Remembering Scott Herndon and his sordid history

With the election coming up, I'd like to remind folks about Scott Herndon and his sordid history in our region.

Most of us in Sandpoint remember him as the guy who harassed children on their way to school by waving graphic images of dismembered fetuses in their faces (without parental consent, mind you), or as the guy who got thrown out of a church, and as the man who paraded around the Sandpoint Farmers Market with a megaphone, spewing twisted interpretation of scripture and again waving graphic images in front of people. 

Herndon is so out of touch that on a recent YouTube video, he said "If the Constitution of the United States or the state of Idaho says its okay to have an abortion, then we should burn the Constitution." Do we really want this man who is willing to burn our Constitution to represent us? Luckily, we have a more reasonable, logical, and sane option. Vote for Steve Johnson, a man who would never burn our Constitution, for State Senate on Nov. 3. 

If you are interested in YouTube video that I reference, it can be found at youtu.be/g8hSc3Y3yKc?si=qZA3CCKIwmC68Oeh.
