When we look back at our country’s history even the pledge of Allegiance to our national flag which has been in existence in one form or another since 1892 has been attacked time and again in the courts.

We should all thank Audrey Dutton for her extensive reporting on the Idaho Health Data Exchange as it continues to prove to us the incompetency of Idaho’s Health and Welfare Department.

America at a Turning Point
