to take over
our state and local governments.
When I first heard of them I assumed it was
another conspiracy theory and legend like random
evil clown sightings. But when Heather Scott,
our current District 1-A representative,
announced on the redoubt news website that she
was calling them to action to stop an historic
Idaho timberland owner from receiving payment
for not developing their private property and
continue to provide well-paying jobs in the
timber industry, I became aware of the
connection … and of the danger to our community
and way of life.
Thankfully my friend and role model, Kate
McAlister, has taken it upon herself to stop
Heather Scott and the redoubt movement. She is
selflessly sacrificing her personal time and
herself to stand up against this latest wave of
carpet-baggers that think the proud, reasonable
citizens of North Idaho and District One will
bend to their will.
Kate is running to represent all of District
One, not just the people that vote for her and
their self-serving interests and conspiracies.
She is running to add to Senator Shawn Keough’s
track record of bringing reasonable and sensible
government to Boise. She is running to make sure
that our kids get ready for their future in our
education system, that our infrastructure is
ready to provide for more economic growth and we
can all have a shot at a job in North Idaho that
pays enough that we can afford to live here. She
is running to move Boundary County, Bonner
County and The State of Idaho into the future,
not back to one-room school houses and mud
roads.
Please vote for Kate McAlister for our Idaho
Legislative District 1-A Representative on
November 8 and save North Idaho! |
