In 2017 we experienced greater economic inequality than at any time in the history of our country.

When Idaho Senator Jim Risch voted for the tax bill last month, he voted to cut his own family’s taxes by $4,000,000. Meanwhile, the national debt that the bill creates will be used tp pressure for cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and other programs.

Reclaim Idaho is putting our Constitution’s first three words “We the people...” back into the mouths of voters with their Medicaid Expansion initiative. What our legislators won’t do for us, we can do for ourselves.

Come and sign the petition to put Medicaid expansion on the ballot at the Women’s II March, Jan. 20, at 12 p.m. at the Sandpoint Middle School.

Luke Mayville, co-founder of Reclaim Idaho promises, “We won’t stop fighting until this government is ours again.”
