Letter to Editor
Our Attorney General comes up short on facts-on the federal lands, the Land Board and “Ottercare” Obamacare. His short-sightedness demonstrates his lack of understanding of constitutional issues and how out of touch he is with the need for jobs in our rural counties.
He has refused to enforce Idaho’s Health Freedom Act. Because of that Idahoans will be penalized with a “head tax” next year. He has lost several times to environmentalists our grazing leases, he refused to consider land exchanges authorized under Idaho Constitution that would have kept these lands in production. He instructed the Land Board to purchase commercial properties and compete with private business, killing Idaho jobs..
So he seems to be like a Banty Rooster  “crows, struts and poops on everything”.
We need an attorney general that will defend Idahoans, use all legal means to reclaim our public lands from the federal government. Will work to restore our Health Freedom Act so that the citizens of Idaho have the right to choose their health care.
In the May 20th primary I am supporting Chris Troupis for Attorney General who has defended Idahoans’ constitutional right and is not afraid to stand up to the federal government or anyone else.

Governor Otter does not seem to understand that Idaho should avoid all government intrusion in our schools, medical decision and our lives. He has let federal “money” influence him to cooperate with the federal government. These bribes look like money spend like money, but it’s borrowed and has to be paid back by our grandchildren.
Otter signed on to “Common Core” in our schools. Why can’t Idaho develop our own high standards for our students!
Otter’s “Your Health Idaho” exchanges Idahoans’ personal data for more borrowed federal “money.”
As Governor Russ Fulcher would bring “truly” affordable free market choices in health care.
Russ Fulcher would promote local control of our resources, he would also promote for local control in our schools.
States have become entangled in dependence on the floundering federal government. In the May 20th primary let us elect Russ Fulcher to lead Idaho away from this entanglement

Judge Jeff Brudie is running for re-election (Nez Perce, Latah, Clearwater, Idaho and Lewis Counties). The Judicial Election is May 20th (Primary Election). 
Does your primary vote matter for Judge Brudie?  You bet. The courts are the place you expect fairness for all citizens. All voters can vote. Practical point, Republicans swamp Democrat turnout in the primary eight to one. With two candidates, May 20th is it. Make your vote count.
Reelect Judge Brudie on May 20th

I retired a few years ago after having practiced law for almost 34 years in Lewiston.  I have known both Judge Jeff M. Brudie and Mr. John Bradbury for several years.  They are running for district judge in the 2nd Judicial District.
Here are but a few reasons (there are many) I am voting for Judge Jeff Brudie on May 20th:
1) In his 13 years as district judge, Judge Brudie’s record is impeccable.  The most recent national recognition of his drug court mentoring is confirmation of his judicial performance.
2) Judge Brudie is truly non-partisan while his opponent makes no bones about his politics.
3) Brudie’s life experiences as a family man, student athlete, private practitioner and his strict adherence to judicial ethics, avoiding all appearances of impropriety, are an integral part of his qualifications.
4) Judge Brudie’s opponent claims that attorneys “game the poll” when evaluating judicial candidates for the Idaho Judicial Council.  This is totally without foundation and I feel insulted with the baseless accusations he throws at his fellow lawyers.  Is it because his evaluations are unfavorable?  In 2010 (in an overall legal ability rating from 1 to 4 where 4 is the highest) Bradbury only scored a 2!   His opponent scored a 3.6.
Attorneys who practice in front of Judges are generally in a better position than most to know who is the better-qualified judge.  I suggest you ask your own attorney about these two gentlemen. And then vote for Judge Brudie on May 20th.
