PETITION DRIVE: Gather Signatures to Bring Bibles Back to School!
For over a century, teachers in Idaho public schools began each day by reading the Bible aloud to their students.

Today marks a major milestone for life…
This week, we celebrate the two-year anniversary of the Idaho Heartbeat Law going into effect.

PETITION: Bring the Bible back to school!
Did you know that Idaho public school students once heard the Bible read by their teachers at the beginning of each school day?

Joint Statement on Hempfest
On Saturday, May 11, marijuana advocates will once again host their “Boise Hempfest” in Julia Davis Park.
