*Of these four organizations only one was worthy enough for my opponents vote, the NRA. What made the NRA more worthy then breast cancer, stroke rehabilitation, Idaho's Vets, or Idaho’s history?
As a self-proclaimed advocate of health care reform, why did my opponent vote against two efforts to promote the public’s ability to financially contribute to health care issues?

*There was no increase in the minimum wage for average workers this year. All but one of these individuals is a Republican (the exception being Dr. Marilyn Howard, Superintendent of Public Instruction). Could it be that if the bill failed, none of the above mentioned Republicans would have received a pay raise?

While this is by no means a complete report of Janice McGeachin's voting record in 2006. These are some of the more interesting votes of this past session.

I feel that if you take the time to review these votes for yourself you will see as I do. That Janice has not always truly been concerned with the citizens of Bonneville County.
