Bullies and Thugs, or how candidates are threatening me to take my posts down.

• CHERILYN EAGAR IS WRITING TO THREATEN ME, AN ATTEMPT TO INTIMIDATE ME, AND MORESO, SHE IS ATTEMPTING TO USE THE LDS CHURCH TO DO IT.  SHE QUESTIONS MY WORTHINESS FOR POSTING THE TRUTHFUL THINGS THAT I HAVE.  If Chairman Wright, or any other member wants to give me a polygraph, and/or would like a sworn affidavit, I am more than willing to comply and offer up this evidence in defense of Chris Stewart and the smear campaign being lead against him.  Anyone that would like to contact me about this, please email me.
  
  ***UPDATE***
  
  I am being berated by Eagar supporters for posting a private message.  Would you not post a message if a politician was engaged in Chicago type politics?  Would you not post a message from a politician if they were attempting to use your Faith to manipulate you?  Would you not post a message for the world to see if you felt it was a message of darkness that needed exposed to the light of truth?
  
  I will highlight and post items that I felt were particularly intimidating, and manipulating me about my faith.

  • Adam, I don't know you except through this Facebook communication. I have received a copy of a blog post that you wrote.
    
    I would hope that you would call me first before printing slanderous and false information.
    
    My cell is 801-592-4245.

  • Cherilyn, I have nothing to say to you. You acted unprofessionally when you yelled at me that day when I was setting up Chris Herrod's booth at the Dixie Convention center. I won't be bullied by you, and I won't be intimidated. I find your actions at Convention disappointing.

  • OKAY, Are you the man who told me "the mantle had fallen on Mike Lee and then on Chris Stewart?"
    
    if so, I will stand on my sharp words with you. I did not yell, and never have yelled. But I will not be bullied either. Yes, I did reprimand you for your rudeness and for suggesting that the Lord wants a certain candidate over another. I am a faithful, temple-going Mormon. I believe with all sincerity that I have always done and will continue to do what the Lord wants me to do. I believe the Lord wants good women in this fight and that we carry a special mantle as well.
    
    Your comment was, as I said, insulting.
    
    But I have never yelled at anyone on the campaign trail, and especially not the points that you mentioned.
    
    I have known Chris Herrod since he was a child. He is an honorable man. My family and his are respected and for you to demean and slander me and my reputation is abominable. God will be my witness for what I did and said during this campaign and at the convention. You are not my Judge.
    
    For you to call me and others evil is not what the Lord expects of us and you owe me an apology.
    
    I am confident that our innocence will be proven with time. Meanwhile, I am asking you to remove your slanderous post.
    
    If you are an honorable priesthood holder, you will have the brass to call me and humbly listen to the truth. D&C 121 is my guide.
    
    I'm available after church tomorrow.
    
    Faithfully,
    Cherilyn Eagar

  • Nope, that wasn't me, Cherilyn. What is sad is that you are rude often enough that you don't remember who I was. I have NEVER said the Lord blessed any candidate. You did yell, Cherilyn, and the nice thing is I have witnesses to the fact.
    
    I will not remove TRUTHFUL statements
    
    I will be posting this message for all to see. Using the Church to try to intimidate and bully me into calling you so you can lie to me?

Evil, Dark Politics, or my trip to state convention

I woke up at 5:30am to begin my drive to Sandy, as there were several campaigns I was helping out, and I wanted to be there early.  The trip, itself, was uneventful. I got there at 7:30am, and that's where my day really began.

Chris Stewart's booth was already up and assembled, so I started handing out fliers.  Then, I helped throw some signs together and put them on a stake.  I think we had the largest signs being walked around the Convention hall, it was awesome.

Blah blah blah, moving on.  There were speeches, and there were votes.  Electronic voting went much faster, and next time it'll really speed along after they fix the bugs.

To preface the following portion of the blog, these are events as I perceived them, and with information I had first hand (which I'll point out).

Months before Convention Cherilyn Eagar yelled at me, not just quietly talked to me, but actually yelled at me because I was voting for, and supporting Chris Stewart.  She yelled that Chris was a government sellout, and that Chris would serve his own interests, and what did an Author know about being a leader.

Congressional District 2 was asked to move into a side hall, where we could hear the CD2 speeches without disrupting everyone else.  Chris Stewart had a large following which was indicated by the sea of green shirts present.  Many people were giving speeches, Chris Stewart,  Cherilyn Eagar, Howard Wallack, Chuck Williams, and Milt Hanks.

It's the last man I want to talk about, and want to ensure that people know how honorable this man really is.  Milt Hanks began the speech with a short introduction.  He then informed the hall that Eagar, Wallack, Williams, and Clark were conspiring to bring Chris Stewart down.  They had been conspiring to release some revelation that would bring Chris to his knees.  They tried to tie Chris Stewart to a mailer that was sent out by the Bennett campaign back in the day.  There was no truth to this, and it was negative campaigning at it's worst. Milt then denounced them as dirty politicians, and even referenced a hog trough.

I salute this man for taking the brave step to stand up against Evil things, and to stand for those principles that our founding fathers, and that our God teaches us.  I'm sure that what he did was very hard to do, as it is always hard to stand up against the school bully.

Before the vote, many of us in the campaign had been told about the ABC Club (Anyone But Chris Stewart)
I also want to give a shout out to Jason Buck, whom I didn't support, but who also took a stand and turned down the ABC Club in it's attempts to attack Chris Stewart professionally, politically, and personally.  Kudos to you Mr. Buck.

The next section is where the Evil portions happen, I also want to make a statement that innocent people don't quit when accused of something, and they don't turn their back on their supporters because they were accused of something.  GUILTY people do these things.

We cast our votes (paper ballots because we had so many running in the 2nd district)  The results came back, and Chris was in the lead, with so many running, he only garnered 35 percent (I believe around there) The first vote, I believe this signaled the fear in the ABC Club, and they felt they had to act.  Cherilyn Eagar gets up to talk first, she rambles on about principles, and then resigns much to the dismay of her supporters.  There was outrage that Cherilyn would just up and quit without explanation.  Then comes Chuck Williams, who dishonors himself by calling Chris Stewart "a bald faced liar".  His mic was muted at that point, and the last he was permitted to do was resign in shame.  Howard Wallack, quick to the punch, just up and resigned, no reason given.  David Clark gave his speech stating that he didn't know what was going on, but Eagar, Williams, and Wallack standing behind him gives me serious doubt as they immediately endorsed him.

Chris Stewart got up to speak, and refuted the lies being spread about him.  He looked the delegation in the eyes, and proudly, and honorably exclaimed that he was not guilty of the things that were being said about him.  These are the actions of an innocent man, not one who is troubled by guilt.

Things move on, Chris Stewart wins the GOP 2nd CD nomination.  Everyone is screaming and crying, myself included.  We are so excited that an honorable, decent man like Chris Stewart was entrusted to lead our district, and be a representative of Utah.

A circle forms around Chris, news interviews, pictures, and supporters.  Chris gave me a hug, and told me that I was there from the start.  I won't lie, I cried.

The End of the dirty nasty politics section, now my thought for the day.
************

We are not the party of dirty politics.  We are not the party of lies and deceit.  We are not the party of mud slinging.  These are things our opponents use, and do.  Since when has the Republican party been about cannibalizing fellow Republicans and trying to destroy good men?  I think everyone involved in the attacks on Chris Stewart should be ashamed.  I think that they owe the people of Utah, and Chris Stewart a personal apology.  I think that these people should never run for office again. I am so hurt, and angry that they sacrificed principle just to keep this American, US loving, 14 year veteran, best selling author from winning the election.  I am disappointed in Cherilyn Eagar, Howard Wallack, and Chuck Williams for their actions in these matters.  I am truly disgusted at the depths to which politicians will go to win and smear their opponents.

I hope that we learn from this, and become better people for it.  I hope we learn that negative campaigning may win you a vote or two, but at the end of the day, if it costs you your soul, was it really worth it?  We need to unite behind our candidates now, whether we agree with them or not.  It's time to come together, and stop eating our own.  It's time to stop being jerks, and assholes to our neighbors and friends, brothers and sisters.  Where is the America the way it was the day after 9/11?  Where is the American helping American philosophy?  Where is the I am my brother's keep mentality?  Why have we so quickly forgotten these things?

Chris Stewart is a personal hero of mine.  He weathered the assault on his character, honor, and integrity like a real statesman.  He swam through a river of crap, and came out clean on the other side.  He is one of the most noble, honest, honorable men I have ever known, and I believe that he will be the same kind of reluctant leader that George Washington was.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Do not allow evil to triumph.

That's it folks, Take it for what it's worth.

Other items of note, Mia Love is our 4th Congressional Nominee, and for the first time in 36 years, Orrin Hatch will face a primary against Dan Liljenquist. (I favor Dan, as I believe that new blood needs to be infused into our senate)

I also want to express my personal opinion that I believe that Carl Downing, the campaign manager for Howard Wallack had absolutely nothing to do with any of these shenanigans.

Immigration and why I'm a racist.

Let me begin this post with stating quite clearly.  I welcome LEGAL immigrants to this country with open arms. I think those who sacrifice and follow the legal way to come to the United States should be welcomed as brothers and sisters.

I'm a racist, I hate everyone of Hispanic origin, or at least, what's what I'm told by people because I insist the law should be followed and enforced.  I am called a racist and hate mongerer because I have an issue with people who knowingly, blatantly break the law.  I am a promoter of bigotry because I think that American jobs should go to those who are here legally.  All of these things despite my diverse set of friends and family.  Any one that actually knows me, knows I don't have a racist bone in my body, and everyone that calls me a racist is doing so because they have no argument left, and all they have left is ad hominem attacks.

I am not opposed to migrant workers, I do want accountability for the migrant workers however.  I think they should be sponsored, and that the employer should have to post a $10,000 bond, and pay all insurance costs related to the worker.

Those who are pro illegal alien use this quote from the Statue of Liberty:

“Give me your tired, your poor, 
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"

What they generally leave out is the rest of the quote:"The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. 
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: 
I lift my lamp beside the golden door. "

Please note, it mentions a door, please use it.  It doesn't say pick the lock, or sneak in if the door is left open accidentally.

Illegal aliens bring diseases with them, they bring a criminal life with them, and they bring poverty with them.   Those who cater to illegal aliens are not doing so out of compassion, they are exploiting these impoverished people for slave labor.  The laws passed recently in Utah, specifically HB116, the Guest Worker Amnesty bill might seem like a good thing on it's face to the pro illegal alien crowd, however, what this law really does, is create a new class of slaves.  It doesn't regulate the pay, or safety for these workers, it simply prevents Utah from arresting them and sending them home.  There is no compassion in this law.

I don't care if you're purple, orange, red, white, black, or brown.  I don't care if you're Canadian, Irish, German, English, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Mexican, Brazillian, or any race, creed, or color.  If you are here illegally, you are in violation of Federal law, and have wiped your feet on the Constitution and laws that I hold dear.

What do I support?  I support the following plan to address illegal immigration:

1) Fine any business that hires illegal aliens

2) Fine any landlord renting to an illegal alien.

3)  End Entitlements for illegal aliens.  (Eventually we should end them for everyone)

4)  Secure the Border

5)  Reform immigration making it easier to come into the United States, it shouldn't take $20,000 to come here, and it definitely shouldn't take 15-20 years to become a citizen, I think between 5-10 years tops.

I believe we are a nation of laws, and we either support, uphold, sustain and obey these laws, or we do not.  If we do not uphold and sustain the laws of the land, then we cease to be a blessed nation.  Many times in the Book of Mormon and Bible cities were destroyed because they immersed themselves in iniquity, and sin.  I believe with all my heart that if we support the laws AS WRITTEN, and if we pull our country back to it's moral center, we will truly be a blessed nation again.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and we have an article of faith that states,

"We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law."
I believe in honoring this article of Faith.  It hasn't been suspended, it hasn't ever been put on hold, it isn't negotiable.  Obey, Honor, and Sustain the law, not find ways to bypass it.

We are a nation built upon LEGAL immigrants, and immigrant labor.  There is nothing honest about crawling across the border like a sneak thief.  It is time we elect leaders that are willing to make the difficult decisions on immigration, and fix this broken system.
