“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” — George Orwell

‘Faith, family and freedom loving conservative Republicans need to shut up and go away.’ That is the message we are hearing from the Democrats and their allies in the Republican Party. There is a statewide effort to crush the grassroots conservative movement and the epicenter is right here in Kootenai County, being led by Sandy Patano, Jack Riggs, and other founders of the North Idaho “Republicans” or NIR. 

NIR is a self-selected group. The only requirement is that you are a friend of, and will support the founders. They have no regular meetings where the public is invited to observe. They have no published meeting times, no bylaws or procedures, no minutes, and no terms of office. NIR is top down oligarchy where a small gang of elites make all the decisions.
