The Pledge: Idaho Lawmakers' Commitment to Shared Values

The Citizens Alliance of Idaho champions the core values that unite Idaho residents, transcending political party lines. Central to their efforts is The Pledge, a concise set of ten commitments inspired by both the Idaho State Constitution and the United States Constitution.

When an Idaho legislator signs The Pledge, they formally commit to upholding these ten principles. These commitments are grounded in the "Declaration of Rights" section of the Idaho Constitution and the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution, which together establish the fundamental rules and values agreed upon by Idaho citizens.

By endorsing The Pledge, lawmakers agree to a clear, fair, and reasonable standard that enables Idahoans to evaluate their elected representatives based on adherence to these shared constitutional principles.
