$700 Billion Stickup

These are my thoughts on the $700 Billion Dollar Stickup

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.

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.

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.

Happy Pioneer Day from my father Morgan Bowen

Morgan Bowen Speaks out against Energy Solutions

My father just released this Video speaking out against Energy Solutions and their recent campaign contributions to Rob Bishop. Just this last political Cycle, Bishop has recieved around 28,000 Dollars in contributions from Energy Solutions Political Action Group and CEO's.

Bowen calls on Bennett and Hatch to stop Retro-active immunity

A little while ago my father (Morgan Bowen candidate UT CD-1) called on Utah's senators Bob Bennett and Orrin Hatch to Vote to stop retroactive immunity to telecoms. Pity they didn't listen, I agree with my father, Congress is eradicating our constitutional rights.

HYDE PARK, UT: (UT CD-1) Democratic Candidate Morgan Bowen again today blasted what he calls "government run amuck." On the day of the US Senate's vote on whether the Congress should grant retroactive immunity to telecoms that cooperated with the government's illegal and unconstitutional domestic spying program, Bowen released the following comments:

"I urge Senators Hatch and Bennett to protect the Constitution and to vote on this bill with the rule of law foremost on their minds. Illegal and unconstitutional acts should not be forgiven, long after the fact, regardless of excuses, or party pressure.

"Members of the Utah Congressional Delegation, including a member of my own party, have already shown unfortunate judgment on this bill and, because of the surrender of their oath to protect the Constitution, set adside by these US House members, Hatch and Bennett have the opportunity to stop this egregiously un-American bill.

Morgan Bowen on the Issues: Defending our Constitutional Liberties and FISA

Here are a few words on my dad's opinion of FISA and retro-active immunity.

Benjamin Franklin said “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."

As a candidate for the United States Congress, I oppose granting retro-active immunity to telecommunications companies - who willingly broke the law, when so many others refused to do so - and the illegal wiretapping of American's on the notion that no entity or body of government is above the law, according to our Constitution. While we do face serious threats to our national security, I believe it is possible to combat these threats without the erosion of our most basic liberties, and the protection from an invasive government body that the founding fathers made great efforts to include when drafting the Bill of Rights. This administration's and our current congressman’s thinly masked agenda to grant retro-active immunity and remove oversight from the surveillance process is not so much about protecting American's from realistic threats, but rather protecting this administration, and the representatives who supported them from accountability and their sworn duty to uphold our constitutional rights as American citizens.

Thomas Jefferson wisely said: "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

It is time for our Utah values of respect for the United States Constitution, liberty, and a just and free America are defended once again.
