REGAN: Who represents us?
Coeur d'Alene Press | UPDATED 4 days, 23 hours AGO
I was infuriated reading Brent Regan’s April 17th “Little Big Tent” article. Buried at the end of his opine, he advised us to “…find grassroots conservative Precinct Committeemen…” via a third-party political website.
Think about what he wrote for just a moment. In many cases he’s not supporting the committeemen we voted for and that begs a crucial question, “Doesn’t Brent believe the voters decide who represents them?” I think his article clearly shows his response.
Our political parties are supposed to support the candidates we elect. The right to select and vote for our representation is a bedrock of our republic. For a political party chairman to wield their influence and attempt to replace competent citizens elected to represent you and I, especially in our local community, is unforgivably immoral.
Our county’s Republican party deserves better direction. It’s just common sense.
