Defending the Bill of Rights
Dear Friends, The Bill of Rights is a shield to guard the people – individuals – against the power, overreach, and abuse of government itself.

The Right to Revolution
Why do you suppose the First Amendment says, “Congress shall make no law…” while the Second Amendment says, “shall not be infringed”? Clearly, there is a difference in these statements.

In Defense of the Citizen Legislature
The drones have been released by national leftists to attack the integrity of Idaho elections and the character of the Idaho Legislature. Despite spending some $450,000 to hoodwink Idahoans into supporting their agenda of “campaign finance and ethics reform” – the national Soros machine failed to qualify for the ballot. But they have not gone […]
