We have good news from the Idaho State Capitol. It is being reported that the House and Senate floors were fully open to the people. There was no social distancing, mask requirement, or taped off chairs. Good work!
Please send a ‘thank you’ and ask that they continue to make the people’s house open to the public, as it should be.
The senate promised you during the special session that they would END Brad Little’s the State Of Emergency. Here are the details of the Governor’s 300-day emergency orders. NOW is the time to hold them accountable to that promise.
30+ Legislators are working on protecting freedom, restoring liberty in our state. SUPPORT THEM! “Ask your legislator for a copy of the agenda. If your legislator says they don’t know what it is…tell them they ‘missed the boat and they need to be on it!” – Rep Ron NateWhat does this have to do with health freedom? See the third line from the bottom!!
Alert! Rights suspended! Money allocated without legislative input! All power lies solely in the hands of Governor Little! Emergency declarations have time limits of 30 days with the option to extend it for another 30 should the situation warrant. In order to get around those expiration dates the Governor keeps rescinding emergencies and replacing them, restarting the expiration clock. The June 11 update Governor Little rescinded the extreme emergency to replace it with a new emergency order that will have a 30 day/60 day time limit UNLESS the legislature terminates it by resolution AT ANY TIME. (46-1008.) Notice that does allow him to suspend rules but of course NOT laws (also referred to Idaho code). Article II of the Idaho Constitution is very clear about the separation of powers. Even the extreme emergency code does NOT allow him to write/suspend the law. In the June 11emergency order, the Governor has suspended 4 laws. Governor Little has AGAIN violated the Constitution thus violating his duty as Governor.
We demand all our elected REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORSdo the job WE THE PEOPLEhired them to do.
The Governor illegally seized the power of the legislative branch by suspending and amending sections of the code and Allocating funds.
The legislature must convene to fulfill its constitutional obligations regarding code and allocating funds.
The legislature has the duty to ensure the continuity of state and local government pursuant to article 3 section 27 of the Idaho Constitution.
We demand that they TERMINATE the state of emergency pursuant to I.C. 46-1008.
Governor acts as King
Rather than call the legislature back into session and work with our representatives to speak on behalf of the people, Governor Little moves forward with a plan to invade privacy, remove parental rights, and remove the elderly’s rights, all for an illness that has caused 82 deaths in Idaho and causes no symptoms in 80% of people. Idaho has only 97% of the deaths that would have been normally expected between February 1, 2020 and May 29th, 2020.
What can YOU DO?Contact your legislator and tell them you expect them to represent you on June 23rd! Why the 23rd? Watch the Video below!
Why did Brad Little use martial law powers to suspend multiple line items in the Idaho Administrative Code related to parents’ rights when their children are in state custody?
The COVID-19 EMERGENCY DECLARATION Timeline:
➡️ MARCH 13 Declared ‘State of Emergency’ Brad Little puts Idaho in a state of emergency on March 13 using Idaho Code 46-1008(5)(a) to justify suspending line items from IDAPA Administrative Rules.
➡️ MARCH 23By Proclamation Governor Suspends 125+ Rules Hundreds of rules are suspended, but the most concerning are parents’ rights when children are taken into state custody. No visitation, no notice of transfer of children, changes to facility requirements where children are housed when in state custody (numbers of bathrooms, etc).
CDC’s own data released May 23rdshows that the risk to those under 60 is less than or equal to the flu. We also know that those who test positive but don’t have symptoms are actually NOT sick and can’t infect others, 1/3 to 1/2 of those who died were in nursing homes where they are fed nutrient deficient food and given flu vaccines which increase the risk of respiratory infections such as coronavirus, the actual number of deaths is about 1/20th the original extreme estimates Still, the Governor to move forward with mass testing.
➡️ APRIL 17 / APRIL 20 Idaho receives $1.25 Billion from the Federal Government from the CARES Act with more on the way. Governor Brad Little allocates as he sees fit because he refuses to convene the Legislature to do so.
Little has allocated $7 million of a possible $55 million to ‘contact tracing’ and hiring 255 individuals to track people down.
Plan mass testing of 150,000 COVID-19 molecular tests a week.
Governor Little plans on conducting primarily molecular (genetic) tests, not serology (antibody) tests – because serology tests detect antibodies and would prove most have been exposed, had the disease, and recovered. With molecular tests, government and media can continue to frighten people with the now old trope “You’re asymptomatic but test positive so you must be quarantined as you’re a danger to others.” even though FDA admits, “The detection of viral RNA by RT-PCR does not necessarily equate with an infectious virus.”
Got that, FDA admits a positive test does not mean you have an infectious virus! But a positive test will be followed by, “If you have no one to care for your children then we must ‘provide out of home care’ through social services/CPS.” Little and his team can continue to push the lie that those who test positive without symptoms can infect others despite the fact science has clearly disproven this.
Each time he issues a new emergency order the clock starts over giving him unlimited power and control under the 30/60 day extensions until the Legislature convenes and terminates the “emergency”.
Representative Tammy Nichols shares summary of Governor’s call with legislators
➡️ June 3 Governor Little Tells Legislators that he reinstated the regulations suspended. There was no proof provided.
Summary: He rescinded the extreme emergency. This is a new emergency order with the 30 day/60 day time limit UNLESS the legislature terminates it by resolution AT ANY TIME. 46-1008. Notice that does allow him to suspend rules but of course NOT laws (also referred to Idaho code). Article II of the Idaho Constitution is very clear about the separation of powers. Even the extreme emergency code does NOT allow him to write/suspend the law. NOTE: In this new emergency order he had suspended 4 laws. Governor Little has AGAIN violated the Constitution thus violating his duty as Governor.
Other Authoritarian Acts:
➡️ Federal Bill HR 6666 – This is a Federal bill that intends to provide Federal money to HHS to conduct mass forced COVID testing, including at people’s homes ➡️ Washington State Governor Inslee has hired people to supervise children in state Emergency Quarantine Centers. Will Idaho do the same? ➡️ Idaho is increasing the number of Contact Tracers from 23 to 255 ➡️ The federal government gives states billions of $$$ if states declare an “emergency” and even more for declaring an “extreme emergency”
Constitutional Republic form of government in Idaho completely gone, all power is held by Governor.
➡️Legislature discusses convening, acknowledges authority to, but sees no legal ‘mechanism’ to do so. TITLE 67 STATE GOVERNMENT AND STATE AFFAIRS CHAPTER 4 LEGISLATURE 67-422. CONVENING OF LEGISLATURE IN EVENT OF ATTACK. In the event of an attack, the governor shall call the legislature into session as soon as practicable, and in any case within ninety (90) days following the inception of the attack. If the governor fails to issue such a call, the legislature shall, on the ninetieth day from the date of inception of the attack, automatically convene at the place where the governor then has his office. Each legislator and each emergency interim successor, unless he is certain that the legislator to whose powers and duties he is designated to succeed or any emergency interim successor higher in order of succession will not be available [unavailable], shall proceed to the place of session as expeditiously as practicable. At such session or at any session in operation at the inception of the attack, and at subsequent sessions, limitations on the length of session and on the subjects which may be acted upon shall be suspended.
➡️67-422 Idaho Code demands that Legislature shall convene no later than 90 days following an ‘attack’ whether the Governor calls them back or not.
➡️Attack is defined in 67-415 Idaho Code. By the definition given and by the comments of the POTUS, Covid is certainly an attack as defined by law.
We are asking our legislators to do the following:
The legislature must convene pursuant to 67-422 Idaho Code and Idaho Constitution Article III Section 27 and must end the emergency declaration pursuant to 46-1008 (2).
The legislature must properly reallocate the funds granted by the Federal government.
The legislature must reinstate all suspended sections of the Idaho Code and all suspended sections of IDAPA Administrative Rules.
This is the only way we return to our Republic form of government.
The Idaho Legislature enacts statute/code and delegates to the Executive Branch’s State Agencies the ability to write rules to implement the statute/code.

Send this to your legislators – your Senator and both Representatives. Demand that your legislators follow the Constitution and convene the legislature on June 23.
Tell your legislators that you expect them to do the following:
The legislature must convene pursuant to 67-422 Idaho Code and Idaho Constitution Article III Section 27 and must end the emergency declaration pursuant to 46-1008 (2).
The legislature must properly reallocate the Federal funds.
The legislature must reinstate all suspended sections of the Idaho Code and all suspended sections of IDAPA Administrative Rules.
This is the only way we return to our Republic form of government.
RESPONSES TO COMMON OBJECTIONS
Your legislators will come up with all types of excuses to try and shirk their responsibilities. Don’t let them. Here are some responses for you to use:
Excuse: Our lawyers have said that we can’t have this special session.
Response: Who said that? What are their names and phone numbers. Let’s have a three way call and address this issue together because the law is clear. If you won’t follow the law and simply want to hide behind the flawed interpretations of unelected lawyers, then tell me, what purpose do you serve? Why should I ever vote for you?
Excuse: This was not an “attack,” so the protocols don’t apply.
Response:President Trump said it was an attack. Do you agree with him? Yes or no? The Governor used the statute that specifically mentions attack. And the definition in Idaho State Law plainly states that an attack is defined as “any action or series of actions taken by an enemy of the United States resulting in substantial damage or injury to persons or property in this state whether through sabotage…bacteriological, or biological means or other weapons or methods.” (video of Trump stating its an attack)
So do you believe that the coronavirus brought damage or injury to persons or property here in Idaho through bacteriological or biological means? Yes or no? If Governor Little wants to try to legally reject the clear definition in Idaho State Law, then he must make that case publically and he must also make a public declaration stating that the Governor of Idaho disagrees with President Trump and does not recognize President Trump’s statement calling the coronavirus crisis an “attack.” Until that happens, our legislature must meet on June 23rd.
Excuse: Only the Governor can call a special session.
Response: No, you are required by law to convene automatically on the 90th day after the definition of the attack. June 23rd would be the latest day justifiable for that. Have you even read the law (Idaho State Code 67-422)? Do you know what it says? Furthermore, Idaho State Code 46-1008 which the Governor also cited to justify his Executive Orders and which only allows for 60 days in total for emergency powers, plainly states, “The legislature by concurrent resolution may terminate a state of disaster emergency at any time.” What does “at any time” mean to you? It didn’t say, only during a special session called by the Governor. Any time means any time.
Excuse: I can’t go all the way to Boise.
Response: First of all, the Republican State Convention is going to be in Nampa 2 days later, so you’re already going to be in town. Second of all, it doesn’t matter since this is required by law, and if you can’t go, the law stipulates in section 67-422 that you are supposed to send your “interim emergency successor.” So, if you’re not going to come, then send your interim emergency successor. This is the law.
Objection: Your children will never be taken away from you because of the coronavirus.
Response: Then what is the reason for the suspension of parental rights by executive order? If you don’t know, then do your job and go the special session and find out. Then undo it. Furthermore, if there is no purpose to have these rules suspended, then there should be no reason for you NOT to vote to undo it.
Objection: Relax, the Governor cannot spend the $1.25 billion dollars however he wants. He is going to have input and oversight from the legislature.
Response: How and when? This money is going to be disbursed immediately. The Governor is not going to wait until January 2021 to start spending this money. So how and when are you, as a legislator, going to have a chance to review this spending? This is why you must be at the special session, which is required by law, on June 23rd.
This post has been edited to clarify the powers assumed by the Governor are under the “Martial Law and Active Duty” Chapter of Idaho Code.
Join us at the Capitol Steps for the People’s Rally June 23rd.
During the April 23, ReBound Idaho press conference, Governor Little said: “We are not going to return to normal until we have a vaccine.” He added that that could be 12-18 months away. He also said he expected people to do the right thing and get vaccinated but that if people didn’t, they would change the code. The Governor literally threatened forced vaccinations. Little touted the success of the stay at home orders and said we would only normalize life if certain criteria were met.
Health Freedom Idaho has a few questions for Governor Little:
How do you know what will happen in one month, let alone 12 months, with this new, unknown organism? How do you know it will behave any differently than other influenza-like respiratory infections which die out in the summer due to increased sun exposure which raises vitamin D levels boosting our immune systems? Please show us the independent science that supports that statement?
Why did you renew an executive order with many factual errors?
Recent science has shown Covid-19 was in the US as early as September or December of 2019 yet you state it was not here till January 2020. You state the need to expand our health care system capacity but Idaho’s capacity utilization peaked at just 6% of beds on April 10, 2020.
Why do you claim “extreme peril” exists in Idaho to justify your executive order when there were only 2 lab-confirmed and 3 probable cases of Covid-19 in the entire state from April 20-22, 2020?
Why are you ignoring the fact that Sweden never locked down yet has experienced the same disease cycle as the countries that did lock down without all the negative effects of these draconian policies?
Why are you supporting an antibody test when WHO officials say the antibody test may not work and that antibodies may not be proof of immunity? If antibodies are not proof of immunity why are you, an elected official, pushing vaccines which supposedly “create immunity” by producing antibodies?
Why are you ignoring prudent policies and recommendations by experts encouraging those at risk to self-isolate while those at low risk become exposed and develop immunity as this approach would be the safest for those at risk and truly protect them?
Why are you, an elected official touting one approach to dealing with an infectious agent, a vaccine, from which commercial interests will benefit, when there are many other ways to deal with and manage disease beginning with a strong immune system but not ending with homeopathy, naturopathy, herbs, supplements, chiropractic and more? Please show us the legislation that empowers you to select the winners and losers?
Why are you promoting vaccines when no vaccine manufacturer, no doctor or nurse who administers vaccines, no health official, no elected representative has any liability for vaccines because federal legislation recognizes vaccines injure and kill some recipients? Will you be personally liable?
Why are you ignoring the country of India which used homeopathy prophylactically on the recommendation of the Prime Minister Modi and has experienced only 23,000 cases and 700 deaths in a nation of 1.3 billion?
Why is Idaho on lockdown when Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Health recently wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine “the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%).”
Where does the Constitution grant you the power to determine what is an essential business? Why is it safer to go to the grocery store or post office than it is to go to the hair salon or have someone mow the lawn?
Where does the Constitution grant you the power to violate our natural God-given rights in ANY event?
Why do you, an elected official, believe you have any say over what we put in our bodies?
NOW is the time to hold them accountable to that promise.
