Seperating women and children from their families and friends by allowing only men to benefit from the facilities at Community House ( AKA- River of Life) is discrimination. Forcing religion, even subtly, on the residents there so that they can get life’s basics is really a foul ball. Any group that enforces their religious practices on people trying to get lifes basics so they can escape poverty needs help!

Why is the mayor and Council spending tax payers money on defending this discrimination when he knows the majority of citizens disagree with it and that HE WILL LOSE.That money could be spent a lot more constructively.

Kudo’s to Rebecca taking a strong stand against the proposed Atlanta gold mine.This mine will be built near the headwaters of the river that supplies most of the drinking water to Boise.First they will destroy the ecosystem of a beautiful area. Secondly they will use extremely toxic chemicals in leaching ponds to extract the gold.Those poisons will eventually leak into the surrounding environment and eventually into the major source of our drinking water. I’ve seen first hand the gold mine at Basin ,Mt. and I can tell you that when those gold mines close up the area looks like a WWl battlefield after a gas attack and remains that way for years!

Contact your State and federal representatives and Mayor bieter and council and let them know that we do not want the poisons, the destructiveness, the health problems that this gold mine will infect Boise with and that you will make sure any politician voting for it is exposed and is not reelected!
