One Utah

As the lung-piercing Shroud of Doom settles again into our happy valley, thank your friends in Congress and the Utah legislature for doing virtually nothing. Their ignorance and inaction is not only killing us literally. It’s killing us economically. Clean energy research firm Clean Edge’s annual Energy Trends report predicts a 39% revenue increase for [...]

From Carrie Ulrich on Democracy for Utah:

From the Utah Democratic Party:
While Democrats were hard at work making significant and needed changes in the halls of Congress, Utah Representatives Cannon and Bishop were petulantly voting against the interests of the American citizens and the clear wishes of their Utah constituents. Instead, they are lending their [...]

For the convenience of those not fully aware of the full extent of the shameful hypocracy of the Republican Party AS A WHOLE, I give you the record.
THE PRESIDENT’S TRIAL ; From the Prosecution: ‘The Rule of Law Should Apply to Everyone’
Published: February 9, 1999
Following are excerpts from the presentations today by the House [...]

…at least when the President is getting some.
Following are excerpts from statements of House members debating a recommendation by the Judiciary Committee to allow the committee to begin a formal impeachment inquiry into President Clinton’s conduct.
Rep. Chris Cannon (R-UT): Senators, we as Americans and legislators have never supported a legal system which has one set [...]

Monday the Utah legislature passed “Plan L”, which provides for a fourth district for Utah in the United States House of Representatives. But it doesn’t look like Congress is going to vote on “the compromise plan”, also giving Washington D.C. a seat in the House, this year.
Chris Cannon definitely wants to vote on it [...]

I’m really conflicted on this race. I badly want Christian Burridge to win. On the other hand, I hate to see Chris Cannon get off “scott free” for his particpation in advancing the distructive policies of this congress and the Bush administration (not to mention his own unethical conduct). In a very dark way, [...]

From Utah Democrats
Last night at the BYU 3rd Congressional District debate, Republican Rep. Chris Cannon made claims that the President of the United States is hiding a learning disability.

So, either Rep. Chris Cannon is under the impression that a learning disability is something that should be hidden and ashamed of, or, he just joined [...]

Hell, for $10.00, I’ll endorse Mr. Cannon and quickly enrich Christian’s campaign fund.
But Christian must assure me that, as his first name implies, he can fix it with God so that my endorsement of Mr. Cannon does not violate the Christian injunction against oaths, giving unto Caesar the things that Caesar already owns, supporting an [...]

This could be the easiest $10 you ever made. Give a quick listen here.
Tom Grover and KVNU are giving away $10 A&W gift certificate to anyone who can identify an elected official or advocacy group in Utah that endorses incumbent Congressman Chris Cannon UT-3. The contest runs through tonight. Here’s the audio ad.
KVNU 610am [...]

Governor Huntsman refuses to endorse Chris Cannon. So have Utah Senators Hatch, Bennett and virtually ALL other high-ranking republicans in Utah.
Maybe it’s because of Cannon’s endearing pleas of leniency for his former Chief of Staff David Safavian or Cannon’s repeated bigoted comments, or maybe it’s because of Cannon’s own ethics problems that no one will [...]

Rep. Jim Matheson: In favor of real-life arbitrary arrest and torture of Americans but against fictional computer games like Grand Theft Auto.
LaVar Christensen: If the Democrats regain control of Congress they will surrender to terrorists, cause rising gas prices and falling moral standards, and even bring back the “hated death tax.” (We’ll be lucky [...]

Christian Burridge gave Chris Cannon an ass whoopin’ on KSL, Tuesday I think.
Part I - Part II - Part II
This is the one where Cannon says no one in Utah is on minimum wage and if they are they need to go back to school and get a better job. You can watch just that [...]
