<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>According to Chair, Joann
Muneta, the goal of the Task Force is to have individuals and businesses
display these posters to show their support for human rights efforts,
especially those in the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Coeur
d’Alene</st1:place></st1:City> area where Aryan Nations flags have been
displayed and human rights workers have been harassed. “We are dismayed to
learn that the repugnant ideas of the Neo-Nazi Aryan Nations have resurfaced
in <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Kootenai</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceType>, and we want everyone to know that we all
join in the effort to keep hate and prejudice out of <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Idaho</st1:place></st1:State> and the
Northwest.” said Muneta. </P>
