BOISE, Idaho — Rep. Bill Sali is angry over a campaign flier mailed by the Idaho Democratic Party throughout the 1st Congressional District that shows the Social Security numbers of Sali and his wife.
The personal financial information appeared on documents detailing the Republican's struggles to pay debts dating back to the 1980s.
Campaign aides for Sali, who is running against Democratic challenger Walt Minnick, called on state Democratic leaders to apologize for putting Sali's family at risk of identity theft.
Wayne Hoffman, Sali's campaign spokesman, says "The stunt the Democrats have pulled on Bill and Terry Sali is the most despicable thing I've ever seen."
Idaho Democratic Party Chairman Jim Hansen retorted, "He's a public figure. If he was going to be upset, he probably should have paid off his bills and his taxes."

I've worked on over 40 campaigns and been involved with politics since 1992 and this has got to be one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen!
The Dems smell blood in the water with Sali because he was showing to be a few points down.
That is why we are putting the Sali campaign on our top 9 national targets and releasing that to our national supporter list this morning.

There is a bright side to this story. Sali has been having a hard time gaining ground in this election. Hopefully this will turn enough Democrats away from Minnick and Sali will win. We need Bill Sali in our fight with illegal immigration. Minnick wants amnesty.

Isn't that illegal to publicly post someones SSN? Why isn't the Idaho Democratic Party being charged with charged?

Manner, More Than Ideology, Puts GOP’s Sali in Tossup Idaho Race
By Jesse Stanchak and Bob Benenson, CQ Staff
As a House Republican freshman facing a tough Democratic opponent, Rep. Bill Sali should be able to find comfort in the strong Republican voting tendencies of Idaho’s 1st District — a place that gave President Bush 68 percent of its votes just four years ago. But if any incumbent needs that kind of inherent partisan advantage, it is Sali, whose rough-edged demeanor again is an issue this year after a 2006 open-seat election in which he took just less than 50 percent of the vote and won by a 5 percentage-point margin.
Though he was able to fend off Democratic business executive Larry Grant’s upset bid last time, Sali faces what appears an even stiffer challenge this time from Walt Minnick, another business-oriented Democrat who used to be a Republican and was an aide during the presidency of Richard M. Nixon. Minnick, an avid outdoorsman, also has political experience from his 1996 Senate bid against Republican incumbent Larry E. Craig .
Minnick reported total receipts of $2.3 million as of Oct. 15, more than twice Sali’s $982,000 — these days a rather modest amount for an incumbent facing a serious challenge. Minnick also has topped the $780,000 that Grant raised for the 2006 race by a 3-to-1 ratio. And Minnick has been additionally aided by an infusion of independent expenditure advertising in the 1st District by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), which is much better funded than its partisan counterpart, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). According to the nonpartisan Campaign Finance Institute, the DCCC had a total of $411,000 into Idaho 1 through Tuesday, compared to just $18,500 on Sali’s behalf by the NRCC.
CQ Politics, which takes past voting behavior and demographics into account in handicapping elections, has held the Idaho 1 race at a very tenuous Leans Republican rating, meaning Sali had an edge but an upset by Minnick was a plausible scenario. But the growing financial disparity between the parties in this contest — and the fact that Minnick had a 51 percent to 45 percent lead in an Oct. 18-19 poll by SurveyUSA, the only published independent poll to date in the race — has prompted a rating change to No Clear Favorite.
It is hard to envision that Sali’s problems in this election are mainly a matter of his strongly conservative views. They should, in fact, be among his political strengths. The western of Idaho’s two House districts — which includes part of the state capital of Boise, Nampa and cities such as Coeur d’Alene in the state’s panhandle — is a pretty conservative place, as evidenced by that landslide vote for Bush in 2004 and similar margins run up by Sali’s Republican predecessor, C.L. “Butchâ€Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
