Glenneda On The Issues
Medical Freedom
To achieve true medical freedom, we must end our reliance on government programs funded by taxpayers. A significant portion of Idaho’s Health and Welfare programs depends on federal funding, ranging from 60% to 90%, depending on the program. Consequently, many decisions affecting our health freedom are made at the federal level, not locally. Historically, healthcare was provided by churches, charities, and individuals. Imagine the potential transformation in healthcare if we reintroduced a free market. Consider the possibilities for Idahoans if we reduced the $4.4 billion health and welfare appropriation. Lightening this financial load could significantly enhance our state’s overall health.
First Amendment
The First Amendment, which encompasses the freedoms of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition, serves as the cornerstone of our Constitutional Republic. Currently, we are facing a critical challenge to these freedoms, as there is a growing trend of using legal tactics, or “lawfare,” to silence individuals. This weaponization of the legal system poses a significant threat to our First Amendment rights, underscoring the urgent need to safeguard these fundamental liberties that are essential to our freedoms.
Water
Protecting Idaho’s sovereignty over our water resources is paramount. We must exercise extreme caution when accepting federal assistance related to our water. As we have witnessed with our public lands, there has been a gradual erosion of state control in favor of increased federal oversight. This trend could extend to our water resources if we do not vigorously oppose any federal funding that comes at the cost of Idaho relinquishing its sovereignty over water.
Education
Public education should support, not infringe upon, a parent’s right to choose what is best for their child’s education. It should assist in providing the tools for children to learn how to think, rather than dictating what to think. Allowing funding to follow the child will not only enhance our children’s education but also enable educators to utilize their skills in ways that best meet the needs of each child. This approach fosters a more tailored and effective educational environment.
