Word Salad From North Idaho Voter Services
A recent Sandpoint podcast featured an interview with the founder of “North Idaho Voter Services” (NIVS), Diana Dawson. This is one of several groups with opaque titles and innocuous mission statements which have sprouted in the recent past.
NIVS wants to be seen as being in the business of “electing qualified candidates through voter participation and providing voter information.” Innocuous enough.
To bolster its credibility, NIVS claims to have come up with “concrete information on North Idaho voter preferences”. No further details on that except non-specific wording about surveys, focus groups, polling, demographics, etc. The impression is of a carefully compiled word salad.
More than a hint where this is headed, though, is verbiage on the website implying that anyone not in line with their “research” is “far right” and “extreme”. The veil is finally lifted when you hear Ms. Dawson’s podcast statement on how she wishes voters to behave:
“Too many people are choosing candidates in the wrong way. Instead of really looking at their qualifications, they’re more concerned about their ideology or if they will support certain corners of the party.” – Diana Dawson
Are you ready to live in The World According to Dawson? Because she means to implement her pre-determined vision, and she means to do it in her “10-year plan”, as Diana Dawson announced on the podcast.
So, when NIVS shows up to ply you with its slate consisting of its “qualified candidates”, please realize the context given by the founder herself.

Sickening, these are the type of phony, dem in drag, R people, that need to be cleaned out of the R party. They’re the ones that tell people to ‘vote for the lessor of two evils’ when the base is faced with, dem in drag, Rs, the base can’t stand.
They promote what they consider, ‘electable’ professional actors and actresses, that know how to con the base. They’re not concerned on their character or where they stand, with regards to the Constitution, or the issues about freedom that the base is concerned about… no, all they care about is power and control and getting someone elected they can control and will do as they’re told.
Someone needs to put their feet to the fire, and ask for the data that they’ve collected that PROVES, what the base, wants.
Groups like this are nothing but wolves in sheep’s clothing and they’re operating in all the states.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” –Marcus Cicero
