Scott Herndon needs to stop with the yelling

Scott Herndon's giant campaign postcards are a print version of screaming. I'm insulted and I'm tired of it.

He distorts and oversimplifies issues. For instance, he says "Woodward was endorsed by and received money from a pro-illegal immigration PAC." He "forgot to" say the PAC was the Idaho Dairymen's Association who is not in favor of illegal immigration and advocates for federal reform that provides legal status for their existing workforce and access to a visa program. 90% of Idaho’s dairy jobs are filled by immigrants who need to drive to do their work.

So Jim Woodward voted for driving authorization cards. These do not make immigrants legal, just lets them drive legally. Thus he fine tunes his positions to take account of confusing difficulties. No distortion here. He will serve us better than someone who ignores both the complexity and scope of our problems and those who live with them daily.

But Herndon keeps doing the same thing over and over, distorting facts without adjusting his positions in the smallest degree. And then browbeating us.

Let's acknowledge the intricate balances holding our lives prisoner now, and try to find solutions.  

Vote with me for Jim Woodward in Tuesday's primary.
