Good News For Friends of the Second Amendment!

In striking down the Chicago gun ban today, the Supreme Court breathed new vigor into the Privileges or Immunities Clause, the resuscitation of which, as you may know, continues to be much needed in America

Read the Institute of Justice Press release:

• Important U.S Supreme Court Victory For the Second Amendment

Will this important 2d Amendment victory stand; or will it be wiped out in upcoming days by pending SCOTUS Obama appointees like Elena Kagan?

Comments, Please.

Some Brief Information Regarding Tuesday's GOP Primary

For those voters who appreciate the opportunity to wield magnified political clout, Tuesday's Primary is made to order for you

We'd like to offer a quick reminder of our upcoming Utah GOP Primary, which is set for Tuesday, June 22 2010 from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

The 2010 Primary Election consists of just one race, the US Senate. This Primary is Closed Republican Primary, which means that only registered Republicans will be issued a ballot.

The two Republican contenders are Tim Bridgewater and Mike Lee. For more particular information about these candidates, we link their individual campaign websites below:

• Tim Bridgewater
• Mike Lee

Unsure of your voting precinct? Visit Lieutenant Governor Bell's Voter Information Webpage, enter your name, birthdate, county of residence and house number, and the polling place locator utility will automatically generate your precinct number and the address of Tuesday's polling place:

• Polling Place Locator Utility

Please contact the Weber County Clerk at (801)399-8034 for further information.

And remember, Weber County Republicans, due to the short candidate slate, it's likely that Tuesday's primary will have a relatively low voter turnout, which means that your vote will have a much greater impact on Tuesday than in the General Election in November. For those voters who appreciate the opportunity to wield magnified political clout, Tuesday's Primary is made to order for you.

Utah Federation of Republican Women Press Release

We welcome all Republican women and their spouses to join us tonight in a celebration of Republican Women

Utah Federation of Republican Women

Dear Republican Women,

We received a copy of the Mike Lee campaign statement regarding his withdrawal from the U.S. Senate debate scheduled for this evening 6 p.m., June 19, 2010 at Merit Medical, 1600 Merit Parkway, South Jordan, Utah.

Because we have received many questions about the discrepancies in our news release and the Lee campaign statement, we wanted to clear up the confusion.

Here is the Lee campaign statement:

"In regards to the UFRW debate, the campaign has had eight joint appearances and debates with the opponent this week alone, including four today. The UFRW changed the venue location from the neutral location of the University of Utah to our opponent's finance chairman's business. We were not allowed to insert a campaign volunteer into the question vetting process. As such, we have determined not to attend the debate, but welcome voters to attend public debates either tonight at UVU or on in Bountiful on Saturday. Details on the debates are on our website http://www.mikelee2010.com/events

Since the event location, moderator, and questions screeners were all endorsee's of the Bridgewater campaign, and we were not allowed to participate in any of this, along with the fact that there have been 8 other debates this week alone, the campaign decided to cancel this debate.

I hope this does not cause you too much inconvenience, but it was the only choice we could make given our situation.”

The event sponsors, UFRW and the RW of SLC, did not change the venue. The event was originally scheduled at the Merit Medical, a location generously provided by Fred Lampropoulos to many community organizations. The candidates confirmed their appearance at this event through their schedulers.

Neither the Bridgewater nor the Lee campaigns requested a volunteer to be involved in the “question vetting process.” An email went out to the presidents and board members soliciting suggestions. The moderator, former Governor Olene Walker, was organizing those questions.

The event organizers have not publicly endorsed either candidate.

We have extended an apology to Governor Olene Walker for any inconvenience this change may have caused. We welcome all Republican women and their spouses to join us in a celebration of Republican Women. Tim Bridgewater will be there to meet with us and to answer questions from 6 until 7:30 p.m. We look forward to seeing you tonight. Please RSVP to one of us or on our Facebook page.
