  • WORKPLACES MANDATING UNAPPROVED ABORTION TAINTED COVID-19 VACCINES

    Workplaces have begun the roll-out of mandated vaccines, even before the FDA approval. Could employees request a religious exemption due to the fact that all COVID 19 vaccines were developed, produced and/or tested from aborted fetal cell lines? Is an exemption necessary since it’s illegal to mandate a vaccine prior to FDA approval? What about when the vaccines ARE approved?

    IT WAS OBVIOUS VACCINE MANDATES WHY DIDN’T THE LEGISLATURE PROTECT THE CITIZENS?

    During the 2021 Session, HFI supported the civil rights bill House Bill 140 MEDICAL CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT – which added to existing law to prohibit discrimination against certain persons on the basis of their vaccination status and to prohibit state contracts with companies that engage in such discrimination. After it overwhelmingly passed the House, Senator Jim Patrick was instructed by Blue Cross of Idaho and IACI to deny the bill a public hearing in the Senate Commerce Committee. The will of the people to secure our liberty and bodily autonomy was crushed by one bought man’s actions.
    Senators on the Commerce committee argued and argued for the bill to be brought out and publicly debated. Chairman Patrick refused.
    Jim Patrick, the injuries and possible deaths that may occur in the hospital employee population is the blood that will partially be on your hands. You failed Idaho with your cowardice and your love of power and money.

    Senator Patrick did not protect our healthcare workers when he had the opportunity.

    CALL TO ACTION: SENATOR PATRICK refused to allow a hearing for people’s bill (H140) The Medical Consumer Protection Act because of his connections to Pharma and the insurance industry. The ramifications to people’s livelihoods and healthcare are partially on his hands. Please let him know how the jab requirements will affect you, your family, your health, and your livelihood.

    YES, THE COVID-19 VACCINES UTILIZE ABORTED FETAL MATERIAL.

    Coronavirus vaccines developed in the States and globally were made from the cell lines of aborted children — healthy children who were murdered. Most notably, this includes a fetal cell line called HEK-293, from the kidney of a healthy girl aborted in 1972, and PER.C6, from the retina of a healthy boy aborted in 1985.
    As a Christian, Can I Take a Vaccine Made from Aborted Babies? This moral dilemma is answered by John Piper founder and teacher of DesiringGod.org and chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary.

    While the issue of aborted fetal cell line use in vaccine production is now widely discussed, there are few places that document each of these cell lines and the abortions performed to develop them from primary and official sources.

    As of 16 May 2020, using mostly primary sources available on the internet, NODECEPTION.ORG documented that at least 181 abortions have been performed to develop fetal cell lines for the manufacturing of a variety of our vaccines, including the Covid-19 vaccines currently being used and those in development. Details on all the cell lines are documented here.

    SoundChoice.org produced an accurate chart reflecting the COVID vaccines likely to be used in the U.S. that utilized aborted fetal material.

    IDAHO STATUTE PROTECTS HEALTHCARE WORKERS FROM DISCRIMINATION.

    LEGISLATURE.IDAHO.GOV Section 18-611 FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS

    MY JOB IS REQUIRING THE VACCINE! NOW WHAT?

    Visit HealthFreedomDefense.org, a plethora of Resources can be found there. Most people don’t understand that the masks that are being used, the tests that are being forced on people, and the vaccines are being forced on people. We knew this was coming.

    “What people don’t understand is that every single one of those products was issued under something called an Emergency Use Authorization. It is a Federal Code under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which grants the Secretary of Health and Human Services the authority to grant the EUAs. The EUA statute specifically says, “Individuals to whom the product is administered are informed that the Secretary has authorized the EUA. They must be informed of the known and potential benefits and risks of such use and of the extent to which such benefits and risks are unknown. Most importantly, of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product.”
    – Interview with Leslie Manookian, Health Freedom Defense

    DOES THE SUPREMECY CLAUSE PROVIDE PROTECTION?

    It’s Federal Law Title 21 section 360bbb-3. In the constitution is the Supremacy Clause. What the Supremacy Clause means is that no city, state, county, or whatever can implement a law, ordinance, or anything else that conflicts with the Federal Law. The Federal Law preempts local law. We have it right there in black and white that these products, all of them, are issued under Emergency Use Authorization and that we’re required to be informed of the problems with them, known and unknown, and also informed of the right to refuse. What people can do is they can download those forms, whether it’s a mask, a test or the vaccine, and provide the notice.
    There are two things on there. There’s an FAQ for the masks, tests, and vaccines. There’s a notice to employers for each of those. My law firm is sending those letters to employers.

    In other words, are you implying that mandating the vaccine is illegal?
    A workplace can’t say, “You must be vaccinated to work here.”
    “I’m not implying it. We are going to be litigating it.”

    Interview with Leslie Manookian

    Leslie: “What I’m encouraging people to do is to download those forms, print them, or email them to their employers if they’re being threatened and say, “This is Federal Law and you can’t do this.” Health Freedom Defense is trying to develop a network of lawyers to whom we can refer people who understand the law and can fight on their behalf.”

    Leslie Manookian established the Health Freedom Defense Fund (HFDF) to ameliorate health injustice through education and advocacy. Health Freedom Defense aids families and individuals whose health rights have been infringed and supports legal challenges to unjust laws that undermine our health and freedoms. Of primary concern to HFDF is challenging a mandatory COVID vaccine.

    WITH KNOWN RISKS, SHOULDN’T THERE BE A CHOICE?

    Researchers around the world are voicing their concerns about the potential immediate and long-term side-effects of these rushed vaccines, including the possibility of infertility in females.

    Everyone needs to be personally responsible for their own health and should research the COVID-19 vaccines in development carefully before making a decision whether or not to vaccinate without coercion by employers.

  • Facebook Purges HFI from Platform. Find Us Here!

    Health Freedom Idaho is dedicated to relentlessly sharing information vital for people to have informed consent, protect personal medical information, and assist parents in asserting their parental rights. We aren’t afraid of sharing the truth, even when it goes against the narrative.

    Recently Facebook has flagged posts as old as 5 years ago that accurately listed vaccine ingredients, revealed CDC statistics and medical journal reports that contradict the narrative. Facebook says people don’t ‘feel safe’ with the information shared on Health Freedom Idaho’s Page. Valentine’s day HFI disappeared after 5 years and 17,000 followers.

    We are not surprised and in fact, wondered by ‘it took so long’. We are grateful that other social media platforms are standing for freedom of information.

    We have the website you are reading now, as well as a backup site (coming soon) so that truth can be shared.

  • H 140 Civil Rights Protection Against Workplace Vaccine Discrimination

    House Bill 140 MEDICAL CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT – Adds to existing law to prohibit discrimination against certain persons on the basis of their vaccination status and to prohibit state contracts with companies that engage in such discrimination.

    In 2021, this is an important bill to protect bodily autonomy and privacy rights. Contact the Chairman of House Commerce and Human Resources to hear the ‘Medical Consumer Protection Act,’.

    This bill will not get a hearing and will die if the people do not get loud about how crucial this is.”

    H 140 is fundamentally a Civil Rights Bill protecting employees’ rights to conscience. H 140 is a bipartisan bill that deserves the support of all legislators and Idahoans, regardless of party or religious affiliation.

    DENIED EMPLOYMENT? FIRED? DIDN’T CONSIDER A JOB DUE TO VACCINE MANDATES FOR THE WORKPLACE?
    THIS BILL IS FOR YOU!

    House Bill 140 It prohibits an employer, who is contracted with the state from discriminating against an employee or an applicant based on their immunization status. 

    If you have been fired, not hired, quit a job, been harassed/coerced or chose not to apply for or accept a job because of your vaccination status, share your story with committee members and your legislators. If you are concerned that the profession you are currently in may start mandating vaccines as a requirement for you to keep your job, share your concern.

  • Keep Our State Sovereignty NO on SJR101 and S1017

    SJR101 and S1017 grants authority to an unelected federal alphabet soup bureaucracy over drug policy in the state. “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

    At least one Republican Senator, Christy Zito (Hammett), spoke against the measure. Zito said that the legislature can’t legislate temperance and morality but said she is personally against using recreational drugs.

    Zito went on to say,

    I just think that as we approach this, we need to be careful that we honor the choice of the individual, that we are careful not to combine policy with [the] constitution.

    Senator Christy Zito

    Sen. C. Scott Grow (R-Eagle) the bill’s sponsor said the measure was necessary to protect Idaho’s families. Grow listed off a number of reasons he is bringing the proposal forward.

    This proposes an amendment to the Idaho Constitution prohibiting the production, manufacture, transportation, sale, delivery, dispensing, distribution, possession, or use of certain psychoactive drugs. 

    Grow listed as one of the reasons,

    This amendment will allow Idahoans to choose for themselves whether they want to live in a drug-free state, free from drug culture, or not.

    Senator C. Scott Grow

    Grow continued with seven total reasons and said that burdens and risks to law enforcement. Grow addressed a number of questions in his opening statement, including saying that having the FDA listed in the amendment is not a concern.

    Grow also said that CBD oil would not be illegal under SJR 101 citing several attorneys he had spoken to. (read more here: Idaho Dispatch )

    CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

    Keep in mind that this is a constitutional amendment so the legislature is voting whether or not to add this to the ballot for voters.

    What they don’t tell you is that the explanation of the issue on the ballot is essentially a commercial for the way they want you to vote. You would think that the information on the ballot would weigh out the pros and cons in such a way that the people, (with a pencil in hand) could make an educated vote, but it doesn’t.

    This is how we got stuck with Medicaid expansion that ID cannot afford. Why would we change our Constitution to say psychoactive drugs are never allowed in ID unless the FDA says so?

    Shouldn’t Idahoans have the opportunity to consider what is best for our great state?

    What this amendment says is if the FDA says they want to have a “documented clinical investigation” using psychoactive drugs (Page 2 lines 9 & 10) on Idahoans, that’s ok.

    But, if someone fighting cancer needs to use it medicinally that’s not ok?!? 😕 If passed, the amendment would effectively and permanently close the door for marijuana legalization via citizen’s ballot initiative.

    Absolute waste of time, money, and resources. We should be focusing on keeping this state free instead of fueling the pockets of big pharma and changing the constitution to make something “more” illegal than it already is. You are punishing veterans and others who need medical marijuana and any other medications in the future to combat continuing pain.

    Facebook Comment against SJR101

    We need to keep the federal government from dictating what is good for Idahoans! Let’s keep Idaho sovereign.

    SJR101 will be headed to the House State Affairs Committee. and then to the HOUSE FLOOR.

  • Learn the 3 Steps to Effective Activism

    Activism is most effective when it includes persistent, committed efforts by knowledgeable engaged citizens. Most people have a very specific vision of what it means to be an activist. They may envision protests, sit-ins, or demonstrations. This “old school” version of activism is being transformed and enhanced by technology, globalization, and the ever-increasing accessibility of information.
    Were you an activist in your former state? While our states have similar structures each state has its own unique legislative environment and likely requires a different approach to affect change. Understanding the processes and procedures will help you become effective in protecting your liberty.

  • 2021 Senate EMAIL List

    During Legislative Sessions Only (approximately January – March) these E-mail addresses will give you access to the senators. *Keep in mind most don’t check these email accounts outside of session. If you know your district you can find their complete contact information at the Idaho Legislature Website here. If you don’t know your district you can look that up by address here.

    When they are voting on a bill of importance it’s critical that you send your correspondence to ALL the legislators. Sometimes you will only be communicating with those on a specific committee that is voting upon a bill. (Find Health Committee email lists here). Other times you will want to communicate with your personal representatives to let them know how you want them to represent you simply look up your district and find your 2 representatives and 1 senator.

    SUBJECT LINE – EASY TO IDENTIFY TOPIC/BILL
    Your subject line should reflect the bill number and your preferred vote (Vote Yes or Vote No). At the very least they will be able to track the correspondence of citizens in favor or opposed to the legislation.

    BODY OF THE EMAIL – EASY TO READ
    Use bullet points to summarize your reasons. Make it easy for them to scan the main points. If the bill has a direct impact on your family and community make those points concisely.

    Try to avoid having attachments to your email these tend to get filtered out and put in the spam folder. If you have hard copies that need to be seen by the legislator those should be sent by regular mail.

    SIGNATURE – IDENTIFY YOURSELF
    If you are in their district, they represent you directly and should know. You don’t have to include a complete mailing address or phone number.

    Using these email groups helps your communication to go to the Senators instead of into their spam folder.

  • Central Health District Meeting the Unanswered Questions

    On December 4, the Central District Board of Health voted to postpone their vote that would attach fines and imprisonment to their health orders that limit travel, gatherings, and force masks on every man, woman, and children over the age of 2.

    Much of the virtual meeting was the discussion of doom and gloom and was closed to all but 11 in-person citizens. The other 400 individuals stood shivering outside in the cold while more than 1,200 watched the live stream on YouTube.

    The health representatives said their model predicted by Christmas hospitals will be too full of patients, and that some people might have to be moved to overflow rooms such as meeting rooms and classrooms.

    The numbers are high, the beds are all full but…they don’t want to cause a panic.

    Questions that remained unanswered…

    At last Tuesday’s Central District Health board meeting (CDH), it was admitted that half of the virus patients in Ada County hospitals are from outside Ada County. Half. The Ada County hospitals are not filled with Ada County residents. 

    How will an iron-fisted health order imposed upon Ada County residents change the fact that half of the virus patients are from outside the county? (see the figures below on hospitalization for the district)

    Also shared at the CHD meeting on December 1: outbreaks in nursing homes continue. 

    After 8 months of this virus, nursing homes still cannot contain the virus and/or keep it from spreading in their facilities. Why? Why are nursing homes still having infection control issues? How will a draconian order upon Ada County residents who freely move through the community help reduce the long-term care facilities? Shouldn’t the efforts be focused on educating and overseeing the nursing home staff to ensure they are exercising proper infection control procedures? How is it Ada County residents’ fault that the nursing homes aren’t doing a good job protecting their residents?

    Where is the proof that those who live mask-free are spreading the disease? Look around the grocery stores, Lowe’s, Wal-Mart, etc. where nearly everyone is wearing a face mask. Where exactly are the people supposedly not wearing face masks? All of these stores require them. For the one out of 15 people who refuse to wear a mask, show us the data that reveals that a few people not wearing face masks is causing the virus to spread in Ada County.

    Where is the data/science that proves wearing a face mask outdoors stops the spread of this virus? Outdoor face mask use is nothing more than a frantic response; there isn’t one place in the world that has data that shows face masks worn outside stop the spread of this virus.

    If you are true leaders, you will work with all facets of the community to creatively find ways to address this problem, without resorting to coercion.

    400 People Show Up. Thousands of Citizens Email and Watch Meeting Live.

    “After hours of discussion, the meeting ended with a huge win for the people and for LIBERTY tonight at Central District Health. Freedom wins today. All political power is in the people!” said Executive Director Sarah Clendendon.

    Officers, Do You Remember Your Oath?

    As a reminder to the Boise Police Department, your sworn promise is important and is not just words; it is an oath you swore to uphold. Keep that always at the forefront of your mind:

    “I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same: that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

    Haven’t Hospitals Been Balancing Patients for Decades?

    A nurse commented: Hospitals have been full for decades. Balancing census has always been something nursing supervisors have to do. I worked in ICU and several other floors. We were constantly having to juggle patients, keep patients in ER because there were no beds available, divert traumas because we were full… a day in the life of any busy hospital. That was 20 years ago and has nothing to do with COVID. Also, never in the history of hospitals have nurses “responded immediately” to a call light. We’re ALWAYS overworked and crazy busy. Again, nothing to do with COVID. These doctors need to stop with the dramatics.

    What do the numbers show?

    Transparency is so important. At the time of this article, there are 242 out of 544,234 people in the district who are hospitalized with a positive COVID test according to St. Luke’s and St. Alphonsus’s websites. The 151 ICU beds available are full.

    We have almost 2 million people in the state of Idaho and 8 months to prepare – WHY have the hospitals not taken the millions of dollars to increase the ICU bed count?!

    Please explain to me the following…
    1. Why do we only have 151 ICU beds in the whole State!
    2. How do we shut down the whole State and claim we will be overrun with a projection of -4 beds at the peak? All they have to do is open a wing to accommodate or put the in the empty ER.
    Not to mention they have had 9 months to prepare.

    St Alphonsus

    A total of 397 people are in the hospital right now. 95 people out of the 544,234 people living in the Central District who are at St. Al’s hospitals have a positive COVID test. This does not mean there are 95 people in ICU admitted because of COVID. Every person admitted to the hospital must be tested. (Concerns about false positives in testing)

    *ICU beds were mentioned numerous times at the meeting. These figures aren’t available to the public on this website: https://www.saintalphonsus.org/coronavirus/stats

    All patients must be tested and a positive test does not mean that they were admitted because of COVID.

    All patients must be tested and a positive test does NOT mean that they were admitted BECAUSE of COVID.

    St. Lukes

    147 people out the 544,234 people living in the Central District are in St. Luke hospitals right now with a positive COVID test. This does not mean that there are 95 people in ICU admitted because of COVID. Every person admitted must be tested.*ICU beds were mentioned numerous times at the meeting. These figures aren’t available to the public on this website: https://www.stlukesonline.org/health-services/service-groups/covid-resources/covid-data-and-reporting

    What’s the Survival Rate?

    Are these masks really working?

    We masked up our children to go to school even though the risk of severe illness is equivalent to their chance of being struck by lightning.
    We masked up our hospital workers – constantly exposed and yet still testing positive and asymptomatic, unable to work for several weeks.
    We masked up our elderly and medically fragile – and yet they are suffering the highest mortality rate trapped in isolation in long-term care facilities.

    Is it possible that the mask theory isn’t working?
    CDC says 80% of those with COVID wore masks.

     If masks worked then why are they shutting everything down again??

    Where is the science on masks preventing the spread? You have big cities that have already tried this, mandating masks and fining people. The cities that have done this are still having mass spread. Stay home orders and mask mandates have not worked. Keep the vulnerable home, eat healthy take vitamin D, etc. The focus should be on health and I’m not hearing about that at all! – says a Facebook commenter

    Another commenter posted on Facebook: You can have compassion and care about others but not agree with the mask mandate. There is highly regarded scientific evidence that supports opening up and dumping the masks.

    I think we should have the freedom to choose. If you have underlying conditions and fear this virus, then why are you outside when there are options for you to purchase groceries online, renew and pay bills online etc.? If we choose to live life and not live in fear, then it is our right to do so. Those that want to wear masks, wear them. If you don’t, then don’t.

    The hospitals are full and you feel your position requires you to ‘do something.’ Here is a list of suggestions that are productive – not coercive.

    • Acquire, bring together, and advertise a list of area doctors who are able to treat Covid patients at home with proven protocols to prevent hospital admissions. 
    • Create a mobile health unit of area doctors and nurses who will make house calls. There are several successful at-home and outpatient clinic treatments available.
    • Encourage the community to protect and uplift the vulnerable, instead of shaming the maskless.
    • Do you realize there are people with valid medical exemptions to wearing masks who are refused service at stores? This is your fault! What about rape victims who have PTSD or those suffering from asthma? What about their health?

    If your only solution is to COERCE then you are not a leader, but rather a tyrant.   

    Are the COVID statistics padded?

    Are they reporting numbers just for COVID-19 or are they padding it with flu and pneumonia (a different virus that tends to be more prevalent in the colder months)?

    2018: 235 (flu) + 900 (Chronic lower respiratory diseases). In real life, 2018 was an equivalent or even higher respiratory death rate year in Idaho.

    Keep in mind, COVID deaths which now incorporate flu, pneumonia, and anyone who tests positive (even if the death was from another cause).
    Financial incentives keep the COVID tracking code on the death certificates. (see below)

    One commenter posted: “Will shutting down businesses instilling masks and social distancing fines and imprisonment take actually curtail the viral spread? You guys aren’t answering that question. There’s a lot on the line for everyone in our society. We’re hearing how you guys are at your neck in the water but we’re not hearing how taking this advisory to enforcement will help…“

    “Behave or we will be forced to punish you.” What gave you the idea that your posses that power?

    One of the commissioners tweeted that people need to have compassion for one another – and their need to punish people for not complying.

    One commenter responded:
    What about the people losing their jobs and businesses. Where is the dire concern for these people?

    One citizen suggested: You don’t get to punish people for not wearing a mask. Educate them. Tell them how and why it works. People will help. Stop relying on the government to make sure people comply. Mandating is not the answer.

    Another commenter posted during the live stream:

    The reason so many gave up their rights – their businesses – is to save lives. Now, this guy is saying it isn’t about mortality. Homeless are denied shelter and left to sleep in the cold due to these stupid policies. The elderly are held captive in their nursing homes against their will. People are dying due to your policies to protect others from suffering.

    Protecting Our Healthcare Workers or Making it Worse?

    Are you actually taking out staff that aren’t symptomatic by testing them and forcing quarantine? Are you considering allowing those who test positive and have no symptoms the opportunity to work with COVID-positive patients since the risk of contamination isn’t an issue?

    Should hospital workers be mandated to get the flu vaccine when flu vaccines have been found to increase risk of coronavirus infections? “Receiving influenza vaccination may increase the risk of other respiratory viruses, a phenomenon known as virus interference.”

    “Vaccine derived virus interference was significantly associated with coronavirus(es)”

    After 10 Months and Millions of Dollars in Federal and State Aid shouldn’t you be prepared by now?

    This does NOT include the funds received by our long term care facilities.

    In addition, several areas received additional emergency funding according to the CDC data. https://data.cdc.gov/Administrative/Provider-Relief-Fund-COVID-19-High-Impact-Payments/b58h-s9zx

    Idaho Coronavirus Finance Committee Approves $5 Million For Contract Nurses

    Is the Coronavirus Finance Committee – an executive branch designated committee? According to the Idaho State Constitution, it is the job of the Legislature to determine and to allocate the budget – NOT an executive committee.

    Are You Listening to the Public?

    Unproven mask mandates on citizens with violations including fines and imprisonment aren’t the answer. You can’t arrest and fine people out of a ‘pandemic’. The people are weary of continually being fed the line of fear and doom. Their livelihoods crushed by policies that haven’t proven to ‘stop the spread’. The risk is highest for our elderly. The focus should be on protecting them not subjecting the entire population to draconian measures that haven’t proven to be effective in anything but creating a loss of income and increase of depression and suicide.

     The essence of community, family, and individual health is not only physical, but equally mental, spiritual, and psychological.  There are some things worse than death and illness!  For example, a hospital patient or nursing home resident who has to die ALONE without family by their side to say goodbye.  

    By turning a health advisory into an “order” you cross the line of human decency.  If you are true leaders, you will work with all facets of the community to creatively find ways to address this problem, without resorting to coercion.  

    For example, I have suggested several times to Governor Little that he include ALL facets of the medical profession on his COVID task force, to include DO’s, naturopaths, chiropractors, psychologists, etc (rather than only traditional medical doctors and hospital CEO’s), with no effect.  I have sent numerous emails with scientific documentation to our area’s health district (EIPH), with no effect.  Idahoans expect better leadership – this is your opportunity to rise to the occasion! 

  • Central Health Demands Small Biz Hire Enforcers

    There is a lot to loathe about the CDH revised orders that will be voted on this Tuesday.

    This is a disgusting violation of rights on so many levels. I would like to draw your attention to the 2 I have circled in red.

    Hey small businesses owners of bars and nightclubs 🗣 are you prepared to hire security especially in this market where you are working harder than ever just to keep your doors open❓

    Now take a look at #12. If we don’t comply with this tyranny, including paying someone to enforce these draconian measures purposed by the board, then we can be fined or imprisoned. 😡

    Is this what you signed up for as an entrepreneur?

    Did you hope that one day you could pay someone to be the enforcers of tyranny? As an entrepreneur myself, this is NOT what I signed up for. This must not be tolerated.

    Show up on Tues at 5:15 pm at CDH. Bring your noisemakers and your friends. Contact the small business owners in Ada, Boise, Elmore, and Valley counties and educate them about how this will impact them if allowed to pass.

    Email the board and let them know that you expect them to vote NO on this order that puts an undue burden on small businesses.

    Emails must be received by Mon at 5:15 pm so don’t delay.

  • We still believe in freedom. Do you?

    We, the people of the state of Idaho, reaffirm our solemn commitment to the foundational principles that have made America the greatest country in the world. As noted in our state constitution and restated here, we remain grateful to Almighty God for our freedom.
    We recognize that all of us are “by nature free and equal, and have certain inalienable rights, among which are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, pursuing happiness and securing safety.” 

    The fact that a pandemic may or may not be occurring changes nothing about the meaning or intent of the state constitution in the preservation of our inalienable rights.
    Despite this, in direct contravention of Idaho’s founding principles, state and local public officials have, for months, denied the people of our state basic and fundamental rights by issuing a long procession of emergency orders and edicts that have denied people freedom of movement, assembly, religion, possession and enjoyment of property, and the pursuit of happiness. This has been allowed to go on for too long. 

    By this letter, we demand an end to the emergency orders issued by state and local government officials and the restoration of our constitutionally-protected rights. We further resolve that any order issued in the future will be ignored, unless those orders recognize, honor, and uphold, without reservation or equivocation, our God-given rights.
