Watch the Video. Orrin Hatch Goes Ballistic. Almost Breaks his Gavel

 

 

Senator Hatch thinks his tax plan helps the poor. He is either not telling the truth or he has no idea what the truth is anymore. The Mia Love-Orrin Hatch Tax Plan is a huge transfer of wealth from the poor/middle class to the rich. The truth, from the nonpartisan Congressional tax scorers, is that taxes will go UP for everyone making $10,000-74,000 under their plan. For the Video Watch here

Trump’s Plans Leaked. Sadly, Utah GOP Officials are Thrilled as Monuments are to be Dramatically Downsized!

 

 

Utahn’s DO NOT want their recreational lands carved up and blocked off for the International Coal Companies! But that is EXACTLY what is happening under the Trump-Herbert-Love Plan. Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is going from 1.2 million acres to 700,000. Bears Ears National Monument is to be reduced to 100,000 to 300,000 acres from it's current 1.35 million acres.

Mayor McAdams Goes After Big Pharma, Attorney General Refuses

 

 

Thanks, Mayor McAdams & Speaker Hughes! Sue them. Demand justice. Thousands of Utahns have died and countless people have been addicted. Because Big Pharma conspired in Utah to increase sales by misrepresenting how addictive their drugs really were. When “unquestionably suspicious” opioid orders were requested, drug companies failed to report them. When Utahns sought relief from pain, they were instead administered addiction." Read more

 

Hatch-Love Tax Plan: International Corporations Get Huge Tax Cuts. U of U Grad Students Getting Huge New Taxes

 

 

FAIR? The Utah DC House delegation, Mia Love, Chris Stewart, etc. enthusiastically voted to give huge corporations a trillion dollar tax cut, yet, they leave struggling Utah graduate students with massive new tax bills. MORE Graduate students often teach underclass students. They receive a small cash stipend (for which they pay taxes) and the grad students also get tuition waiver in return. Under Mia's Tax Plan, those tuition waivers would be taxed as regular income, making graduate school an unaffordable proposition except for those already independently wealthy. Read more

 

“Dabakis, What the Hell Are You Doing?”

That's what a legislator asked me last week at interim. I said, I am trying to fundamentally change Utah politics. I am trying to unite a huge force of reasonable, common sense people all across Utah. Give them a voice and give them a vote. We are on our way, we now have 60,000 members of the DabakPack. We want 75,000 by the time the Legislature starts on Jan 21. In this time of Trumppocalipse our voices WILL be heard. To be heard, I NEED YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION. Will you join us? Sign up here

Sutherland President Boyd Matheson announces he won’t run for Senate, launches new leadership organization

SALT LAKE CITY – Today Sutherland Institute President Boyd Matheson announced he will not be running for the U.S. Senate and will instead launch the Sutherland Leadership Center.
 
Matheson made the announcement on KSL NewsRadio’s Doug Wright show along with a video message on social media.

I met with influencers ranging from Steve Bannon to those who would be classified as Never Trumpers. The common thread that emerged from all of my meetings was that the Trump loyalists and the never-Trump camps are completely united on one thing – their absolute frustration with the lack of leadership in the United States Senate. 
I have decided that I will not seek a seat in the United States Senate. Instead, I will focus my effort and attention on the desperate need in the nation for strengthening and building leaders while advancing real dialogue about the principles and policies that will create a better tomorrow for America.
 
In the coming months, among a number of exciting initiatives and partnerships, I will guide the launch of a 501(c)(4) organization, Sutherland Leadership Center, with a mission to train, support and empower elected officials, candidates, staff and engaged citizens with the strategies, structures and disciplines required to transform institutions, congressional offices and local communities[PW1] .
 
To me there is nothing more important. We have become far too comfortable settling for sorry excuses for leadership – and far too accustomed to the consultant-certified, pollster-approved, politically expedient election messaging we get from politicians. Instead, we need to expect and demand leaders with the skills and principles required to have thoughtful, and at times uncomfortable, conversations.
 
The state of affairs in our country indicates we are entering one of democracy’s most difficult exams – one that will require real profiles in courage from true leaders. We must elect representatives who will challenge the status quo and who won’t be content with incremental improvement to an institution in need of quantum change. Democracy demands more, and Utahns and Americans deserve better.
