Idaho Governor Brad Little: Big Child Advocate or Big RINO?

Idaho Governor Brad Little is facing a strong primary challenge from the current Lieutenant Governor Janice McGeachin.

Governor Little has been a part of the Gem State political establishment for years, and it seems that he is more interested in making nice with the party bosses than doing what is best for Idaho's kids.

There are two key bills working their way through the Idaho State Legislature:

H 666: This bill will ban the obscenity exemption which has allowed unscrupulous staffers in schools and libraries to push obscene materials on children, without any consequence. Adults are not allowed to push obscene materials on children in the public square or in other government buildings. Why do adults get away with pushing such harmful, destructive material onto children in locations which are supposed to be a child's safest spaces outside of the home?

This bill is a no-brainer. Seven states, red and blue, do not have an obscenity exemption. Why should Idaho allow children to be harmed in the classroom or the library?

And yet ... Gov. Little says little to nothing about it. What is the matter with this guy?!

The other bill, which is also very important to protect children, is ...

H 675: This legislation will ban the horrific practice of so-called "gender modification" of minors, in reality sex mutilation of minors. Children are not allowed to drink alcohol, smoke, drive a vehicle, or enter into a contract.

And yet, there are unscrupulous business interested and disturbed parents who think it is acceptable to forcibly transition, in reality mutilate, children to try to make them the opposite sex. Yes, the LGBT lobby has thrown up a whole host of false sob stories to give the impression that so-called "transgender" children will commit suicide if they are not allowed to have their hormones ruined and their bodies butchered. But the truth is very simple: there are two sexes, and kids grow out of gender confusion naturally if they are allowed to grow up.

It's that simple.

The truth is that the sexual mutilation of minors will scar these poor children for life. They will be rendered sterile, unable to raise a family. They end up suffering renewed mental health issues, and in too many cases, the physiological and anatomical complications which ensue from those invasive surgeries is just too horrific to describe.

And yet ... Governor Little says little to nothing.

Why does Governor Little hate children in the state of Idaho? Why does he not want to do what is best for the kids in his great state? Mothers and fathers across Idaho want to end the corrupted obscenity exemption, which has protected perverts, predators, and pedophiles in public schools and public libraries. Parents across Idaho want to end the life-destroying

Call Governor Little's office and tell him to act like a BIG MAN and do what is best for Idaho's Kids!

We all know that the only reason the Idaho State Senate has even contemplated stalling and killing these bills is that Governor Little does not want to sign them.

Tell Little Brad to support H 666 and H 675 and demand that those bills come to his desk ASAP!

Raul Labrador for Governor: Champion of Conservative Values

Dear Friend, I am thrilled to release the fourth plank of my Conservative Vision for a Stronger Idaho: Defending Traditional Idaho Values. There is nothing more important than defending the life of the pre-born, standing firm in defense of traditional families, and protecting our constitutional rights. I’ve championed these conservative causes my whole life.  Not just as a member of the Idaho Legislature or as a member of Congress, but also as a father and member of my community. In stark contrast to my consistent conservative record, my opponent Brad Little sided with Democratic lawmakers and cast the deciding vote in the Idaho Senate in 2004 to stop efforts to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.  Then in 2005, Little cast the deciding vote in favor of a bill to increase public funds paid to Planned Parenthood. Tommy Ahlquist’s own record as a conservative is questionable.  In 2014 Ahlquist donated $5,000, the maximum amount allowed by law, to a Democratic candidate for governor, and has donated thousands more to other Democrats, including top members of Hillary Clinton’s and Barack Obama's Idaho leadership teams.  Ahlquist has also conveniently reversed his positions on key issues like fighting for traditional marriage and ending common core. Idahoans expect their leaders to be forthright about where they stand on the issues and expect them to stand by their principles, never folding or yielding to political pressure. Idaho needs a governor who will take a consistent and firm stand in defense of traditional Idaho values. I invite you to review my plan below and share it on Facebook. Thanks for your support, Raúl Labrador Conservative for Governor   Conservative Vision for a Stronger Idaho Defending Idaho Values Support the Second Amendment and Stand Your Ground  Idaho must always defend the Second Amendment rights of our citizens. That is why I believe it is time to enact Stand Your Ground legislation in Idaho. Idaho should provide solid legal protection to people who must resort to deadly force in the protection of lives and property. As governor, I’ll support and promote legislation protecting law-abiding citizens who stand their ground, or use force without retreating, in defense of themselves, their families and their fellow Idahoans. End Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Clinics It is wrong to use taxpayer dollars to fund abortion clinics. As governor, I’ll work with the Legislature to stop state Medicaid dollars from reimbursing abortion clinics. Additionally, as governor, I’ll require abortion clinics in Idaho to be subject to the same stringent health inspections and medical certifications as hospitals and require each facility, including the doctors and staff that work there, to be medically qualified to provide the services offered at their facility. Protect Idahoans’ Right to Worship According to Their Faith All people have a fundamental God-given right to worship in accordance with one’s own beliefs. Our Constitution is designed to prevent the government from hindering the free exercise of religion. As governor, I will always protect the right of individuals, professionals, and private businesses to be free from government interference with their religious beliefs and will oppose legislation that puts Idahoans at risk of civil action for exercising their religious beliefs. Defend Traditional Marriage and Family Values Strong families improve our communities, our state and our nation. As governor, I’ll actively look for ways to strengthen healthy families and foster policies that result in resilient communities. I will also actively look for an opportunity to challenge the U.S. Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision that interfered with our state sovereignty and took away states’ ability to define marriage. Stop Unjust Government Property Seizures Laws that deny people the right of due process must be repealed. In Idaho, it’s possible to have your property seized by law enforcement even if you’ve never been charged or convicted of a crime. This is known as civil asset forfeiture. As governor, I will be a strong supporter of law enforcement efforts to bring criminals to justice but seizing property without charging someone with a crime or securing a conviction isn’t justice. Idahoans deserve better, and I will work to reform civil asset forfeiture as other states have done. Protect Your Constitutional Rights by Repealing Mandatory Minimums Too often our criminal justice system does a poor job of balancing an individual’s criminal punishment with their constitutional rights. I believe the punishment should fit the crime. However, we have a responsibility to exercise an abundance of caution when we seek to take away a person’s freedom. One-size-fits-all prison sentences can lead to low level, non-violent offenders becoming lifelong criminals instead of being rehabilitated and returning to society as productive citizens. As governor, I’ll work with the Legislature to reform Idaho’s mandatory minimum sentencing requirements and improve the states’ substance abuse policies. We must make certain that sentences fit the crimes while also giving judges greater discretion when determining sentences. ###
