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 Biden Administration’s deliberate failure to enforce our border security is unacceptable. House Joint Memorial 11 told the unvarnished truth about the eight million illegal aliens that have crossed our southern border since President Biden took office, and placed the blame for that where it belongs: the Executive Branch of the federal government.
The memorial called upon Congress to impeach President Biden and hold him accountable for his willful facilitation of this crisis that has brought crime and drugs into our communities.
You can imagine how disappointed I was to see this memorial fail to pass the House because 24 Republican lawmakers voted against it.
That wasn’t the only disappointment this week. The House considered a resolution to amend the state constitution to say once and for all that the candidate with the most votes wins the election. This would have preempted the Rigged Choice Voting initiative that is still circulating in our state, the initiative whose backers have admitted is all about getting more moderates and leftists elected.
This very same body passed a strong prohibition on Ranked Choice Voting just last year, with every Republican save one supporting the bill. You would think that proposing a constitutional amendment to the voters that says the same thing would be a no brainer, right?
Apparently not. Sixteen Republicans voted against the resolution, causing it to fall short of the two-thirds supermajority necessary to put it on the ballot.
What is going on here? Why are our Republican lawmakers constantly voting with Democrats against common sense conservative legislation?
Remember the Rocky Mountain Heist in Colorado? Well, we’re seeing the Gem State Heist taking place before our very eyes. Too many Republicans are voting with Democrats, pushing our state further and further to the left, while telling their voters that they are traditional conservatives.
The only way to fix this problem is for voters like you to get engaged. Get to know your legislators, figure out their principles, and pay attention to the way they vote. In the end, it’s your decision as to who represents you in Boise, so I hope you will do your due diligence.
It’s not enough to talk the talk, our representatives need to walk the walk. The future of our state, and our country, depends on it.

Dorothy Moon,
We Republicans have ONLY BUT YOU AND YOUR “LEADERSHIP”, better qualified as “DICTATORSHIP”, that caused the inability of 1,000s, if not 10s of thousands of Idaho Republicans unable to cast our vote in the recent SECLUSIONED, nay DILLUSIONED GOP Caucus Vote, myself included.
That the Idaho GOP/Republican party allegedly has a statement of “less government”, yet at the same time requires that a person have “government documentation/proof” of their natural person to engage into the Idaho Republican caucus vote, is utterly absurd, disingenuous, and is tyranny itself.
You should be fully disgustingly ashamed for being the leader of a private entity, Idaho Republican Party, that demands of We the People to declare ourselves, that being our natural selves, only by that of foreign entity documentation.
“Tea Party” Bob, you are also to bear this disgusting shame.
Then, again, what are we to expect when a woman is a leader but nothing less than judgment from God.

Thank you for your comment. Bryan you are sounding more like Joe Biden with every comment you make. I would strongly suggest that you take a strong Colon Cleanse and go on a 10 mile hike to clear your head. Or you might want to start commenting on articles published in the Idaho Statesman. Have a great day Tea Party Bob
CALL TO CIVIC DUTY: Wake up to the fact you’ve been duped into believing that after 235 years of utter election failure there’s still hope to be found for America in the next the Constitutional Republic’s unbiblical election.
With each and every election since the inception of the biblically egregious Constitutional Republic America has only advanced further down her suicidal trek to the precipice, regardless whether a Donkey or Elephant has been elected.
Round and round and round and round again (incessantly) goes the Constitutional Republic’s election merry-go-round, providing both species of Crocodiles (disguised as Donkeys and Elephants) their turn at the helm, to undo whatever was accomplished by the previous administration.
And, people, the only direction it travels is round and round and round and round again (incessantly). It never changes and yet, tragically, every two and four years Americans clamor for their alleged voting rights to elect another nincompoop, scoundrel, incompetent, immoral reprobate, or outright criminal to rule over them.
230-plus years of the Constitutional Republic’s elections has proven that regardless whether a Donkey or an Elephant gets elected, America has only advanced further down her suicidal trek to the precipice.
Time to get off the Constitutional Republic’s biblically egregious election carousel.
God has better plan!
The best the Constitutional Republic’s election system can ever produce is the lesser of two evils. Sometimes the worst of the worst, and always the evil of two lessers.
The Bible’s election system provides the best of the best of two or more biblically qualified candidates, every single time.

~WE HAVE THE DICTATORSHIP WE DESERVE~
Civic apathy, citizens’ failure to unite & embrace their civic & Constitutional obligation to promptly remove public servants who actions & records evidence acts of corruption & treason has placed America in its last days of existence.
For many years I provided the hard legislative corruption & conflict of interest evidence necessary to peacefully & lawfully remove rogue public servants in Idaho.
The goal was to create a statewide Civic Oath Enforcement organization in Idaho, a movement that could easily spread nationwide. Unfortunately all leaders of this forum repeatedly ‘declined’ on basis that this action exceeded their personal comfort zones.
If enforcing peaceful reform is uncomfortable to Americans, our 2nd Amendment Rights are of no value to a nation of cowards..
