Unitarian Univeralists are guided by seven principles which were developed through grassroots efforts and the democratic process. The Principles are not dogma or doctrine, but rather a guide for those of us who choose to join and participate in Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.
Our fifth principle affirms “The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large” Amid concerns about the health of our democracy, the Magic Valley Unitarian Universalists have recognized a need to become active in promoting actions perceived as protective of our democracy. In order to ensure that all eligible voters in the state of Idaho have a voice in the candidates who are elected, there is a move to place an initiative on the ballot that would allow for an Open Primary system, a move that appears to promote a fully democratic process.Join us this Sunday, October 29th, when Kathy Clees, a representative of Reclaim Idaho, which is sponsoring the drive for the initiative, explains the need for the initiative and the details of it.”
