State Convention - May 10th

Utah Republican Party State Convention
Saturday May 10, 2008

A big thanks to all those who supported me and helped me win the office of National Committeeman. A special thanks to Mac "Mr. Mac" Christensen who contacted many of you by phone and to Loraine Pace, my former State Vice Chair for introducing me to the convention.

Loraine Pace, and Bruce with his mouth open once again!

and thanks to my youngest daughter Hailey (left) and her friend Sydney for passing out literature and licorice, and just looking cute...

We had a fairly abbreviated time for speeches (3 minutes) so I wasn't able to give too much of my political philosophy to the convention. But, I'll keep the blog open for reports on my tenure as National Committee man over the next 4 years and will look foward to your input as well.

Why I Serve...

· To recruit men and women of character, with common beliefs and principles to serve in elected office
· To raise funds and develop resources to successfully assist those willing to enter the arena of public service
· To provide management and leadership experience to the state and national party
· To inject a strong dose of conservative thought to the national party
· To persuade others to follow the principles of:

Individual Responsibility; caring for ourselves and family, for the helpless, the weak and the unborn

Proper Role of Government; protecting our rights, not usurping them

Fiscal Conservatism; keeping the size and scope of government in line with its constitutional role

“Unalienable Rights” and “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” are not simple platitudes; they are the words that led men to establish this nation and to write an inspired constitution that remains the most important governance document in the world today.
