Our Actions:
Vote NO on Fire District Levies on May 20, 2025!
The fires in California a few months ago were horrific and scary. Pacific Palisades utilized well-funded, unionized firefighting teams to try and stop the blaze. Still, approximately 5,500 homes burned down. Why does this matter? Because Bonner County officials are using that tragedy to scare this community into approving crazy increases in fire levies this spring.
Click here to learn more about those levies.
And sign up for our latest letter-writing campaign to The Bonner County Daily Bee & The Reader encouraging the community to Vote No to Fire Levies on May 20, 2025! We will draft a letter that you will have the opportunity to review and edit. You may submit the letter yourself, or we will gladly submit it on your behalf.

Latest From Our Facebook Page . . . | An informed voter is a powerful voter. Identifying as a conservative is not the same as being a true conservative. How do you know where candidates stand and which organization is more than conservative in name only? Here are some tips to help: Follow the money. This state site has financial reports of candidates, organizations, and individuals that will tell you where funding comes from. Don’t fall for the name. The “Idaho Liberty PAC” spent its donor money on the campaigns of those who opposed the true liberty candidates. “Reclaim Idaho,” a Democratic organization trying to circumvent the people's will via the initiative process. “Take Back Idaho” has attacked the Idaho Freedom Foundation, a true conservative organization (and a good source of information). Idaho 97 supported mandatory vaccinations and masks and opposed the school choice movement. “Defend and Protect Idaho PAC” was created to attack true conservative candidates as “too extreme” and obtained most of its funding from liberals outside of Idaho. North Idaho Voter Services has attacked Bonner County Republican Women Inc, (BCRWI) our President, and other conservatives by label-lynching with the term “right-wing extremists.” They also sent out mailers encouraging cross-over voting during the primaries. Watch for label-lynching and keywords. Do they praise moderates and attack those who stand for the Constitution? Do they label lynch with terms such as “right-wing extremist” and “militant Christian fundamentalism” and describe any conservable viewpoint as “hateful rhetoric”? Find out for yourself. Attend meetings (school board, county commissioners, city council and other city meetings, library board—any meetings where decisions affect your quality of life and your tax dollars) in person or via zoom. Republican Central Committee meetings are a good way to discover the true conservatives in the county. It is possible to know where people stand. Watch with whom they align, listen to what they say, watch whom they attack, follow the money, vet everyone, and then use your vote to support true conservatives. |
