Why should voters select you to be their governor?

The voters should select me because I have the solution. The first step is to identify the problem. The problem is not insufficient government money for education. It is not insufficient government programs to provide jobs. It is not insufficient government oversight of business or public morals. The problem is too much government. Between the Civil War and World War I, Americans were relatively prosperous, relatively peaceful and relatively free. Our economy doubled about every ten years. Those with ambition, and willing to work, were rewarded by the natural laws of the free market place. The government was too small to prevent these natural consequences of free people working to solve their own problems. Thus, the solution is very simple: get government out of the way. The Constitution is a small box and my plan is to reduce the size of government until we can fit it back into the box it came in.

What we do as a society and what we say we believe in our Constitution are very different things. The gap is so wide we are becoming schizophrenic. I will organize commissions to examine our unconstitutional laws and programs. Then, I will work either to amend the Constitution or to amend the laws until the gap can be closed and the oath of office is no longer a hypocritical joke. I will challenge the Federal Government's right to abuse Utah and Utahns in violation of the Constitution. For more reasons, visit my campaign web site:
