Dear Idaho Republicans,
In case you missed it, the Idaho Statesman reported today that Idaho Republicans are getting "old" and "lazy".
It is time to show them once again what Idaho Republicans can do.
After discussing Republican efforts in Canyon County and elsewhere in Idaho, the article quotes College of Idaho professor Jasper LiCalzi as saying: "They get lazy and they get old. . .This will be a real test of the Republican organization."
The Democrats' old reliable friend, the Idaho Statesman, is trying desperately to help carry them across the finish line. But these attempts to discourage Idaho Republicans will fail -- just as they always do.
The Idaho Republican Team is organized, energized and ready for victory on November 4.
What the Idaho Statesman and other liberal media outlets don't understand is that the Idaho Republican Party is not about one person; and we are definitely not a top-down organization. Our strength has always come from the grassroots -- rank-and-file Republicans. From the precinct and county level up; that is where our strength lies; garnering one vote at a time.
As Republicans, our drive and determination comes from within. Our belief is in a calling greater than ourselves.
Our motivation stems from a deep concern and conviction about the future of our great nation. That is why we win; because we have no choice but to fight for our children and our grandchildren; to protect what generations before us have fought and died for. That is what drives us as Republicans.
Democrats continue to field candidates that believe the answer is more government, more taxes and more spending.
They say they support the 2nd Amendment, but they support gun control measures. They say they are for balance on natural resource issues, but they support radical, out-of-state environmental groups. They say they are concerned about the economy, but they want to take more money out of our pockets.
The choice for Idahoans in this election is stark: GOP candidates that support core, conservative Republican principlies against the Democrat Party of Barack Obama and his plan to redistribute wealth and grow government; the Republican Party of bold ideas and innovative solutions vs.
the Democrat party with the same old, tired plans to tax and
spend.
It is no mistake that Walt Minnick has publicly support Barack Obama since January; they believe in the same things, and they will both do all they can to help further the liberal agenda of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. While Walt Minnick may be ashamed to admit that he is a Democrat -- or find it politically expedient to pretend to be something else -- he is definitely not a Republican. Let's make sure we get the vote out for Republicans!
The challenge has been issued. They say that we are "old"
and "lazy"; that we are doomed to failure as the coming tide of Barrack Obama and his liberal, "spread the wealth"
Democrats descends upon Idaho. As the reddest-of-the-red states, it is time to once again show that we are up to the test.
I know that each and everyone of us is up to the challenge.
Let us now re-double our efforts and make sure that every Idahoan gets out to vote -- and vote Republican -- on November 4.
Thank you.
Victory 2008
Norm Semanko, Chairman
Idaho Republican Party

Be strong, Norm! Don't be like that weak President Bush who apologized for calling it the "Democrat Party"; since we Republicans are the ones who want English to be the official language, we can mangle it however we want! Anyway, all those rules for changing nouns into adjectives are too confusing for Patriots like us, and it's only Socialist teachers who really know the rules anyway!
