There is a reason Heather Scott has been in the crosshairs of the local liberal mob: She’s doing her job.

She has been effective in helping to halt the erosion of personal liberties and constitutional rights here in North Idaho. She is engaged with her constituents and understands the nature of her employment with all the citizens of her district: she works for us.

Heather understands throwing good money after bad is not going to fix any broken system. She understands the changes necessary first to stabilize, then for our growth, will be painful in the short-term for all of us. That is terrifying to those who favor the nanny-state approach to life. That North Idahoan independent spirit should be coming to our rescue; American ingenuity should be kicking in to resolve issues without continuing to flog the property owners and the small businesses which keep our local economy running with evermore burdensome regulations, taxes and fees.

Heather Scott is already deep in the trenches working for those creative solutions that can bring private, charitable NGOs, government agencies and corporate parties and resources together for the benefit of all North Idahoans.

If personal choice is important to you, if you want to see our economy grow, your rights and liberties secured, balanced budgets, responsible spending, limited and reasonable taxation, responsible regulation and preservation practices to secure our natural resources, then you have to vote for Heather Scott.
