It has been quiet a long time since I posted in my blog. Since being elected Chair of the Davis County Republican Party I have had to adhere to the neutrality clause regarding political candidates. However, it is my responsibility to promote the platform and beliefs of the Davis County Republican Party. In December of 2014 the Davis County Central Committee overwhelmingly approved a resolution in support of the Utah Caucus Convention System and in opposition to the Count My Vote Initiative. Since that time I have done everything in my power to continue the fight of promoting our Caucus System. Below is an email I sent on February 27, 2014 to the entire Davis County Republican Party State and County Delegates and Leaders.

 I am still leading
the fight from Davis County to defend our Utah Caucus System. Utah has
received numerous national accolades BECAUSE of our Caucus/Convention
system, not IN-SPITE of it. The reason is because our elected officials are
accountable to the people,our delegates, face-to-face. They cannot
buy your vote with an expensive Direct Primary add campaign like CMV is
proposing.
We've had the Caucus System since Utah became a State in 1896. The Count My
Vote initiative is flawed and extremely deceptive. If passed into law it
will not increase voter participation.
Look at history and you will see that from 1937 to 1947 Utah did away with
the Caucus System. It was reinstated in 1947 for many reasons, most
importantly because voter
turnout dropped below 10% with a Direct Primary, and big
money special interest candidates outspent the opponents in the Direct
Primary. Would you like to see a candidate elected with just 10% of the
votes? That's exactly what you would get if CMV is successful, AND the
Republican candidate could actually be a Democrat!
Utah
already tried what CMV is proposing and it was a disaster! Let's not make
the same mistake twice!
If you have signed the petition you can have your name removed
from it. CLICK HERE
After completing the form take it to the Davis County Clerk.
Don't believe the
lies and disinformation propagated by the CMV gang. Follow the money
and you'll discover who is behind the destruction of our Caucus System, and
why. It is simply the UN-electable political elitists who's ideas and
beliefs run contrary to the Utah Republican Party Platform, and because of
such they know that educated delegates would never vote for them!
CMV is breaking the law and using every dirty tactic to get signatures on
their petition. On February 21, 2014 a Group called Protect Our
Neighborhood Elections gave a list of illegal activity complaints against
CMV to the Utah Lt. Governor.
