Vote Cannon: The 3rd's Real Choice

The night before the Republican Primary Election in Utah's Third District and Wednesday's Child is endorsing (no surprise here folks) Chris Cannon for re-election. The reason really boils down to a couple of points: Mr. Chaffetz lives in the Second District. As hie states, a mere 12,000 feet (or two miles to you and me) from the 3rd district, so he should be able to run in the 3rd district because its close enough. Secondly, Jason Chaffetz believes that he needs to run in for Cannon's seat because Cannon isn't conservative enough for Utahns. Really? What about your representative Mr. Chaffetz? Is the Democrat Jim Matheson conservative enough for you? Because if your concern is for the conservative values espoused by so many of us, wouldn't you want to run against the more liberal opponent?

The fact of the matter is Chaffetz sees Cannon as an easier (and less expensive) target to beat than Jim Matheson. Matheson in the 2nd district is very popular and by all means has a lock on he seat for the foreseeable future. Cannon in the 3rd district has made some political mistakes, is not a "talking points" politician and doesn't possess the pretty boy looks of the post-Eisenhower politician. Chaffetz claims to be the champion of conservative politics, and very well may be that. However, he should stand up for those values in his own district and not mine (even if it is only 144,000 inches from his backyard.

Our real choice

I hope my friends in the 3rd district will join with me and vote Cannon on Tuesday, June 24th. Let's send Chaffetz packing for the 2nd district where he belongs.

Chaffetz Supporter Calls Me Today....

We have some prominent retail locations along the Wasatch Front where our company has allowed the Chris Cannon campaign to put up his signs. I received a terse call from a gentleman who decided that his candidate, "Mr. Second District" Chaffetz needed to have his signs up next to ours. I politely told the gentleman that we had endorsed Chris Cannon and that we would not be interested in allowing him to put up Chaffetz signs. The guy on the line huffed and I thanked him for his interest.

Is it just me, or don't property owners have the right to put up the campaign signs of their own choosing? Guess what? If I don't want your lousy sign in my yard I have the right to take it down.

"Hey! How come you won't put up my sign?"

We had a guy threaten to call the cops on us for taking down illegally posted signs (illegal because they put them up on our property without our permission). Of course we were popping down the Salt Lake County liberals and RINOs signs and the guy that stopped his car in the intersection was a poser with telamark skis and driving a Subaru Baja wagon (I'm certain he was on his way to meet his boyfriend). We finally had to tell this guy to leave or we were going to call the cops. He slithered away after we called him a poser and threw his signs at him.

3rd District Primary: Don't Vote Chaffetz

Like the Japanese Beetle, the invader from the North has shown up to eat its host and leave it worse off than it is. So it goes with Jason Chaffetz Jason Chaffetz. I don't have a problem with his politics. In fact, this registered Republican (don't laugh) in the 3rd district likes his platform better than
Chris Cannon. However, Cannon has one thing going for him that Chaffetz does not. Cannon lives in the 3rd district. Chaffetz lives in Alpine, outside the district he is supposed to represent. If Chaffetz is not willing to move to the 3rd district, then what else won't he do for the people who he represents?

Voters, be informed and don't vote for Chaffetz.
