2024 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Hey everybody! If you see a bill that you especially like, please call the sponsor and give him or her your support. Legislators are HUMAN BEINGS! They can feel marooned and overwhelmed by negative feedback, especially if they never hear from people who actually like what they do.
Calling in your praise for your legislators' efforts — even if you didn't vote for them or they're not in your district — can build their confidence, bolster their morale, encourage them to work even harder on your behalf, and lead to some great connections. Pick up the phone! How to find legislators: Read

WHERE ARE THE BUDGET BILLS? By Fred Birnbaum (01/26/24): Idaho has an opportunity to put the brakes on out-of-control spending by considering the "keep the lights on" budgets separately from the "grow the agency" budgets. Now, there's an impasse: Read

The multi-pronged attack will astound you.

Sam Kessler, a geopolitical adviser, anticipates increased foreign influence operations to target the 2024 U.S. presidential election. “The American people also must assume massive election interference from China, Russia, and other adversarial nations with increasing boosts by AI,” he said. “Election interference is a direct threat to our democratic processes and ultimately our freedom.”

IDAHO AFFECTED TOO
“President Biden and his Administration have left Americans and our country completely vulnerable to unprecedented illegal immigration pouring across the Southern border. Instead of upholding the rule of law and securing the border, the Biden Administration has attacked and sued Texas for stepping up to protect American citizens from historic levels of illegal immigrants, deadly drugs like fentanyl, and terrorists entering our country.
“We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border. We do it in part because the Biden Administration is refusing to enforce immigration laws already on the books and is illegally allowing mass parole across America of migrants who entered our country illegally.
“The authors of the U.S. Constitution made clear that in times like this, states have a right of self-defense, under Article 4, Section 4 and Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Because the Biden Administration has abdicated its constitutional compact duties to the states, Texas has every legal justification to protect the sovereignty of our states and our nation.” ~ Republican Governors Joint Statement (01/25/24)
