We need to challenge the Republican Central Committee

Many things in life are defined by the finer details.

Apparently, the Idaho GOP failed to print the finer details in their statement on the main page of the Idaho GOP website. They use the phrases “freedom of the individual,” “informed citizens capable of self-rule,” and “the dignity of every man and woman”. Maybe they meant to follow each of these with “as determined by the local Republican Central Committee.”

Join me in challenging your local Republican Central Committee when they issue a vote of no-confidence, and when they bring an elected official to inquiry about their worthiness as a Republican.

The Idaho GOP needs to return to clear and consistent freedom of the individual, informed citizens, and the dignity of every man and woman. You can participate by voting in the November 2023 and May 2024 election cycles. Office-holders should be chosen by the electorate, not the Central Committee.

We must not allow the Idaho GOP leaders, alone, to determine which Republicans have the right to register to vote, campaign, or hold public office.
