Here’s what Idaho Freedom Action is
From a Jan. 10 column by Chuck Malloy, Idaho Politics Weekly (notice my mention in the 2nd paragraph):
Officially, according to Hoffman, Idaho Freedom Action is not a PAC. But it promises to hold lawmakers accountable, and it may endorse candidates. It’s a good guess that Keough will spend plenty of time on the firing line.
Hoffman issues a strong call to arms, expanding his scope to “lefty journalists” who promote big-government ideas through their works. He goes after the Spokesman-Review’s Dave Oliveria for undermining conservatives and getting them booted from office. He blasts Randy Stapilus, Idaho’s political guru, for referring conservative followers as “extremists.” Hoffman says the Idaho Statesman’s Rocky Barker “openly mocks those of us who believe the federal government shouldn’t lock up and let our land burn every summer.”
For reporters, criticism from Hoffman is tantamount to receiving a lifetime achievement award. But Hoffman doesn’t stop there. Idaho Freedom Action, he says, “can use the full weight of its resources to get lawmakers and the public to support or oppose legislation having an impact on freedom and liberty in Idaho.”
