Why Conservatives In Idaho Need To Get Organized

I mentioned last week that there was a bill before the legislature to prevent cake bakers and photographers (among others) from being forced out of business by claims of sexual orientation discrimination.  I signed up for alerts about movement on this bill with the Idaho legislature website, but for some reason, I received no notification that H0427 had a committee hearing.  As a result, only two people showed up to speak in favor of the bill, as opposed to forty who showed to oppose it.  (This, after gay activists blockaded the State Senate on Monday because the legislature will not add sexual orientation to the state antidiscrimination law, leading to arrests.)

I know that social conservatives are not real common in Idaho, but they need to get get better organized to let us know that these hearings are taking place.
