Idaho Liberty Project
Who decides in Idaho
Examining where government authority ends and civic liberty begins.
The Idaho Liberty Project is an independent, Idaho-based civic education project focused on analyzing legislation, voter authority, and the limits of government power. We examine how laws shift decision-making between voters, legislators, and the state — without telling people what to think, only encouraging them to think.
How Power Actually Works in Idaho
Most laws in Idaho are decided by a small number of people — and often by a much smaller number of voters.
Many Idahoans don’t realize how legislation moves, who has authority, or where citizens still have a voice.
The Idaho Liberty Project exists to make that process visible.
We break down legislation, resolutions, and ballot measures in clear, plain language so everyday Idahoans can understand:
Who is making the decision
What authority they actually have
Where citizen oversight still exists
How those decisions affect real people — not just politics
Clarity
We translate legislation into language people actually understand.
Transparency
We track where authority exists — and where it doesn’t.
Citizen Focus
Our work is built for everyday Idahoans, not insiders.
What Makes Idaho Liberty Project Different
Most political information is designed to persuade, not explain.
The Idaho Liberty Project is different.
We don’t tell you what to think, we show you how decisions are made, who has authority, and where citizens still have a say.
Our work focuses on:
Plain-language bill analysis — no legal jargon, no spin
Clear explanations of authority — state, federal, and constitutional limits
Transparency in process — not just outcomes
Respect for independent thought — informed citizens, not talking points
Whether you vote regularly or not at all, understanding how power works is essential to preserving liberty.
About Idaho Liberty Project
The Idaho Liberty Project is a citizen-focused initiative dedicated to making government power understandable, visible, and accountable.
We believe liberty is best protected when people understand how decisions are made, who has authority, and where citizens still have a voice.
Too often, legislation is discussed only after decisions are already made — and in language that excludes everyday people. Our work exists to change that.
By breaking down laws, resolutions, and voting outcomes in plain language, the Idaho Liberty Project helps Idahoans see how governance actually functions — not just how it’s described.
We are not a political party, lobbying organization, or campaign.
We are an educational resource for anyone who believes informed citizens are essential to a free society.
