Common-sense actions you can take to help save America. We’ll keep updating this list. Find something that appeals to you and JUST DO IT!
Get Involved!
Being complacent or silent will accomplish nothing. People may ridicule, ignore or gaslight you; or — worse! — jail or persecute you (so be careful). And you may fail, but at least you’ve tried and have followed your conscience.
Reignite Freedom / Global Walkout (26 steps)
Build enough momentum to create roadblocks in the globalist agenda. When millions of people worldwide act in unison, we will become an effective force that cannot be ignored.
Ideas:
Run for your county board or state representative.
Get involved in local politics as a volunteer.
Educate yourself on the important issues, especially those you can control.
Work with others who share your values. There’s safety and power in numbers.
Donate to a cause or candidate you truly believe in. Focus locally where your money goes furthest, and you can monitor how it is being used.
Be a poll worker or poll watcher to ensure honest elections.
Defeat election schemes such as open/jungle primaries and ranked choice voting (RCV). Read
CALL, TEXT and WRITE your local, state, and county elected officials about anything that you believe needs their attention and action. There’s so much! Pick something and run with it—our porous border, endless foreign wars, stripping the US treasury of taxpayer dollars, tyranny, domestic surveillance, medical freedom, censorship, fair elections, adherence to the Constitution—so many issues.
When emailing or texting, make the subject line catchy but specific and pithy. If writing from a sample script, adjust the subject line so it will be different from other writers’ subject lines (but still specific and pithy).
If you don’t like the way your neighborhood, town, city, county, state, or nation is working, you have options:
Leave for somewhere better (but research carefully; the grass isn’t always greener somewhere else).
Stay and fix what’s broken.
Do something positive every day to make things better.
Share high-quality, factual information with others (don’t keep all the good stuff to yourself).
Run for office, get elected, and do better.
Support someone else who shares your values and is running.
VOTE smarter (but don’t vote unless you’re well informed).
Stop complaining if you don’t do #1 or #2 above.

Write & Call Elected Officials
When you write to elected officials, expect few responses. When you get them, they typically will be form letters whose contents reveal that NO ONE actually read what you wrote. (We know several people who have written to officials on a specific topic; they’ve received identical replies, indicating someone probably picks from a list of form letters that might apply to a topic and sends that one.) At least you have gone on record with your input and should consider the replies you receive during the next election cycle.
Try composing phone scripts that you use to call legislative offices (often after or before hours to be sure the message is recorded accurately). Then follow up via email with the same content as the phone scripts, but also including links if relevant.
We’ve heard that phone messages (and texts) typically are more impactful — and if enough people place calls, especially in a limited time frame, the calls get attention if only because they are a nuisance. Be sure to customize any scripts we provide; legislators are more likely to heed unique, heartfelt messages.
Meet Officials in Person
Another helpful strategy is to personally meet as many elected officials (or their staff) as possible. Sometimes you have to do it more than once, and it doesn’t have to be in a formal setting — even a post-meeting parking lot chat can be incredibly effective.
Personal connections — meeting people as people and getting to know them — can be super helpful. Of course, that won’t work for officials who are far away, but often they have local staff. The staff are the gatekeepers, so knowing and understanding them could be important too.
Stay Engaged
Volunteer for a candidate you believe in. Door to door campaigning (door knocking and literature drops) is one of the most effective ways to reach voters. Also help with phone banking (calling people), writing letters, or hosting a Meet & Greet in your neighborhood.
Assess what the elected officials actually do vs. what they promised to do. Visit their websites and sign up for their newsletters. Watch what legislation they propose, support, and oppose. Contact them with your concerns as well as your praise.

Big E’s Tips on Bills & Legislators
Writing in favor of and against various bills can educate busy legislators. Please think about the possible consequences of inaction when asked to call or write in support or opposition of a bill.
Voters will decide in the May 21 primaries whether they prefer legislators who serve special interests, or they favor legislators who put the taxpayers first. Before re-electing an incumbent, please consult the one-stop-shopping scorecards at ThinkLibertyIdaho.com!
In general, a high score on Idaho Freedom Foundation or Institute for Legislative Analysis means the legislator generally votes for good general-interest bills while a high score on Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry (IACI) means the legislator generally votes for bad special-interest bills.

Please SUPPORT S1228 - Colleges, concealed weapons.
S1228 replaces section 18-3309, Idaho Code, with a new section 18-3309 that prohibits limitations regarding concealed weapons at public colleges and universities.
Under current law, only those with an enhanced carry permit can carry on a college or university campus. But even they are barred from carrying within a "student dormitory or residence hall" or "within any building of a public entertainment facility."
S1228 would repeal this law and replace it with a straightforward declaration that publicly funded colleges and universities must abide by the same standards as the rest of the state with respect to the individual right to keep and bear arms.
The Constitution must not stop at the student dorms, residents halls, and public entertainment facility. It must apply everywhere.

Please SUPPORT H415 - Concealed weapons, school property.
H415 gives well-trained K-12 public school employees the opportunity to carry concealed weapons, providing armed protection for students, teachers, and staff at their schools. School employees willing to participate in this program must complete an enhanced carry weapon training course.
H415 also requires all public K-12 schools to remove “Gun Free Zone” signs. Such signs highlight a school as a “soft target.” If individuals planning to harm children know they might encounter armed resistance (due to the absence of “Gun Free Zone” signs), such individuals are far less likely to commit the heinous crime of shooting up a school.
We must protect our schools from those who intend to harm students, teachers and staff. One method is to hire full-time armed guards. But armed guards are expensive and not sustainable in most districts. Moreover, armed guards could create an atmosphere of fear within the school. When trusted employees are willing and well-qualified to protect students with concealed firearms, they can better protect students while encouraging a more relaxed and confident learning environment.
H415 straight-forwardly and without much (if any) taxpayer expense provides for defending Idaho’s public schools. VOTE YES on H415!
[Note: A competing and far inferior bill, S1418, claims to be about school security, but is loaded with limiting qualifications. Vote NO on S1418.]

Please SUPPORT H517 - Freedom of religion, speech, action.
H517 provides a private civil action for damages under the Freedom of Speech and Guaranty of Religious Liberty clauses of the Idaho Constitution. It holds government entities accountable for infringing on individual rights, and lays the groundwork for Idaho to develop its own solid case law on these issues, rather than leaving aggrieved individuals dependent on Federal law.
It's sad that we need a separate bill to enshrine statutes that already exist both in Idaho and in the First Amendment of the US Constitution. But here we are, in an age of incredible censorship in America and in Idaho.
Yes, Idaho! In Kellogg, Idaho, for example, a high school student was forbidden from participating in his graduation and lost his summer job for stating a biological fact at a school assembly. Similarly, an off-duty Kellogg High School bus driver who — on his own time — stood up for this student's right to free speech also lost his job. And in Caldwell, Idaho, a school board shut down parents and a state senator for objecting to transgender locker rooms.
All these people should have the right to sue in state court without having to resort to the more expensive federal courts where fewer lawyers can practice. H517 can make this type of justice possible. Please pass this bill, or whatever better version emerges from committee.

Please SUPPORT HJR3 - Elections, highest number of votes (https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/HJR003)
This resolution will prevent any shenanigans like the odious Rank Choice Voting (RCV) / Open Primaries initiative from destroying Idaho's elections forever. HJR3 will ensure “one citizen one vote,” as intended by our Founders, the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment, and previously passed H179 prohibiting ranked choice voting in Idaho.
HJR3 would amend Article VI of the Idaho Constitution, adding a new Section 8 to maintain the current standard for election victory in Idaho: that is, ONE round of voting with the ONE person who receives the highest number of votes WINNING the race.
HJR3 is the ONLY correct and fair way to vote without confusing or disenfranchising voters or becoming forever dependent on hackable voting machines!
I urge you to pass HJR3 immediately so this constitutional amendment can appear on the November 2024 ballot.

VERSION 1
Topic: Please SUPPORT S1252 - Defend the Guard Act
Message:
I encourage you to vote yes on S1252 - Defend the Guard Act
The act would disallow Idaho National Guard troops from being sent into active-duty combat without a Congressional declaration of war.
The purpose of the act is to obligate the federal government to obey the U.S. Constitution before sending our sons and daughters to fight more endless wars. To achieve this objective, states can use their inherent, sovereign authority to
demand that the federal government adhere to congressional wars powers as mandated by Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution. Without an official declaration of war by the U.S. Congress, states have a duty to withhold their troops from active combat.

Message:
Please SUPPORT Senate Bill 1252 - Defend the Guard Act (https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/S1252/)
Idaho National Guard service members must never again be called into active duty combat operations on foreign soil without a congressional declaration of war.
Only Congress -- NOT the federal Executive Branch -- has the power to declare war. The current federal executive branch has exceeded its constitutional authority by calling up state components of the National Guard to warfighting operations without a congressional declaration of war.
S1252 prohibits using the Idaho National Guard for combat actions UNLESS Congress has made a formal declaration of war. This bill is consistent with America's founding principles and provisions as specified in United States Constitution (Article 1, Section 8).
VOTE YES on S1252.
(NOTE: S1252 does not impede the Governor's ability to mobilize the Idaho Guard per article 4, section 4 of the Idaho Constitution, nor does it limit the United States ability to call up the Idaho National Guard for training missions per Title 10, United States Code.)

SAMPLE SCRIPTS: Please customize with your own ideas:
Topic: Vote NO on SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 112 (SCR112 Article V convention)
Message 1 (short):
Dear Senators -
Please vote NO on Senate Concurrent Resolution 112 (SCR112 Article V convention)
The resolution would encourage a Convention of States (COS) US Constitution amendment process.
We don't need to change the US Constitution. It's fine the way it is. What we do need is to compel our government bodies to abide by the Constitution we have.
Additionally, a COS would open the door for powerful, very well funded political groups to erode our Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. In particular, I am sure there would be massive efforts to take away our Second Amendment right to bear arms.
Message 2 (longer):
Dear Senators,
Please Vote NO on SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 112 (SCR112 Article V convention)
Article V of the US Constitution provides for an Constitutional amendment process. However, I oppose invoking Article V with a Convention of States (COS) and constitutional amendments at this time. Here's why:
1. Risk of a runaway convention. Even with initial intentions of limited Constitutional changes, anything can happen once the convention begins. Examples:
-- A delegate might try to gut or remove the 2nd amendment guaranteeing the American right to bear arms.
-- A billionaire might massively fund misinformation or changes that oppose America's founding values.
2. Who would represent Idaho in a COS? Conservatives, Moderates, Liberals? Would each representative stay true to their values or be influenced by money and power?
3. Unlikely that the highly divided country would ratify a constitutional amendment with a 2/3 vote. This effort is a waste of time when more important issues loom.
4. Our constitution is as close to perfect as possible now. A COS risks gutting it.
5. Our government does not follow the Constitution we have, so what makes anyone think an amendment would change this?

Message:
Please Vote NO on HOUSE BILL 468 — RANGELAND IMPROVEMENT ACT
This special-interest (ranchers, not taxpayers) wasteful bill creates a rangeland improvement account and instructs the Idaho Department of Agriculture to seek funding to carry out a wide variety of grazing improvement projects.
While H468 does not directly increase spending (which will be done through a separate appropriations bill), it creates the framework for doing so, and it increases the size, scope, and spending of government.
H468 would allow for the "rangeland improvement account" to be funded with "sales, leases, fees, grants, or appropriations from the state or federal government, and grants from private foundations."
Idaho is already far too dependent on federal funding, and authorizing the state to seek more federal funding will only exacerbate this ongoing dependency. And remember, federal dependency ALWAYS comes with federal strings that make our state weaker.
Idaho does not need another socialist program. Idaho should seek to make government smaller, not larger and it absolutely MUST shed its dependency on federal programs!

The first year would cost $750,000 to establish the new agency.
The agency duties would entail: “Oversight of the following early childhood services… Statutory authorities previously provided to the department of health and welfare pursuant to chapters 11 and 12, title 39, Idaho Code… Leading statewide efforts to improve early childhood services and strengthen the mixed delivery system… Collaboration and coordination with other child-serving agencies, including but not limited to the department of health and welfare/state board of education/state agencies/early childhood advisory council…”
Other collaborations include tribal governments, service providers, families, etc.
This astoundingly bad bill significantly expands the scope of government, creates advertising for more people to become dependent on government programs, co-mingle taxpayer-funded public sector and the private sector for services that should be private sector only, increases government redistribution of wealth, increases government spending for objectional purposes (with $750K earmarked just to establish the agency for the first year with more asks sure to follow), and ties the state to federal programs and rules.
What’s not to like? EVERYTHING!
We don't need this new agency. Let's give Idaho taxpayers a break. Please don't create another expensive, vaguely defined, self-preserving agency.

Please OPPOSE H680 Commission On Aging, Appropriations FY25.
House Bill 680 (HB680) appropriates $18,519,700 and 15 full-time positions to the Commission on Aging for fiscal year 2025.
This bill expands dependency on state and federal government benefits, which ultimately enslaves all citizens. Such dependency is socialism stepping into communism. More specifically, this bill:
Draws down the remaining $1.8 million in funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to support a variety of programs administered through local Area Agencies on Aging services. ARPA funds will expire in 2026, requiring the state general fund to continue programs or cut it off for people who have become dependent on it.
Expands a pilot program to support unpaid caregivers of those suffering from dementia. This unlegislated entitlement program can create ongoing expenses for the state. It sidesteps the authority of representative government and expands the governor’s role in creating new programs like it.
The Aging Commission relies on more than $12.2 million of federal funding to support its programs and operations: two-thirds of the total budget and 55% of its staff. What happens if federal funding dries up?
Requests one new full time financial specialist position to support LUMA, the state’s new “efficiency enhancement and consolidation” financial management system. A permanent new position could be unnecessary if the LUMA workload decreases.

05/21/24 Update: After sending a registered letter to the Idaho AG, we received an encouraging reply from him stating “Our office is very concerned about reports of harm caused by the covid-19 vaccines. We are investigating all our options in this matter. I continue to oppose any mandates, regardless of where they come from. There is much work to be done and I am honored to serve the people of Idaho.“
04/10/24 Update: After multiple letters went unanswered and phone call follow-up provided no action, we called the main AG number once more. A recording referred us to the Consumer Protection number. A Consumer Specialist said we must file a consumer complaint with the Attorney General's office and request a response when filing. We further learned that the AG’s consumer complaint written response would state that the AG's office has no authority to investigate or remove the mRNA gene therapy shots from the Idaho market. Thus, even if you respectfully ask that the AG exercise his consumer protection obligations and STOP THE GENE SHOTS IN IDAHO, his office will state it has no authority. We were told that ONLY THE LEGISLATURE CAN STOP THIS GENE TECHNOLOGY IN IDAHO. We tried during the 2024 legislature to propose and pass a bill, but it died in committee.

Please hear and support S1287 - Health orgs, requirements
The disastrous COVID countermeasures were just a dress rehearsal for what is to come if the WHO Pandemic Treaty and International Health Regulations are adopted in late May 2024 or our US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are allowed to take over our lives again.
Our federal government is all-in on the globalist changes outlined here https://open.substack.com/pub/merylnass/p/the-sovereignty-coalition-door-to. Therefore the State of Idaho MUST resist. If we fail to do this, we will cease to exist as a sovereign state and more poverty, death, and suffering will result. Therefore, I urge you to support S1287, which states:
(1) The World Health Organization (WHO) shall have no jurisdiction in Idaho. No WHO requirements, mandates, recommendations, instructions, or guidance shall be used to justify any public health requirements, including but not limited to mask, vaccine, quarantine, or medical testing requirements.
(2) The state of Idaho is prohibited from implementing or enforcing any requirements or mandates from the United States department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) without an affirmative vote by both bodies of the legislature.
(3) Without an affirmative vote by both bodies of the Idaho legislature, the Idaho department of health and welfare (IDHW) is prohibited from:
(a) Issuing or enforcing requirements or mandates on behalf of the WHO, HHS, and CDC;
(b) Issuing or enforcing requirements or mandates that are similar or identical to requirements or mandates from the above named organizations; and

Please HEAR and VOTE YES on H493 Mask mandates, prohibition (https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/H0493/). Idaho must never again mandate masks for its citizens. Masks have long been proven ineffective, unnecessary, and harmful (physically, socially, and psychologically) to the wearer.
Public officials DID know "the science" when the COVID pandemic was declared and afterwards; they simply chose to ignore that science and defer to edicts from CDC and other agencies. Until he flipped his position for political reasons, even former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci initially declared -- accurately -- that masks would be useless against a respiratory infection like COVID-19 or flu.
Legitimate, unbiased, and properly conducted scientific studies OVER DECADES have shown that masks -- including surgical masks, cotton masks, N-95 masks and face shields -- do little or nothing to protect against respiratory infections. Even under the best of circumstances, masks are rarely fitted or worn correctly, rendering them completely ineffective. Masks, especially worn for hours at a time and reused, cause harm in many ways:- harbor pathogenic bacteria, funguses, and viruses that can make the wearer sick;
- contain dangerous materials such as microplastics and fibers that can harm the wearer's lungs; are dehumanizing;
- cause psychological harm to adults and children;
- make communication difficult especially for those with hearing issues;
- cause speech impediments among young children who must use lip-reading to learn to speak properly;
- make breathing difficult for most; deprive the brain of oxygen (causing headaches and possible brain damage);
- violate religious liberty and individual choice;
- make identifying bank robbers, shop lifters, and other criminals difficult; and more.

03/07/24 update: House Bill 653 was abruptly removed from the House Business Committee agenda. Thank you to those who wrote and to the Idaho Freedom Caucus for being ready to oppose it! Details
SAMPLE SCRIPT: Please customize with your own ideas (02/29/24):
Topic: VOTE NO ON House Bill 653 Pesticides, warning labels
Message: VOTE NO ON House Bill 653 Pesticides, warning labels: https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/H0653/
H653 is a resubmission of failed Senate S1245. This murkily written bill would exempt pesticide producers from liability under any "provision or doctrine of state law, including without limitation state tort law or relevant common law" as long as they were in compliance with federal EPA regulations.
This bad bill will benefit agricultural-pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer/Monsanto/P4 and recipients of their financial support — who are sure to love release from any product liability — just as vaccine manufacturers have enjoyed for decades, with devastating results and no financial compensation for harms.
S1245 was strongly opposed by Idaho Freedom Foundation, Health Freedom Idaho, Sen. Brian Lenney, two others on the Senate Commerce & Human Resources Committee, and anyone else who understands that federal and state agencies have been fully captured by the power and money of corporate interests.
We can no longer believe "safe and effective," "trust the science," and "thoroughly tested" mantras from FDA, EPA, CDC, and other federal bureaucracies that have absolutely terrible track records. After all, these captured agencies approved Monsanto's Roundup and Dicamba pesticides. Dicamba lost its 2017 approval recently. Roundup has long been under fire and fined for its dangerous ingredient glyphosate. The evidence against Monsanto's pesticides becomes apparent after REAL science (not EPA science) has proven their dangers time and time again. Are we really going to trust the word of the three-letter agencies and their corporate partners Bayer/Monsanto/P4 with our health and the health of our farmers, plants, animals, soils, air, and waterways?
Idaho should NEVER again subordinate its state laws to federal agencies. When states abdicate their power to federal agencies, they give up their sovereignty and sell out their citizens. Idaho needs to think, speak, and legislate for itself!
Farmers can find safe alternative pesticides with honest labels. Please, kill this terrible bill before it hurts or kills citizens who will have no financial recourse or liability from the manufacturers for any injuries or deaths their products cause.

🆕NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL HEALTH & FREEDOM
🆕☑️SUPPORT H.R.7551 “Let Injured Americans Be Legally Empowered” LIABLE ACT
Currently, Americans cannot sue a manufacturer or health provider for injuries or death caused by a COVID product. Why? Because federal laws, namely the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986 and the PREP Act, don’t allow it. The proposed “Let Injured Americans Be Legally Empowered” LIABLE Act would allow Americans who have been harmed by a COVID product to sue in court and get proper compensation for injuries and death.
Use the Stand for Health Freedom (SHF) petition tell your elected official to sign on to the bill!
Or, use the modified script below to contact your US House representative.
SAMPLE SCRIPT: Please customize with your own ideas (03/24/24):
Top Section (SHF petition):
Some of my own family members and friends have been killed or injured by COVID shots. Some don't even know what happened to them, but even if they did, THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT because these dangerous products, manufacturers, and administrators are immune from liability. THIS IS WRONG!
The LIABLE Act is a good start, and I urge you to support it.
***
NOTE: the ultimate solution is to REMOVE LIABILITY EXEMPTIONS for all "vaccine" shots, the same as other drugs, and to NEVER AGAIN MANDATE medical procedures of any kind.
***
Bottom Section (SHF petition):
Please co-sponsor and support the “Let Injured Americans Be Legally Empowered Act” (LIABLE) Act. The LIABLE Act will restore states’ rights to protect health and allow injury claims for harmed citizens.
Currently, Americans cannot sue a manufacturer or health provider if they or a family member are injured or killed by a COVID product. Why? Because of the 1986 Act and the PREP Act, which gave rise to the VICP and the CICP, respectively. COVID products wouldn’t even exist if manufacturers could be sued for harm.
The LIABLE Act, HR7551, would enable Americans who have been harmed by a COVID product to sue and obtain proper compensation for injuries and death.
As of March 2024, more than 1 million claims of injury and death from COVID products have been reported, with three years of COVID shots racking up as many VAERS reports as all other vaccines combined since 1988.
While the CDC continues to recommend COVID shots for our children, many countries, including Britain, France, Japan, Australia, and India, no longer recommend them for healthy children.
Nineteen original co-sponsors strongly supported the LIABLE Act. Your support will tell your constituents you will stand up for them and will lend momentum to a continuing fight in upcoming congressional sessions.
Please hold the line for Americans as our constitutional rights are continually being eroded in the name of declared emergencies. We are in our final stand for freedom -- especially given the looming May 2024 WHO Pandemic Treaty and International Health Regulations that are poised to kill our freedoms (and many of us) forever.
👎☑️ OPPOSE H.R.3832 - Disease X Act of 2023
CALL AND EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES IN THE US HOUSE (01/18/24). Ask them to OPPOSE H.R.3832 - Disease X Act of 2023. This bill expands the priorities of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) to specifically include viral threats that have the potential to cause a pandemic. It expands the scope of innovation grants and contracts that may be awarded by BARDA to specifically include those that support research and development of certain manufacturing technology for medical countermeasures against viruses, including respiratory viruses, with pandemic potential. It also expands BARDA's authorized strategic initiatives to include advanced research, development, and procurement of countermeasures and products to address viruses with pandemic potential. This expansion is unnecessary and dangerous: This type of research and countermeasure development led us to the global Covid disaster and is a backdoor to gain of function research and countermeasures.

Exit UN WHO bill. Support H.R. 6645 and S. 3428
Please support, co-sponsor and rapidly enact H.R. 6645 and S. 3428, the “Disengaging Entirely From the United Nations Debacle” Act.
The United States must fully disengage from the United Nations (UN) and World Health Organization (WHO), and all related bodies and obligations (including the International Health Regulations). By enacting H.R. 6645 and S. 3428 NOW, Congress can restore our national independence and safeguard our personal freedoms.
The future of the US depends, quite literally, on a complete withdrawal from all of these organizations and their dangerous side effects.
The risks of continued membership -- including an unprecedented assault on our national sovereignty, our personal freedoms, and our Constitution -- far outweigh any benefits.
Example: While the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights grants rights that can be cancelled, the US Constitution recognizes unalienable rights which legally cannot be cancelled.
Please work vigorously with all members of the US Congress to enact H.R. 6645 and S. 3428. Withdraw now from the United Nations, World Health Organization and all other related globalist organizations and obligations. Thank you!

PROTECT YOUR VOTE
☑️ 🆕 SUPPORT HR8281: To amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require proof of United States citizenship to register an individual to vote in elections for Federal office, and for other purposes.
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act proposes that anyone registering to vote in U.S. elections must first provide proof of citizenship. This would AMEND the 1993 Voter Registration Act, which mandates people fill out a form swearing they are U.S. citizens but does not require documentation.
The SAVE Act would:
Require potential voters to prove ‘documentary proof of United States citizenship’ (see bill text for details)
Require states to implement a process to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls.
Increase federal penalties for those who register non-citizens to vote in federal elections.
Establish acceptable ways for individuals to prove their citizenship and require states to establish their own processes of demonstrating citizenship when a person does not have legal documentation.

Please SUPPORT Idaho H615 - Public benefits, lawful presence: No taxpayer welfare for illegal immigrants
This bill died in the House Health & Welfare committee in a 7-5 vote and was drawered. I urge the committee to get it out and take another look. Then pass H615, which explicitly prevents public welfare benefits from reaching illegal immigrants.
No taxpayer-funded assistance should flow to illegal immigrants who have broken our laws. If you cut off free access to money, housing, education, and medical care, people are less likely to come to Idaho illegally.
I'm a compassionate person -- truly -- but our laws must be enforced AND our taxpayers must be respected.
Key points:
Transparency: We need a clear and transparent system that ensures public welfare programs are accessible ONLY to legal residents and citizens who truly need them and who contribute positively to our state.
Incentives: We must discourage illegal entry and incentivize LEGAL immigration by preventing illegal immigrants from accessing welfare benefits.
Safety: Illegal immigration threatens Idaho safety. Drugs, human trafficking, terrorism, and many other crimes are associated with illegal immigration. Ending the welfare incentives starts to solve the problem.
Fairness: Idahoans work hard to provide for their families. Our safety nets must be reserved ONLY for those who follow our laws and contribute positively to our communities.'
As legislators, you must prioritize Idaho's citizens, reward responsibility, and encourage only LEGAL residents.

While this softball memorial does ask that the United States President, Senate and House of Representatives take action to secure the border and stop illegal immigration, its emphasis on cheap labor and “targeted immigration reform” aims mainly to benefit big business in Idaho. The word “labor” is mentioned six times in this memorial! The thirst for cheap immigrant labor enables human trafficking and drugs that kill tens of thousands of Americans every year and thwarts the ability of American citizens to work for a living wage.
Illegal immigration should have NO exceptions, NO carve-outs for cheap labor, and NO funding from federal or state governments. Every action taken by federal and state government must adhere to the US Constitution and existing federal immigration law. The emphasis of this memorial on “labor needs” does not meet this standard.

This joint memorial calls for enforcing immigration law before funding any wars or processing immigrants, impeaching President Joseph Biden for the high crime of willfully failing to enforce immigration law, and not letting the thirst for cheap immigrant labor in Idaho enable human trafficking and drugs that kill tens of thousands of Americans every year.
We must stop the lawless, treasonous support of illegal immigration from Big Ag and all employers in Idaho. Cheap illegal migrant labor is slavery, just as it was in the early days of America.
We must immediately arrest and deport anyone who crosses or is bussed or flown into Idaho. Moreover, no local, state, or federal money must be spent to feed, clothe, or house illegal immigrants or to provide anything more than short-term medical care for them.
Controlled legal immigration, yes. But illegal immigration must STOP NOW. Illegal immigration is destroying our state, our country, and our American way of life.

The Biden administration and federal authorities are responsible for all that has happened as the result of an open border. Unfortunately, there’s no help coming from them, so Idaho must take matters into its own hands.

Please SUPPORT H421 - Sex, gender, definitions, rules
This important bill clarifies once and for all the meaning of male and female, definitions with far-reaching but completely commonsense implications. Here's the science:
Both males and females have X chromosomes. When the Y chromosome is present as well, a male (boy/man) results. If no Y chromosome is present, a female (girl/woman) results. Essentially, the basic equation is as follows:
Male: XY
Female: XX (or, occasionally, XO).
There are a few subtleties but primary sex determination is strictly chromosomal and is not usually influenced by the environment. The female is XX (or XO in unusual cases) and the male is XY.
Every person has at least one X chromosome. If an egg receives an X chromosome from the sperm, the resulting individual is XX, forms ovaries, and is female; if the egg receives a Y chromosome from the sperm, the individual is XY, forms testes, and is male.
The Y chromosome determines sex in mammals. A person with five X chromosomes and one Y chromosome (XXXXXY) is still a male. A person with only one X chromosome and no second X or Y (i.e., XO) develops as a female and begins making ovaries, although the ovarian follicles cannot be maintained. For a complete ovary, a second X chromosome is needed.

Please OPPOSE S1380 — Health, social services ombudsman.
I have seen firsthand cases in which Idaho Department Health & Welfare (IDHW aka CPS), judges, hospitals, and others without accountability have utterly destroyed lives by taking children with little recourse for families.
While an "independent" ombudsmen might seem like a good solution at first glance, such ombudsmen — especially if unaccountable to the legislature or to the people, or who have a large taxpayer funded budget — can quickly become corrupted and tyrannical. Not only can — WILL.
S1380 is the wrong answer to a problem that can be best solved by removing the power (and the funding) from government agencies like IDHW.
Here are just a few reasons why I don't like S1380:
* S1380 grows the executive branch by creating a new self governing agency with an ombudsman appointed by the governor. Governor appointees usually get little vetting.
* Initially staffed with 3 full-time positions, this office is sure to grow in size and cost, creating yet another burden on taxpayers.
* The bill would give an ombudsman "sole discretion" to decide which complaints are sufficiently "meritorious" to warrant review. This resembles the so-called vaccine injury courts which have proven completely useless and unhelpful to vaccine injured citizens.
* The ombudsman will operate independently of the legislature, the courts, the H&W Dept and any other state agency or department. NO! Every taxpayer funded employee must be accountable.
* The ombudsman is protected from redress by the citizens of Idaho. "...an individual who willfully interferes with or impedes the ombudsman in the performance of their duties will face a fine of up to $1,000 and up to 6 months in jail." This provision can and probably will be used to impede our first amendment rights.
* The ombudsman operates in secrecy with little accountability and transparency, and will be protected from public records requests.
* Access to records by any person, department, agency, or commission authorized to carry out the duties is unfettered. Invasion of privacy!

Please Vote NO on HOUSE BILL 595 — OUTCOMES-BASED FUNDING
H595 provides more funding based on certain criteria for student performance in math and college and CTE course participation.
This complicated bill would positively impact school performance ONLY if it changed the distribution of existing funds. But if it distributes new, additional funding for the system, the state would be rewarding schools for doing the job they should have been doing in the first place. The bill isn't clear about whether the funding is from existing or new sources. If from new sources, it is simply a way to dump more funds into a failing system.
While this bill creates some accountability for students in grades 5-8, it loses such accountability for high school funding. Moreover, this bill is not transparent about the ongoing costs (initially starts at $40M, but no cap is specified) and it allows for too much discretionary spending.
Idaho does not need another socialist program for education. It should fix what's broken and already more than generously funded.
Throwing good money at more bad education programs is the WRONG answer on any test. Do not pass H595.

SJR105 amends the Idaho Constitution, granting the right of custodial parents and guardians to privately educate or to privately home educate their children free from government regulation.
This bill clearly states that parents and guardians who privately home educate their children shall be free from government regulation and shall not be entitled to public funds to support such education. Thus, home schooling parents and guardians can reject public funds and regulation in order to educate their kids as they see fit.
Note: Families may choose other education options that are funded by public money, but by doing so they are no longer free from the government regulations which follow that money.
While these rights already exist in Idaho Code, SJR105 preserves those rights for future generations via a constitutional amendment.
Thank you for standing for parents and children’s rights in Idaho.

Please SUPPORT S1274 - Diversity statements, prohibition.
Martin Luther King famously said "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is the antithesis of Mr. King's noble statement. DEI is the enemy of merit. Moreover, it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution's 14th Amendment, which states "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.".
S1274 ensures that Idaho's state policy for hiring and admissions decisions must be based on merit, not on race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry or sexual orientation.
It also guarantees that hiring and admissions decisions made by state agencies, including public colleges and universities, are not "conditioned on a requirement that applicants submit or ascribe to a diversity statement."
DEI policies have been spreading throughout business and government institutions for years, including in Idaho. While their descriptions may sound benevolent, these policies actually enshrine discriminatory hiring, promotion, and admissions practices. If you are not in the favored group, you are discriminated against for no good reason.
DEI policies have continued to produce bad -- and very expensive -- results, including these recent examples:
* Blackrock and Vanguard have seen the correlation between high ESG scores (ESG is a subset of DEI) and low investment returns. Hence, they are backing off their ESG policies.
* United Airlines, which brags about its strong DEI policies suffered three Boeing incidents in a week.
* Similarly, a door blew out of a plane on Alaska Airlines, another company heavily invested in DEI.
No, correlation does not equal causation, but you've go to wonder whether merit-based hiring could have averted these issues.
America has long and painful experience with effects of discriminatory policies (think slavery!). DEI is just a repackaged version of discrimination.
Let's bring MERIT back to aMERITca! DEI must DIE. Please pass S1274.

Topic: Please SUPPORT H668 - No public funds, gender transition
Message:
Please VOTE YES on H668, which prohibits using public funds for gender transition.
H668 blocks taxpayer money and resources from being used to provide transgender medical treatment or surgery (exempted surgical operations or medical interventions are specified in the bill).
Transgender treatments and surgeries can cause irreversible lifelong harm to the recipients and their families. Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for such treatments and surgeries.
Additional Points:
— Taxpayers should not have to pay for elective surgeries.
— Taxpayers should not subsidize profit centers performing gender transitions.
— Sexual dysphoria (a profound state of unease or dissatisfaction) is a mental condition that the vast majority of sufferers overcome on their own or with counseling.
— Gender transition procedures result in lifelong dependency on drugs and often expensive surgical repairs due to failed operations and infections.
— Many who undergo gender transitions later attempt to reverse or “detransition” such changes, with varying results.
— Some detransitioners are now suing their medical practitioners for misleading them into unnecessary, harmful procedures. Will they also sue the state that paid for their gender surgeries and transitions, thereby adding to taxpayer costs?
— In the 1940s-1950s, lobotomies — a now discredited form of surgical treatment for psychiatric or neurological disorders — proved devastating for individuals and their families. Lobotomies eventually were banned in many countries and U.S. States. Gender transition treatments likely will end up discredited and banned in the same way once their harms are widely recognized.

Please HEAR & SUPPORT S1357 - Prohibits diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) positions, diversity training, and political loyalty tests in higher education (https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/S1357)
DEI bureaucracies discriminate based on a person’s race, ethnicity, sex, creed, color, religion, or economic class. This violates the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, which guarantees the right to equal protection under the law for all. Prohibiting colleges and universities from establishing and operating these discriminatory institutions preserves this constitutional right.
S1357 would abolish DEI offices at Idaho’s four public universities by prohibiting the use of funds to support such offices or employees. America’s colleges and universities -- including those in Idaho -- have been advancing DEI initiatives for decades. Idaho’s higher education system has spent more than $4.4 million on DEI offices, personnel, and programs, even doubling down after the Legislature cut budgets and imposed restrictions on DEI.
This bill will:
Reduce or eliminate layers of bureaucracy;
Protect free speech and academic freedom;
Increase transparency and accountability;
Reinforce equal treatment under the law, merit, individual responsibility, personal agency, and expectations of academic excellence, and
Save taxpayer money.
DEI is a failed Marxist philosophy dressed up in pretty words and it must stop, especially in public institutions that are controlling the minds and hearts of a generation that will become our future voters, legislators, professionals, and bosses.
DEI has been disastrous to quality results everywhere it has been implemented. Many states, corporations, educational, and financial institutions are finally realizing how destructive DEI has been and are backing off. Idaho must as well.
Without real, permanent policy solutions, DEI will continue to destroy higher education in Idaho. S1357 is a step in the right direction. Please HEAR IT & PASS it.

Message:
PLEASE OPPOSE H498 Online Child Safety Act
H498 would require websites whose content is deemed "harmful to minors" to perform age verification on users. Business entities that "knowingly and intentionally" publish material on the internet fall under the bill's definition of "harmful to minors."
Any publisher who owns, controls, or operates a website where more than one-third of the content is considered "harmful to minors" must "perform reasonable age verification methods to verify the age of individuals attempting to access the material" and prevent minors from accessing the material. Steep fines and legal expenses could ensue.
Despite incredibly good intentions, this bill essentially is the nanny state stepping in where parents must take control. Also note that third-party filters are already available for weeding out harmful content. The government should not be stepping into this parent-responsibility arena.
The unintended side effects of this bill are many. Content analysis will be nearly impossible, online surveillance will expand, individual privacy will be eliminated, and unreasonable legal costs and penalties could put legitimate content creators and owners out of business.
— How will 1/3 be measured? Total number of files? Size of files? Movies and images? Measuring such things is inexact and puts a huge burden on publishers, legitimate or not.
— How will user comments and posts be counted (sometimes many are posted)? Do they count toward the 1/3 measurement? This provision chills free speech because many content providers simply will shut down comments to avoid having to analyze them.
— How do you accurately categorize content? For example, would Michaelangelo’s (naked) masterpiece “David” be considered harmful to minors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_(Michelangelo)?
— How do you prevent misuse of and secure the digital age verification system, which would require everyone to provide a "digitized identification card," "government-issued identification," and/or "public or private transactional data." This verification system would be costly and difficult to implement. Also, this bill could exacerbate the tremendous problem of online surveillance and invasion of privacy.
— The bill imposes onerous legal expenses even if a website owner is NOT found guilty. Many legitimate website owners and content creators would be forced to implement incredibly costly systems and could be subject to frivolous lawsuits.

🔥📖🏫 PLEASE SIGN H710a - Libraries, prohibited materials.
This bill requires public schools and community libraries to take reasonable steps in restricting children's access to obscene or harmful material. A parent or guardian of a minor child who accesses such material in violation of this policy would be entitled to bring a civil action against the school or library for damages and injunctive relief.
The bill provides an “out” to civil liability if the institution has reasonable cause to believe the minor was over 18 years or the minor misrepresented his/her age.
Public libraries and schools SHOULD NOT have carve-outs from Idaho's pornography laws. If a book, video, public display would be illegal (or immoral) when sold at Wal-Mart, exhibited in a bar, or presented in a school board or other public meeting or testimony, then it simply should not be allowed in a school or public library. The same rules and penalties should apply.
That said, this bill presents a reasonable compromise that anyone who cares about kids can stand behind.

Please SUPPORT H545 - Rent, regulation, prohibition.
H545 would expand the existing prohibition against local rent-control ordinances by protecting property owners from being forced -- i.e. mandated -- to participate in any federal housing assistance program (such as Section 8).
Landlords should not be forced to accept federal programs such as section 8 housing vouchers and government should be limited from determining or setting rates for rental fees/deposit amounts.
Specifically, the bill states that no local governmental unit should be allowed to enact, maintain, or enforce an ordinance or a resolution that forces a property owner's participation in an optional federal housing assistance program or regulates rent, fees, or deposits charged for leasing private residential property.
Private property owners should be free to set their own rental rates. If rates are too high, no one will rent and the property owner will naturally lower the rates.
Vote YES on H545!

This excellent bill (an improved version of H585) protects the right to mine, store and transfer digital assets. It’s many good points include:
Prevents state and local governments from creating undue or discriminatory regulations that would effectively prohibit Bitcoin mining businesses or home-based mining operations.
Prevents state or local governments from imposing special taxes or collections for the use of Bitcoin as a method of payment.
Preserves the constitutional and natural right to own private property and to not be subject to governmental illegal surveillance, search, seizure.
Addresses power company objections.
