DO NOT VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN!!!
MANY SO CALLED REPUBLICANS ARE RINOS.
WHAT are the facts BEHIND THE MATT CLIFFORD SIGNS
For info on Matt Clifford please follow these two links and review our opinion of the issue below. The voter guide continues below.
1. Matt refused to meet with 12 pastors
Watch the video or read the summary below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yA6t9G-G3E
Click on the Image below to see more of the context. This message was sent by Pastor Jack Hibbs and a group of 12 pastors were planning to meet with Sheriff Matt Clifford. We assumed Clifford was on our side on this Drag Kids issue. However, we never heard back from him despite numerous emails through the official channels.
One of the 12 pastors (from one of the local Calvary Chapels) decided to visit the Sheriff’s office and ask for the meeting. When he got there he identified who he was and why he was there. It was apparent that they had gotten our emails as Clifford sent word to the front desk blowing us off. Yeah, this about the Drag Kids event, there is not going to be any meeting. It was like he saw the pastors as a nuisance, besides, he said he had no jurisdiction (which is a lie since it was in Boise).
The pastor stepped outside and was recording a message about the encounter to the other pastors. Two deputies came out, as far as we can tell under orders from Matt, to chase him off the property. They asked the pastor what he was doing and stood around making him feel so uncomfortable that he left right away and called us over the phone. In light of the next incident (see the Kuna resident who was attacked an beaten by a group of deputies just for looking inside a parked sheriff’s car), leaving was probably a wise move. We should not be living in a police state as second class citizens. The Sheriff should be working with pastors and churches, not acting as though they are a problem. Who will protect your church in the next pandemic. He had two years to reach out to us.
2. Violating a Kuna Resident’s Unalienable Rights:
https://idahodispatch.com/kuna-man-awarded-settlement-in-wrongful-arrest-case-speaks-out/
While Matt was forced to issue a statement on this situation, first he defended the deputies and then later it was not a mea culpa. The fundamental issue is, why do we have a sheriff’s department that doesn’t even realize their role? Why jump and attack a person for merely looking inside a sheriff’s car? Does every citizen need to worry about getting a deputy angry? Do we really want to live in a county that is one of those, “Keep your head down, never look at a deputy in the eye, or you’ll get arrested and beaten up?” This is not something a deputy needs to be “retrained” for. It’s common human decency. It’s understanding what your job as a Sheriff is. This is endemic of a deeper problem. It’s not about a single incident but the entire demeanor of the deputies who think they are superior to the people they work for. You can’t threaten a person who is curious to see what’s inside a Sheriff’s car. And you certainly cannot beat up a man even if he was rude to a deputy. Why is this not clear to everyone? This attitude can only come from the top. Did any of the other deputies stop to ask: What was this man’s crime? Before they assaulted him? Apparently not! Why not? What sort of protector of the people beats up a 70 old man who has done absolutely nothing. Then to make it worse, they try to press charges against him. Charges for resisting arrest. Watch the video. It was a lie.
While I do not recommend it nor think it is appropriate, you can sit and cuss out a police officer to his face and you have committed no crime. It’s called the 1st Amendment. Remember that? It would seem that these officers
Was anyone fired or punished for this incident? Forget the fact that the citizens of Ada had to pay $250,000 of our own tax money for the arrogance of some sheriff’s deputies. Ideally this amount should have come from the paychecks of each officer involved and every officer they reported to, but since that is unrealistic, at the least they should have had a week or two pay docked as they stayed home. Ideally they should have been fired. The problem is that nobody was punished for this but us. If a citizen assaults another human they are arrested and they pay the price. What officer was arrested for this assault? Why is there a double standard? If any officer lies under oath or on an official state or city document saying someone resisted arrest when the video shows none of that happens, do they not get fined, punished, reprimanded and docked pay? It’s perjury. It’s sad to see the sheriff pushing a double standard.
The sheriff and his deputies should be on our side. They should be on our team, not see themselves as a group of elites, a conquering army like the Roman Soldiers saw the Jews. The buck stops at the top.
It is clear that we need a different type of leadership if we are to be protected.
THE VOTER GUIDE
The guide below has been compiled and reviewed by 16 churches and their teams. While churches may vary in their exact final versions, these guides are being released around the state.
To make sure you are mailed this guide in the future both for updates and for future elections. Sign up in the field above.
Please Note: This guide does not indicate an endorsement nor makes any claim that any candidate is of pure character, it is just an identification of the candidates whose actions and platforms apparently align closer to Biblical values and the values of independence and the Biblical Free Market (see Proverbs 31 and the Parables of the 10 talents) or that they are the best of 2 or more potentially problematic candidates.
Legend
While you need to vote at a minimum, it is not enough to merely vote for a candidate. The real battle is
in GETTING OUT THE VOTE on a broader scale. Progressives mobilize their voter base utilizing paid
union workers – the teacher’s union, etc., WOKE ideologues, and misguided constituents. We cannot
assume we’ll win elections by taking a passive approach or limiting our participation to voting alone.
The Pastors’ Legislative Advisory Council (PLACE), the Values Advocacy Council Action, and
ConservativesOf: City, County, District, and State Chapters ask that your Constitutionally minded
Biblically based Conservative churches, families, friends, and neighbors join with us either through
their own church ministries 501c4 branches or through ConservativesOf: Campaign Teams and Action
Groups to go door to door and help GET OUT THE VOTE for our Biblically-minded Conservative
candidates and / or recommended candidates.
This is a great experience for family members of all ages. Homes for door knocking are selected based
on their registration, ensuring you’ll be contacting generally likeminded, friendly voters in your efforts.
You’ll be joining other experienced campaigners and encouraging likeminded citizens in your
communities to vote for candidates who align with our values as best reflected by candidates
represented in our ConservativesOf: voter guide(s).

Explaining why you need to vote no on prop 1
How to explain Prop 1 to your neighbors especially your leftist neighbors and family and friends.
The left says: Prop 1 restores open primaries and allows all Idahoans to vote in taxpayer funded elections.
This is a lie.
Every single registered Idahoan can ALREADY vote for whomever they want in every election, they just have to plan ahead. And just like you have to be registered to vote, you have to be registered with the Republicans to vote for their candidate. Nobody has ever stopped anyone from doing that.
To clarify: If someone wants to vote for a Republican then they can register as a Republican and vote that way. Nobody will stop anyone from registering anyway you want.
When liberals say that, ask them: Tell me precisely who can’t vote in an election?
They will say: Well, I can’t vote for a Republican.
Your reply: Yes, you can, if you go register as a Republican. Why don’t you just do that. You can change parties as soon as you know who is running. Why not do that?
Saying you can’t vote is a simple barefaced lie setup to dupe voters who are simply clueless about the procedure.
What’s the principle here
Let me explain what’s going on with an example (it’s not going to be 100% identical but should get the message across).
Let’s say you created a club or martial arts school, made up of friends who were martial artists and had a fighting style that you thought had the best real life defense tactics. You all decided you wanted to pool your money together and agreed to send the best fighter amongst you to fly to the national state funded open style martial art competition. Near the end of the season, all of you would vote to decide who was the best fighter in your club and that fighter would represent you at the nationals.
At first that worked great. Anyone who wanted to be in the running to be sent to the nationals just had to train with your club, and use your style of martial arts. Then they would get trained, financed and coached and given encouragement and when your team’s fighter won the nationals, you all felt great and shared in the victory and kept the cup.
But across town was another club of martial artists and they did something similar. But the best fighters kept joining your group and not theirs because they thought your fighting style and techniques were better. Also, your coaches were much better. Plus, your style of martial arts kept winning nationally and their style rarely did.
Then suddenly the other club brought the government in, and they said, when the time came for voting to send the best fighter in, you had to let the other club across town vote for your best fighter. Everybody only got one vote, but the other team was always losing, so all their players started to vote for your worst fighter so that you had trouble winning in the nationals. Is that fair?
I hope you see the analogy
The Republican Party is a private club, a private franchise. Anyone is free to join it, but you have to join it to vote for a fighter.
The left Democratic Club wants to be able to pick the Republican Club’s candidate for the nationals. Ask yourself why? Ask yourself if that is fair? It’s clearly just a tactic to dilute the candidates and pick weaker ones. We aren’t conservatives just because it’s our tribe. We are conservatives because it actually works. It’s why we had 4 years of prosperity under Trump and it all crashed and got worse under Biden.
Why they are doing this
The reason they want to force open primaries is because they can’t get enough of their side to lie and say they are Republicans and register as Republicans. It takes forethought and some maliciousness. The left wants open primaries so anyone can do it on a whim. It’s wrong, it’s manipulative and it’s deceptive.
On a side note:
Originally, we were called liberals, laissez faire liberals, but the leftists wanted the name “liberal” so they started applying it to themselves and since they controlled the media it was easy to make it stick.
Laissez-faire is a French phrase that translates to “allow to do” or “let them do it”. It is an economic philosophy that advocates for minimal government intervention in the economy. Laissez-faire economists believe that the government should not interfere with the natural order of the economy, and instead should focus on upholding individual liberty and private property rights. We believe in a morally restrained free market.
What do the progressives believe in? They want a group of government elites controlling our lives and taking from one person and forcibly giving it to another? (this is discussed extensively here: www.j3ip.com).
In CA they have these open jungle primaries. It’s a disaster because you lose all the principled candidates as they can never win. The only folks who can win are those with no principles except the desire to appease the masses with “bread and circuses.” This is the opposite of a Republic. It’s a democracy. The founders called democracies: mobocracies.
Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.
James Madison, “father” of the Constitution
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
John Adams
The experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived.
John Quincy Adams
All to say: Vote NO on Prop 1.
