  • Is Nuxoll Sorry She's an Arrogant Bigot? Not Yet
    Is Nuxoll sorry she's an arrogant bigot? Not yet Marty Trillhaase/Lewiston Tribune The Declaration of Independence says that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It does not say all men are "endowed by Jesus Christ" with these rights. The Pledge of Allegiance speaks of "one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." It does not speak of "one nation, under Jesus Christ." The motto of the United States - printed on coins and dollar bills - states: "In God we trust." It does not state: "In Jesus Christ we trust." Apparently, that's a source of consternation for Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll, R-Cottonwood. Not only did she join Sens. Lori Den Hartog, R-Meridian, and Steve Vick, R-Dalton Gardens, in boycotting guest chaplain Rajan Zed's Hindu invocation opening the March 3 Senate session, but Nuxoll cast aspersions upon the faith. "Hindu is a false faith with false gods," Nuxoll said. "I think it's great that Hindu people can practice their religion, but since we're the Senate, we're setting an example of what we, Idaho, believe." Just for getting that much wrong, Nuxoll ought to apologize. But there's more. Nowhere within the U.S Constitution will you find Jesus Christ or God. What you will find is the creed of the Enlightenment: a fervent fear of church and state combining to crush individual liberty and an abiding tolerance for the views of all: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, ..." says the First Amendment.

These responsibilities are carried out through the legislative process -- laws passed by elected representatives of the people, legislators. Since statehood in 1890, Idaho's legislators have enjoyed a rich and successful history of charting the state's growth. Much of that success can be attributed to the fact that Idaho's legislators are "citizen" legislators, not career politicians. They are farmers and ranchers, business men and women, lawyers, doctors, sales people, loggers, teachers. Elected for two-year terms and in session at the Capitol just three months each year, Idaho's citizen legislators are able to maintain close ties to their communities and a keen interest in the concerns of the electorate.

  • 2013 Freedom Index Report
    2013 Freedom Index Report Dear Friend of Freedom, On behalf of the board of directors of Idaho Freedom Foundation and our dedicated team of policy analysts and reporters, it is my honor to present you with our 2013 Idaho Freedom Index® Report. The Idaho Freedom Index examines legislation for free market principles, constitutionality, regulatory growth and other defined metrics. The examination then results in a numeric value being assigned to each bill having an impact on economic freedom and growth of government. We then take those numeric values and tally each legislator’s House or Senate floor votes to see whether that legislator, in total, supported or opposed economic freedom. Before the Idaho Freedom Index came along, it was nearly impossible to speak knowledgeably about a legislator’s commitment or opposition to free market ideals. We basically had to take politicians at their word regarding their cumulative voting performance. Today, voters, taxpayers and other interested observers can use our data to see whether lawmakers vote in support of bigger or smaller government, economic liberty or statism. Legislators routinely check our Freedom Index analyses before they cast their votes, and members of the public also check the Index to see how their legislators are performing. Our policy analysts worked tirelessly throughout the session to make sure lawmakers and the public had timely, accurate and substantive information during the 88-day legislative session. None of this work would be possible without the generous support of freedom-loving Idahoans, who continue to make a financial investment in the Idaho Freedom Foundation. If you are one of our dedicated donors, I offer you my humble and heartfelt gratitude.
