David (People) Vs. Goliath (IACI)

Idaho is worth defending and protecting

Where to begin? (I have included links for you to research and make your own opinion. All links are underlined you only have to click on it.)

First, I want to encourage you all by saying, "We the People" can defeat "Goliath" (Global Corporations). However, we must stop focusing on the size of the giant and trust that God is greater. We must have faith and pick up three stones: 1. A stone of educating. 2. A stone of engaging. 3. A stone of voting

The First Stone, EDUCATING. Who are we battling? Who is Idaho’s Goliath? * If you have been getting my newsletters you know IACI (Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry) is the name of Idahoans Goliath. * Let me assist you in better understanding who IACI is by guiding you to follow the money. We need to look no further than the Idaho Idaho Prosperity Fund’s sunshine report to see who contributes to the PAC. Below are 33 of the more than 300 corporations and industries they lobby for.

IACI funds Candidates through Idaho Prosperity Fund. “IPF financially assists candidates for Statewide, Legislative, and Local office through independent expenditures. The IPF Board of Directors determines which candidates to support, focusing on those who demonstrate commitment to the ideals of a free market society, who believe in the rights of the individual, and who are committed to preserving the free enterprise system.” In their own words, they state that they determine which candidates will receive their support based on who demonstrates a commitment to their ideals and the free market. In other words, who will carry out their agenda. One must also question their definition of a free market. My definition is to keep the government out of businesses and let them operate using their own resources, not at the expense of taxpayers.

During my freshman year, I sat through many presentations where I felt more like the CEO of Idaho Inc. rather than a statesman representing the people. I will give you one example. H24 the Governors Launch Bill. Or is it IACI’s Launch Bill? Here is a photo of all the Corporations who put letters on our Senate desks as we debated the bill. You will notice that many contribute to Idaho Prosperity Fund who claim they are for free market. Is it free market having the government(taxpayer) funded training for their future workforce?

Taking a deeper dive into following the money. Let’s take a look at the top shareholders of many of these companies. You will find there is a couple of common denominators which are Black Rock and Vanguard. These are two heads of the same serpent. When you are the top shareholder in each others company you are one and the same.

So who are the top shareholders all you have to do is Google it. I will do a few for you. Idaho Power, Clearwater Paper, Micron, Midas Gold, and Blue Cross.

IACI is not the only area on which we should educate ourselves. We must also examine industries that receive large amounts of Government subsidies. With Federal subsidies come federal shackles. Before I proceed, I want to clarify that I am 100 percent in support of our farmers, ranchers, and dairymen. I share this information as a watchman in the tower, warning that the enemy is no longer at the gate but within our walls. While our farmers aim to produce and provide food for our tables, they often struggle to keep food on their own, leading them to seek federal subsidies. Will these government subsidies dictate what the farmers grow, or even if they can grow at all? With our National debt at 33.6 trillion and rising, can our agriculture sector continue without such subsidies?

Now that you have and Idea who the Goliath is.

The Second Stone: Engaging. What does this entail? It's about recognizing those who genuinely work for the people, individual rights, and the free market, and then supporting them with your time, money, and influence. Additionally, it's crucial to identify those who might further the interests of Global Corporations. To do this, examine the IACI Score Card, see whom they endorse and to whom they contribute, and consider all other companies whose top shareholders include Black Rock and Vanguard.

Idaho is worth defending! There are many ways to achieve this, just as our Founding Fathers pledged their "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor." It will take nothing less to preserve our Constitutional Republic and State Sovereignty.

If you are someone who prioritizes defending children over institutions, championing health freedom, upholding freedom of speech and religion, protecting our 2nd amendment, and resisting excessive government spending and reliance on debt-laden federal funds, then these are the qualifications that Idaho needs.

I understand that many of you are facing financial hardships. However, if we don't invest our money and time in supporting good candidates who will combat overspending, we can expect taxes to rise and the burden of inflation to heavily impact both you and your children. In just four short years, Idaho has increased its budget by 50 percent. With 82 percent of our legislators being Republican, along with a Republican executive branch, Idaho should be making headlines more than Florida and Arkansas due to its Republican majority. Instead, we are starting to resemble California and Oregon. When we point fingers at Californians, we must recognize that three fingers are pointing back at our third and fourth generation Idahoans for turning Idaho blue. Again, consider those receiving money and support from IACI and companies aligned with Black Rock and Vanguard's interests.

In legislative races, individuals can contribute up to $1,000 per person per election. If you can't donate the maximum amount, let me explain why your $20 contribution is vital. Each donor represents not only their own vote but an influence equivalent to ten more votes. This leads me to..

Stone Number Three: Vote! Voting is the means by which "WE THE PEOPLE" retain power. Large global corporations, special interest groups, and lobbyists rely on their financial influence because they either have only one vote, just like you, or they can't vote at all, being neither Idaho nor U.S. citizens. Why do you think they exert so much effort, using their resources to target statesmen who represent the people? It's because they lack the votes.

This election is crucial, as Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

Are we this generation?

For me, I will fight, work hard and sacrifice my life, fortune and sacred honor to defend our freedom!!!
