Purpose Statement


Ad mo ne o - Latin, verb. To admonish, advise, urge.

Here you'll find a review of what's happening in Utah government - state, counties, school boards, & cities, with a focus on education - as well as what Utah's U.S. Congressmen and Senators are doing. You'll get my take on it, find links to other sources of information, and find suggestions and contact info so you can DO something. Being involved in local government is key to maintaining freedom. Find something you can do and, no matter how small, DO IT! As British philosopher Edmund Burke said, "No man made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little."

Senator Mike Lee: Standing Between Us and the U.N.

U.N. Treaties are the ultimate assault on local governmental control, and if one were ever to be ratified by the United States, it would undermine the Constitutional structure which allows us to control our own governance at the local and state levels.

Please thank Senator Mike Lee for leading the charge in the U.S. Senate to prevent ratification of United Nations treaties during the lame duck session. He has been on the forefront of the battle to resist intrusion of the U.N. into American affairs, consistently resisting these documents, which would undermine Americans' Constitutional rights.

In September, he co-authored a letter to Senate leadership with Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) - and gathered enough signatures to make it forceful - stating their intent to "oppose efforts to consider a treaty during" the rest of this Congressional session, which ends in January.

Please contact Senator Lee and thank him for standing up for our Constitutional rights to self-government.

What To Do:
Call or Email Senator Lee and thank him

All you need is a couple sentences in an email, and the same in a phone message. An email could say, "Thank you for opposing U.N. treaties in the U.S. Senate. I appreciate your protecting my Constitutional rights. Keep up the good work!" If you call, you'll get a staffer. Tell him or her, "I'd like to leave a message for Senator Lee." Then tell them to please thank him for working to oppose the U.N. treaties. 

That's it! That's all! It's important to let our elected representatives know when they're doing something right - they often only hear from those who are upset with their actions.
