Hi, neighbors, I’m a retired podiatrist from Twin Falls and I’m running for Congress. I want to share my ideas to protect Idaho families and help students be their best.

Let’s reward high school students to go tutor reading and math to those kids under eight who are struggling early in school. One-on-one, youth-to-youth, kids can learn better. I want free college for 9-12th graders who tutor kids two hours, three times a week.

English is crazy to learn without help.  Why does good rhyme with wood but not food? Why does comb rhyme with home but not tomb? Why does home not rhyme with comb? Try mastering all that by eight when your homeless, like some kids are in Idaho.

Why do we pay health insurance CEO’s $187,772 per day to boss paper pushers? I want healthcare for all, with a blend of private practice to provide choices, using vouchers.

Why do so many judges and cops say to protect our kids and cops, end all prohibition now?

You can watch Captain Christ explain at PeterForIdaho.com. Let’s end prohibition and tax reality.

I have been an activist on nuclear issues for 30 years now. I will debate INL scientists anytime, anywhere. I quote official hidden government safety-flawed documents.

Cecil Andrus must be rolling over in his grave. Other politicians and the Idaho National Laboratory refuse to admit their deadly plans for Idaho’s nuclear future.

Cecil Andrus had filed a Freedom of Information Act request, to see all the written plans for the tons of cancer-causing nuclear waste orphaned in Idaho.

Think about that, just like Putin’s Russia, these silent politicians think your family should not be told what the government plans for Idaho.

Cecil Andrus also asked, “Why is the nuclear Navy docking in Idaho?”

Good question.

The Navy is quietly building a $1.6 billion facility.  It would be safer, with less transportation costs and risks, to build their nuclear Trojan Horse on the coast, like Savannah River, Georgia. So, what are the real plans they’re hiding?

Why are all your politicians not demanding the simple truth? Follow the money.

But what they won’t share in writing is simply what I have said since 1988, when Idaho was told we were lucky to be chosen for the SIS plutonium laser. They were attempting to cluster all nuclear dirty work in Idaho.

When INL finally admitted that clustering was true, we had official hearings for Complex 21. Only by political pressure that was suspended but they continue piecemealing their way into Idaho.

That’s partly why politicians try to claim Idaho won the “all means all” lawsuit over the buried plutonium, to justify building more. Did you know 90% of the buried plutonium will stay buried, in this flood zone?

Idaho is too great to waste and evacuate. Please remember Idaho’s Constitution.

“All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their equal protection and benefit, and they have the right to alter, reform or abolish the same whenever they may deem it necessary.”
