Political parties are private organizations. They are the manifestation of our freedom of association, our fundamental right to increase our persuasive capability by gathering with likeminded individuals to petition our government. Political parties are a necessary evil. Evil because they pit citizens against one another. Necessary in that we need the conflict to ensure the […]

We live in perilous times. With the threat of war abroad and a literal invasion taking place on our southern border, we desperately need leaders who will speak the truth and hold those in power to account. Earlier this week, the Idaho House of Representatives had an opportunity to make a strong statement that the […]
Conservatives in my state are currently abuzz with talk of gubernatorial primary candidates. One candidate seems favored by activists on the right, partly because he’s saying key things they want to hear but also because he’s the best-funded and deemed most able to beat the Democrat in November. Upon hearing that this candidate previously served […]
Civil Society
What comes to mind when thinking about a civil society? Perhaps where people interact in a civil manner, or the community at large participates with civility, airing differences without harshness towards one another. How did the Founders view a civil society? Just prior to the Declaration of Independence, Alexander Hamilton declared, “When the first principles […]
Labrador Letter: “Debanking”
Dear Friends, Recently, my office has taken several concerned phone calls from Idaho residents who are worried about the new trend playing out in the financial sectors of our economy – “debanking,” where a large banking institution quietly closes your account because your business isn’t meeting their social goals, like climate change or Diversity, Equity, […]
WASHINGTON D.C. – Congressman Fulcher released the following statement on President Biden’s State of the Union address: “The State of the Union that President Biden just described is not an accurate reality. The truth is, President Biden and his anti-American policies are responsible for our border crisis, not Congress. Almost a year ago, the House […]
Caucus Saboteurs
Last Saturday, thanks to efforts by the Idaho Republican Party, nearly 40,000 Idaho Republicans were able to cast their vote for their preferred Presidential Candidate. This could not have happened without the Republican Party acting after the Secretary of State, the legislature and the Governor all agreed to cancel the March Presidential Primary. What is […]
Idahoans Demand Change!
Straw Poll Reveals Discontent with Biden’s Leadership, Embrace Conservative Values for Restoration Last weekend, tens of thousands of Republicans came together to select Idaho’s choice for the next President of the United States. Donald Trump overwhelmingly won the Idaho Republican Presidential Caucus, taking approximately 85% of the vote. The voice of the people was heard […]
On March 1, 2024, the Senate Judiciary & Rules Committee (SJRC) voted to send SCR 114 and SCR 115 to the floor for a vote. SCR 114 addresses Term Limits, and SCR 115 addresses a Balanced Budget amendment (BBA). Both resolutions include the language “call a convention” or “calling of a convention of the states”. […]
Republicans Do The Splits
In our current political scene, it looks like Republicans in North Idaho are doing the splits. We have a far right extremely small splinter group largely composed of out-of-state agitators who are either Catholic monarchists, anti-Semites, Christian Nationalist authoritarians, or some combination of those or other tiny faction. Then we have the Kootenai County Republican […]
Are you getting sick of seeing bad faith attacks on the Idaho Republican Party and our upcoming Presidential Caucus? I know I am. It’s quite frankly downright disgusting, and I’m going to call out the bad actors who are behind it. The power brokers of Idaho’s political establishment took a beating at the state convention […]
Critics and Liars
Hearing some of the complaints about the upcoming caucus I am reminded of the story of the young mother and son’s day at the beach. One day a young mother agrees to take her 6-year-old son to the beach. On arrival, mom sets up her towel and umbrella and then admonishes her son not to […]
