Wimmer is a Winner

Okay, that title is really cheesy, but I just had to go with it.

Let me first of all apologize to Carl Wimmer for giving him second billing on my review of Tuesday night’s meeting.  But I figured that most of my readers are more interested in Chaffetz and don’t know who Wimmer is.

However, I have appreciated Wimmer’s work at the State Capitol for longer than I even knew that Chaffetz was in politics.  So, I appreciated meeting with him two days ago.

Wimmer is an absolute fiscal and social conservative.  It is very hard to find something that we disagree on.  Actually, while sitting at the convention in May I was suprised to see that there was one vote that he made that was opposite of mine.  But it’s good to see that we aren’t 100% on every issue.

In the meeting Wimmer stated that he asks himself one question before voting on every bill.  He asks himself, “Is this the proper role of government?”

In the past two years I have known Wimmer, he has reference The Law, by Federic Bastiat.  Upon his first reference to the book, I printed out the online book and read it.  I have meant to post about it for a while, but there is so much to discuss, I haven’t taken the time to put it all on paper, and I would have to reread it at this point.

Wimmer’s refernecing this book is just further evidence of Wimmer’s conservativism.  His record is also evidence as well.

The first time I heard of Carl Wimmer was about 2 years ago, when I was considering who to vote for in the State House of Representatives.  I am afraid, that my vote then was rather uninformed, but well made.  I am glad that I have help to elect Wimmer once, and I am honored to work with him and get him elected again.

Yesterday I help Wimmer to set up a facebook page for people to show their support.  If you want to support a true conservative, then help us through by supporting him on the facebook page.

Chaffetz: Principled Representation

Last night I took the opportunity to attend a “cottage” meeting with Jason Chaffetz and Carl Wimmer at the Riverton Library.  Again, my enthusiasm for these two candidates was renewed.

I have worked on only three campaigns in my entire life.  Okay, I am still relatively young, and three is probably more than most people work on.  However, my point is that I won’t campaign for a candidate unless I believe that candidate has the same principles as I do.

That’s why I am working on the Chaffetz campaign.  He speaks to the things that are important to me.

Jason Chaffetz is a fiscal conservative.  He backs it up by the way he has run his campaign.  Debt free.

Jason Chaffetz is principled in his approach to serving Utah.  He told us how he was approached by an unnamed legislator who offered him a seat on a prominent (my words not Chaffetz’s) committee if he was able to raise a large sum of money for the Republican Party.  While the carrot dangled in front of him, Chaffetz simply knew that he wouldn’t bite.  He wasn’t willing to buy his way in politics.

This is huge to me.  Chaffetz isn’t afraid to go against the flow.  It has been known for a long time that things need to change in Washington.  Finally, we have a nominee who will fight for that change.

Jason Chaffetz will fight for a diverse energy policy.  This includes drilling for oil in the United States, developing energy technologies, and creating safe nuclear power.  It’s refreshing to hear that from a candidate.

Jason Chaffetz will protect our nation.  He will provide our soldiers with better benefits to help the best to keep up the fight.  He will protect our borders by fixing legal immigration and keeping those with out permission out of our land.

I am sure that many of you have heard this before about Chaffetz.  And I really don’t want to repeat myself too much.  However, I am reinvigorated in my support for Chaffetz, that I want you to take the time to find out for yourself.

If what I have said hasn’t helped you then check out the campaign website.  But more importantly, take some time to meet with Jason Chaffetz the next time he is in your area.

One Hundred Push Ups

I am going to start this training program next week.  I am currently nursing a sore shoulder after throwing it out during a volleyball game, so hopefully, it will healed by this Saturday.

I will try to report in a few times over the next couple of weeks and let you know how it goes.

My estimation is that I am at a level 3 based on the intial test, but that was from push ups that I used to do 6 months ago.  I haven’t been doing them lately, so I might not do it quite as well.

Being at level three, this means that I would have to do the more rigourous training program, but I think that I could do it.  If the muscle development happens like they say it will.

I have been running/walking three times a week for the past few months (almost every week since the beginning of the year.  So, hopefully, this will be a nice addition to exercise program.

I would live to have you join me.  If so, let me know, and we can keep tabs on each other.  But not in a competative way.  Just as a help to one another.
