If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools."
ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS THEY WORK FOR US!
"We live in an age of soft tyranny. Our elites have stopped caring about what is good and what is noble and fully embraced sin and weakness clothed as virtue. Trust in our institutions has almost fully collapsed, and yet, as those in power increasingly expose themselves as frauds and charlatans, in what is probably the last desperate attempt to protect their undeserved privileges, their control over our lives has reached unprecedented levels."
It's up to us!
Our Republic is burning yet many of our elected representatives can’t seem to find their voice to effect change. Even the Republican Party seems to be sitting it out. This is a problem of party leadership. While the National Party has turned this around, the state, and even some county levels are in desperate need of reflection.
We the people, in Utah must understand...
Our Caucus/Convention system is the closest we will ever get to real self-government. The idea that local neighborhood groups actually have a say in who represents them in the Party business is lost on most Americans. Without the Caucus system, our ability for grass roots participation in the political process will vanish. You will be represented by the big money influencers currently attacking our conservative values and principles.
As Republicans, our stated purpose is to nominate and support the election of Republican candidates for public office and promote the principles set forth in our Party Platform.
Our governing documents contain a complete set of rules for conducting the Party’s business and establishing the rights of its members. As members, we are responsible for following these rules, and ignorance of the contents of our rules is not an excuse for not following them. We can and will be held accountable for their content no matter how familiar we are with them.
Did you know, the UTGOP Constitution/Bylaws require all Republican Candidates seeking the nomination of the Utah Republican Party running as a Republican for any federal, statewide, state legislative, or state school board office are required to sign a Candidate Certification Form declaring:
“I Have read the Utah Republican Party Platform, Constitution, and Bylaws. I support the Republican Party Platform...and accept it as the standard by which my performance as a candidate and as an office holder should be evaluated.”
These signed certificates are required by our Constitution/Bylaws to be published on the UTGOP"s web site for all to see. Guess what? ...they are not there.
We as a Party require this commitment from our candidates, so it is up to us to preserve the Party by following up and holding them accountable...and thank God we have developed the Caucus system to do so. We vet and support real Republicans and expose those who are not. If we do not use the Caucus system effectively...we will lose it and our Party will become irrelevant.
As elected volunteers we are the stewards of this awesome vehicle to self-government. Your ability to perform your role is extremely important to our success. Let’s work together to insure self-government works by holding our elected representatives accountable to our rules...the very rules they agreed to!
