Sky View High School Is Headed to the We the People National Competition in Washington DC

The Sky View High School (Smithfield, Utah) We the People Team has won the Utah State Competition held at the University of Utah and are now headed to the National competition in Washington DC this April. With no financial support from the school district, these kids are working hard to raise funds for the week long experience. They will compete against teams from each state in the union and several territories. These kids are sharp. They will be on KVNU's "For the People" today at the 5pm hour. They need our support. Please go to their link SV We the People Blog for ways you can support this amazing group of future leaders of our Nation.

My son, Jeremiah Bowen, is on the team and my Wife, Kristen, is helping by providing here handmade soaps, lotions, and lip balms for a fundraiser. Contact her if you are interested in buying some of these products and donating to the We the people team at kristen@kristenbowenstudio.com.

Peter Corroon's Campaign for Governor of Utah Comes to Logan

Peter Corroon made a visit to Logan, Utah on Saturday. Kristen and I were very impressed with how he answered the questions posed to him by the audience at the Italian Place on Federal Ave. Utah needs a leader who will fight for the interests of the people of Utah and Corroon is that leader. Check out his web page: votecorroon.com

Benito Mussolini on the Supreme Court and the Corporate Takeover

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.” – Benito Mussolini

The Corporate Takeover Of the United States

With today's Supreme Court ruling allowing corporations and unions to spend unlimited amounts of money on campaigns. Our government is already over taken by corporate backed lobbyists and now the big money in Washington is unfettered in its ability to control our Nation. Both sides of the isle have continually bowed to corporate influence. We already have a congressman and two senators in this state who are bought and paid for by Energy Solutions. Now, instead of having to hide the money donating through corporate executives, these corporations can freely purchase the politician of their choice. Invest in America. Buy a Congressman! A Nation by the Corporation, of the Corporation, and for the Corporation. The majority on the Supreme Court should be ashamed for their behavior and total disregard for over 100 years of legal history on this issue. The Banks are now able to bank roll any and all politicians who they approve of and control all media markets. Heaven help our great nation from falling into the abyss of corporate greed and corruption.

Peter Corron Announces for Utah Governor

I just attended Peter Corroon's campaign announcement in Ogden. He will be a fantastic governor for the State of Utah.

Peter Corroon to Run For Utah Governor

I am so excited about the upcoming Tuesday announcement of Mayor Corroon's announcement for Utah Governor. It was a privilege to get to know him last year during my campaign. He is an impressive administrator, leader, and campaigner. I look forward to supporting him at the convention. Go Peter!

Bishop, Bennet, & Hatch: Political Prostitution at its Worst

While Congress was voting to ban the international importation of radio active waste to Utah, Congressman Rob Bishop was taking some high school students on a tour. It is clear that Bishop's sugar daddy is Energy Solutions. They must have given him a bye on the bi partisan vote last week so he could have some political cover. Our dear Senator Bennett would love to put the breaks on the bill in the Senate. Wait, Bennett has taken thousands from the execs at Energy Solutions as well. We will never get our country back to the basic founding principles as long as this blatant political prostitution continues.

Watch and then please, take a moment to make a secure online contribution to the campaign to elect Morgan Bowen. Even $10 could make the difference between more of Rob Bishop's failed leadership, and a representative who will stand up for Utahns instead of corporate interests.

$700 Billion Stickup

These are my thoughts on the $700 Billion Dollar Stickup

Bowen to Bishop on Energy and Spending: Where Were You Three Years Ago?

Right on the heels of Friday's debate, a great article in the Salt Lake Tribune today, defining the differences between Morgan Bowen's suggested policies, and Rep. Rob Bishop's blind towing of the GOP party line. On the energy crisis:

Three-term incumbent Bishop has run several bills this year focusing on rewarding conservation, increasing production of traditional fossil fuels and alternatives and building refineries, pipelines and power lines to create and distribute energy.

He wants to see an immediate increase of leases for oil shale production and oil drilling in offshore locations as well as in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

"There has been once again an arbitrary prohibition against [off-shore drilling] everywhere but the Gulf of Mexico. Even the Democrat side realizes there is not enough supply," said Bishop, a former Brigham City high school teacher and Utah House speaker. "In ANWR, we know there is oil there and a lot of it. There is no logical reason why it shouldn't be done."

Bowen, a high school LDS Seminary teacher from Logan who has never held a public office, has his own plans.

He would also like to see America wean itself from foreign oil. He is OK with drilling on public land, and he wants to provide incentives for oil companies to drill on leases they already have. He also wants a much greater focus on renewable energy, such as wind and solar, and agrees with nuclear power in places that have more water available than Utah.

His biggest disagreement with Bishop is over the timing of the bills.

"Where was Rob Bishop two or three years ago?" Bowen said. "We lost a lot of opportunities."

Good question. The article also describes how Bowen distinguishes himself from Bishop's excuse making on importing radio-active waste into Utah, and the spending and deregulation without oversight that lead to our current economic troubles. Read the rest here.

Going the Rounds With Bishop at the 1st District Debate

The first 1st District Debate is over. The debate was held at the Hub in USU's Student center. There was great energy and great questions asked. Long before the debates I insisted that the Libertarian and the Constitution Party be represented. Will post segments as soon as they are available to view. Here is a sneak peak.

A YouTube Message from Morgan Bowen: The First Debate

A special message from Morgan, who will square off against Rob Bishop on Friday at noon in the HUB of the USU Taggart Student Center in the first debate of the race to take back District 1.

Got Signs?

We just picked up a large order of our new lawn signs. And they all need homes. I recorded a training video, posted on YouTube, that will give the details about sign locations, placement , and legalities. Please take one for your home and set a goal to place many more with your friends and neighbors.

Signs may be picked up at the Salt Lake County Democratic HQ, the Davis County Democratic HQ on Main and Gentile in Layton, the Logan HQ at 55 W Center or email and we can deliver if necessary. The signs are free but if you have a little (or a lot) of money to donate, to help offset the cost, I welcome it.

With your signs, be sure to place them on private property with permission and stay away from putting the signs along the freeway or on public property.

Several of our signs have been stolen. Please, let’s take the high road and not tamper with my opponent’s signs. For those out there stealing our signs, please don’t steal. Not only is it against the law but it shows a lack of integrity. Remember commandment number 8:

Thou Shalt Not Steal!

Happy sign placement.

-Morgan

Power Up America - The Future of Energy Tour

Starting this week I will be traveling to various parts of the state to learn more about the Utah's role in the future of energy independence. Last week we attended the Pickens Plan meeting. This week we will be visiting Solar Unlimited, a solar energy company in my wife's home town of Cedar City, Utah. We will also be visiting the wind power turbines in Spanish Fork. I will keep you posted on the visits as we move toward a real and sustainable energy policy for America.

IOU.S.A and Bishop's 6 Year Borrow and Spending Spree

A clip from IOU.S.A from BowenforCongress.com:



And Bishop has the nerve to call himself a fiscal conservative.

Help Morgan Fight.
