     Idaho for Human Dignity, a group formed to oppose
the ant-gay initiative sponsored by the Idaho Citizens
Alliance, formed a second state chapter a couple of
weekends in Idaho Falls.
     The East Idaho chapter of Idaho for Human Dignity
involves around 40 people from Pocatello and Idaho
Falls.  The group is working on chapters in Twin Falls,
Moscow and Lewiston.
     Another group opposing the initiative, Nez
Perce/Latah County Voices for Human Rights, formed
separately from Idaho for Human Dignity.
     "People in eastern Idaho have to reach out better
to the straight community," said Robert Shaffer,
spokesman for Idaho for Human Dignity.  "There are more
friends out their are people who are opposing us; we
just have to pull them in."
