Thank you Gregory for informing Idahoans of these types of issues. Let’s hope our local media pick up on this and ensure it reaches all corners of our State.

Do some of the Senators really not know the bill originated out of state from a bill-mill organization? If that's the case, they shouldn't be serving in the legislature.

It’s been a problem for a long time and is part of how the far right has been able to manipulate votes. They leave out important information (lie of omission) to get their legislation passed. Last year they straight up lied and said the bill designed to make their major donor (Money Metals) millions of dollars in profit by moving state funds into their gold vault had a zero fiscal impact.

I have a question. The income tax reduction bill (HB 40) just introduced by Mike Moyle, features a capital gains tax elimination for gold bullion sales. Very odd. Does this have anything to do with influence by Money Metals? A little quid pro quo maybe?

It's been my observation that any caucus/PAC/nonprofit political org. that has the work "Freedom" in it's name is actively working to take away freedoms from other citizens.

Absolutely. It’s a red flag for me. When I hear a name like, “Patriot Freedom Coalition”, my instant reaction is always…”Uh oh!”

Also, names including “Guardian” and “Liberty” make me want to run for the hills. They think they’re fooling us.
