The Restore Your Economy program captures the Mom &amp; Pop businesses and sucks them into this federal, global, integrated economic agenda.

If it sounds dramatic just ask one of many Idahoans who are experts in how the economy works.

How it will run, what the workforce will be, how you will be educated for that workforce, what you will earn, with all of this trickling down into monitoring you and what you are doing to comply.<\/p>\n<p>Idahoans, this is the warning leading up to an economic Pearl Harbor. Don&#8217;t wait for that Pearl Harbor moment. Governor Little is doing nothing to protect us, he is a part of it. The time to organize is now, it is time that Idahoans exercise their responsibility for self governance and demand that Idaho is removed from these economic disasters that have been planned for us. Governor Little has allowed the federal government into our state to change our economic system, how much more warning is needed to come together and take action to stop it? We elect representatives to represent us, no representation was allowed in any of these decisions by the Governor. When this economic Pearl Harbor hits, it quite possibly might be too late to ever reverse it. The economy is just one small piece of this whole picture, many other aspects are in play that supports the economic devastation.
