Christian Exodus leader Cory Burnell says his group is expanding its mission to create a community of people working to limit government to Gem County, Idaho.
The organization targeted Anderson County, SC as its first community, but only about 15 families have relocated here.
"The Idaho contingent is an expansion, not a redirection, of our project," Burnell told the Anderson Independent-Mail in an e-mail. "We had several committed CE members approach us about the good things happening in their Idaho communities and the number of Westerners they're running into who'll not ever move to S.C., but who agree with our strategy of focusing on county and state reform as a means of achieving federal reform."
Burnell, who lives in California, founded Christian Exodus in 2004 in the hopes of moving "thousands of Christians to South Carolina to re-establish constitutionally limited government founded upon Christian principles."
He has said he chose Anderson, SC because there already were so many like-minded people here.
Paul Smith, the volunteer organizer of Christian Exodus in Idaho, says the expansion is made up of a few families already involved in the movement in Idaho. The group's members there all are families who already were in the Gem County area.
Best wishes to them. Personally, I love seeing pictures of Idaho :-).
Something to consider. BTW, does this part of Idaho have snow?
Interesting, pinging Idaho list holder
