No Christians in Command of - Idaho National Guard

From Idaho Family Policy Center:

"In late August, our friends at Liberty Counsel broke the news that an infantry officer in the Idaho National Guard was removed from command because he shared his conservative Christian beliefs on his private Facebook page.

Idaho Family Policy Center launched an action alert, and nearly one thousand Idahoans just like YOU asked Governor Brad Little to reinstate the officer to command. In response, Gov. Little emailed a form letter to everyone who had completed our action alert. He explained the situation was being handled at the federal level—but his letter didn’t tell the whole story.

Over the past month, we have been in regular contact with the governor’s office, the Idaho National Guard, and Liberty Counsel. After much communication with all involved, we can confirm a few things.

To start with, the infantry officer was indeed removed from command with pay, pending the results of the ongoing federal investigation.However, the governor is still the commander-in-chief of the Idaho National Guard. He retains the jurisdictional authority to restore the officer to command, although doing so could jeopardize some federal funding for state national guard programs.

If the governor decides not to reinstate the officer, we hope his office will provide a statement explaining the reasoning behind this decision. Until then, there's still time to send your message asking Gov. Little to reinstate the officer!
