Dear Vaughn,

Good afternoon.  I sent this request almost two weeks ago and have not received any kind of a reply or confirmation that the e-mail was received.  I hope you will choose to answer these questions so that I might make a decision as to whom I will support in the upcoming election.  This is an important time and I feel these are important questions that each of us must ask of candidates for Federal office. 

I am eager to receive your answers to these important questions about constitutional authority.  I want nothing more than to put my full support behind a candidate that will support and defend the constitution and represent the interests of the constituents of this district.  Should I not receive an answer to these questions I will have no option but to conclude you are unable to answer them and therefor are not qualified to serve as the US Representative from our district. In either case, I will share the outcome and my decision with my neighbors and community.

Eagerly awaiting your response.

Dear Vaughn,

First let me start by saying thank you for your service to our country.  Like you, I am a veteran  and I currently have a son serving in the 4BCT, 82nd Airborne who deploys to Afghanistan today and another son who we expect will attend the University of Idaho with an Army ROTC scholarship next year.  You might say we believe in serving our country.

I like the things I see on your website and I hope they are truly your stance.  Like so many, I am very frustrated with the direction our government has been heading for so many years.  It is particularly scary now that Obama has accelerated the advance towards total socialist control.  This past week I attended the Walt Minnick town hall which was very disturbing.  He is unwilling to say with any absolution that government should not run health care and he supports Nancy Pelosi.  I have a complete video of the entire town hall meeting to substantiate that.

That being said, I am obviously looking for a candidate who is willing to follow the oath to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.  Before I can put my full support behind any candidate, there are a few questions that I would like to ask and have answered.


Thank you for your time and consideration.  I will share your responses with others in my area.

Kindest regards,

Erik Nemeck
