Article I, Section 2F: This section is too vague. How is “voter approval” defined? A simple majority?
A super majority? What is a “special project”? I need clear definitions before I can agree to support
this. Article I, Section 3C: I do not support repealing the 17th amendment. Article I, Section 4A: I do
not believe that the gold/silver standard is a wise choice. Article I, Section 5D: Although I agree with
the general principle of state sovereignty and love the independent spirit of our state and its laws,
this section may put at-risk monies that positively impact all Idahoans and help keep taxes low. It
also creates lawlessness when we do not work together as Americans to abide within a framework
that creates nationwide laws and principles. Article I, Section 5F: I do not support amending the
Idaho Constitution as described. Article II, Section 3: This is inconsistent with state law (which is six
months). Changing it will only confuse voters. Article III: I believe that taxpayer dollars should only
fund educational institutions that have taxpayer oversight and opportunity for taxpayer involvement
in a system that allows for religious freedom that benefits all taxpayers, not religious preference
which does not, just as I believe our forefathers sought. I believe that the children of taxpayers
should receive an education that creates well-informed, data-driven, democracy-empowered
citizens in an environment that is physically safe for all students, taught by trained and accredited
educators who well-paid for their expertise and value to society. Article XIV, Section 2: I support the

marriage of two consenting adults (18 years of age or older) and urge the State to end the practice
of allowing child marriage. Article XIV, Section 3: I believe that abortion should be legal, rare, and
safe in instances of rape, incest, instances where the child’s life is at risk and when the life of the
mother is at serious risk. Article XVII: I do not believe that judges should be elected in partisan
elections.
