● Anchor Babies: Immediately end the granting of automatic citizenship to those who happen to be born  in America by non citizens, and remove the privilege to act as anchors for immigration to all those who have already received citizenship under those circumstances.

● U.S. Relations with Israel: I do not support a two state solution for the state of Israel. I believe in a fifty-eight state solution  -  fifty-seven Islamic Republics and one sovereign Jewish State, with one Jerusalem. It is time for the U.S. Government to cease its demand that Israel trade Promised Land for broken promises.

● Border Security: We should better secure our borders by expanding the duties of the Coast Guard to become the Coast and Border Guard

● Legal Immigration: I would give preference to immigrants who first prove mastery of the English language, a thorough understanding and commitment to our founding principles, and are sponsored by American families who are willing to take financial responsibility for them during there probationary stay.

● Department of Education:  I would abolish the Federal Department of Education and publicly encourage parental control of educational choices.

● Entitlements: Get the Federal government out of the entitlement business altogether, while fulfilling the promises already given to those who truly need it.

● Illegal Immigration: Remove them from our country under the threat of confiscation of property, fines for them and those that knowingly employ them, and criminal penalties. Only allow them to apply for re-immigration only under contract to pay a general fine, and specific repayment of social services used while in the country illegally.  Exceptions could be made for some willing to honorably serve in the military.

● Taxes: I support an end to personal income tax, and a return to the Founder’s plan of taxing the states in proportion to their percentage of the national population. I do not support a national sales tax, value added tax, or flat tax – they are all contrary to the ideals of this country’s founding.  

● Money: Replace the Federal Reserve with Congressional control of our currency, and replace Federal Reserve notes with currency backed by precious metals.  Appoint Ron Paul as Secretary of the Treasury.

● Promise not to become a Career Politician: If elected, I vow to serve no longer than one - six year term, and I intend to enter into a legally binding contract in which I will forfeit my only home to charity should I break my promise to the voters of Utah. I will not have a re-election fund, or any speculative investments that might leave me vulnerable to temptations of corrupting my vote with currently legal bribery.

● Obamacare: I would repeal and replace it with a system that returns to a free market approach based on the individual doctor/patient relationship.

● Sovereignty: The U.S. needs to reaffirm its sovereignty from any global trade, finance, or political organizations that do not treat the United States as a sovereign partner, but a subservient client.

● Bonus Position: I support mandatory and random drug testing of both Houses of Congress as part of the House rules.

● Energy: I would promote responsible exploration and drilling for oil and gas everywhere in America: onshore, offshore and immediately in Alaskan, approve the Keystone Pipeline, and exploit our abundance of natural gas.

● Use of Censure and Impeachment: I believe it is the duty of the Legislative branch to exercise its powers to first censure, then impeach under extreme or repetitious circumstances, all Federal Judges and Executive Officers whenever they digress from the Constitution's founding principles. Under present circumstances of gross and blatant abuse of constitutional intent by all levels of the federal courts, and executive branch,  I believe these powers should be exercised frequently, not rarely.

● State's Rights and EPA:  I support the original intent of the 10th Amendment, and repeal of the Environmental Protection Agency while replacing it with state control of environmental concerns within the individual states.

● Federal Lands: Return all federal lands, besides those used for reasons specifically enumerated in the constitution, to state control. Utah could voluntarily enter into a pact to keep some nation parks in a new national park system that is run with representation from the states the national parks are in.  There is no one issue more important to me when representing Utah, than to win sovereign ownership of our federal lands

● Entitlements: Get the Federal government out of the entitlement business altogether, while fulfilling the promises already given to those who truly need it.

● War: I will follow the Constitution and insist that our military forces do not go to war without the support of a Congressional Declaration of War which should clarify:  who we are at war with, why, what we want to accomplish, how we will pay for it, our rules of engagement, what circumstance will end it.

1.   I forced Chris Cannon into a Primary after his first term in office by revealing the betrayal of constitutional principles in his voting record, and got the ball rolling for his eventual replacement, as he never went unchallenged in the party again.

    2.   A few weeks after seeing that I was able to force incumbent Chris Cannon into a Primary, spending just $500 of my own money, and with the help of a couple of dozen motivated volunteers (compared to Chris Cannons $500,000 and a large paid staff), the incumbent- protecting Party Leadership raised the percentage of delegate votes needed to be included in a Primary from 30% to 40%,  This turned out to be crucial in last year’s ousting of Senator Bennett, as he could not get close to the 40% needed to stay on the Republican ticket, and is our best chance to replace 36 year incumbent, Orrin Hatch this year.

    3. I made a strong political enemy of then governor Mike Leavitt by being the only person on the stage at the Utah County Republican Convention to refuse to give him a standing ovation as he came to the podium to speak.  This resulted in him making a robo-call in his own voice as a Republican Governor to tens of thousands of registered Democrats the week before the Republican Primary (which then was open to all registered voters) urging them to vote in the Republican Primary to keep any “ultra conservative” from being on the ballot in November.  This incident made the local headlines and so angered the grass root Republicans, that a few months later they were able to finally close the Republican Primary to all but registered Republicans.  Without a closed Republican Primary I doubt we would have strong constitutional candidates like Jason Chaffetz or Mike Lee serving in office today.

      4.  When Senator Bennett was instrumental in resurrecting the bail out bill and getting other moderate republicans to help pass it, I decided he had to go and I was going to help in his going, so I filed as one of his seven Republican challengers. At the first debate I was quite impressed with the quality of some of the other candidates, especially Mike Lee, but saw no one was being very tough on Senator Bennett, because they didn’t want to be branded a negative candidate.  So I decided not to focus on my own election, but to be the one that attacked Bob Bennett for his policies at each debate, and give any undecided delegates plenty of reasons not to vote for him. I even spoke to him privately several times trying to convince him to save face and retire because the outcome seemed to have been decided on the caucus night.  When I drew the speaking spot directly after Senator Bennett at the State Convention, I made the decision to sacrifice most of my time, not to urge delegates to vote for me, but to undo any influence Senator Bennett’s magic bullet at the convention, Mitt Romney, might do in influencing delegates to re-elect Senator Bennett.  Though I believe the biggest factor in the removal of Bob Bennett was the flood of patriot delegates that turned out on caucus night, I’m sure my speeches at the County and State Conventions helped limit the influence of Mitt Romney’s endorsement of Senator Bennett, even though he had won the Utah Republican Presidential Primary two years earlier with over 90% of the vote.

     5.  In the 2008 convention hundreds of delegates, whose respect I had earned, came up and asked who I recommended among the final challengers.  I had intended to stay neutral, in part because I had developed such good relations with all the other challengers I thought one might eventually put me on their staff, but I couldn’t help doing the right thing instead of putting my personal gain first, so I shared with them the several reasons I thought Mike would make the best Senator.  Most of those hundreds of delegates then told me that my one on one argument for Mike Lee was the final factor in them choosing to back him, and I believe if I had not done that, Mike Lee would not have made it out of Convention, where he narrowly missed getting eliminated by 4%.

Unveiling our new campaign button – “NO HATCH Egg Button”.  

Poignantly Anti Hatch, and purposely printed with my website instead of my name, so anyone can have fun wearing it, whether they specifically support me or not.  They will be available soon.

  The Motto, concept of “NO HATCH  37-42” inside an interdiction symbol, and using my website were my ideas.  The concept of using an egg with a crack though it as the interdiction symbol was the brain child of my campaign manger, Jay Ashworth. Drawing the egg, the final lay out,  and coming up with the nicely balanced red, white, and blue color scheme was Ron Jensen, a computer animator in my ward.
