District 1 state Rep. Heather Scott is doing the job she was sent by the voters to handle in Boise and proof of that is how her opponent in this election is attacking her by using the big guys to do her dirty work.

A scathing 6x11 card was sent out against Rep. Scott full of half truths and innuendos but it was the small print in the corner of who paid for the card which made it most interesting.

The card was paid for by CVI, also known as Conservation Voters for Idaho Action Fund. CVI is the Idaho affiliate of the League of Conservation Voters aka: LCV whose chairperson is Carol Browner of the Center for American Progress aka: CAP, having more recently served as director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy but also as an assistant to Barack Obama. CAP or the Center for American Progress was founded back in 2003 by Hillary Clinton’s campaign director John Podesta whose emails have just been released by WikiLeaks. It should be noted that CAP is a key member in a large network of non-profit activist groups organized by George Soros and others to mobilize Get Out the Vote drives, campaign advertising, and policy initiatives to advance Democratic Party agendas.

If Rep. Scott has gotten George Soros’ attention she is doing the job she was sent to do. If candidate Kate McAlister endorsed the 6x11 card it would appear she might be running as the Hillary Clinton of North Idaho.
