We had several people at the meeting. So many capable people coming together to educate and defend our Constitutional form of government.

SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS FOR MARCH 21 TO APRIL 2ND.

*The house chamber of Washington state just passed HB 1589 that prohibits gas lines being run to new construction. If this passes the senate it will be the first state to make natural gas illegal. This is a deeply concerning development. The science that these decisions are based on are speculative at best. Please stand resolutely against these kind of policies in Utah.

* Silicon Valley Bank is the second biggest Bank failure in U.S. history. Woke agendas contributed to this failure as political ideologies were put above sound business practices. This is very sobering and a reminder why we need to insulate Utah and build up walls of Constitutional protection.

* Please look at this article about Tennessee on its way to reject federal funding for education. Now that the session is over please consider working on reducing federal funding with Utah Citizens for the Constitution. The federal funding hurts this state and it cannot continue with the insolvent federal government.

Game-Changer? Tennessee En Route to Reject Federal Education Money

*We want our children protected! We support the original version of HB 550 which prohibited any education regarding sexualality including sexual orientation and gender identity in grades k-3. This bill did not pass. We would like to see this bill proposed and passed next session.

*Privacy is essential for freedom. There are 13 states that have privacy in their Constitutions. Utah does not. HJR 22 was run to allow the citizens to vote if privacy should be added to our Constitution. It passed the house committee, but failed on the floor of the house. Let your reps know that we want privacy!

It has been a productive day. I finally have all five boys in bed. I have worked both on Constitution Month and the Impact Councils. I have four people I am reaching out to about being Impact Chairs. I am working on getting the Impact Board in place. Each board member will support ten councils. I would eventually like to reduce that number to five. I need to find people that are good with details and very dependable to serve on the board. Please let me know if any of you have suggestions.

Waters of the U.S. Rule Will Significantly Expand Federal Authority | Insights | Holland & Knight

I had a good conversation with Sam Hill on Tuesday. He is the senior researcher for the Federalism Tracker. One issue we talked about that is of great concern is the Waters of the United States new rule issued in January by the EPA. The newly issued rule is a sweeping expansion of federal jurisdiction that will allow the federal agencies to regulate virtually any wetland or stream including on private property. Another sweeping unconstitutional power grab. There are several states, including Utah, in a lawsuit against the EPA. When I make the next set of talking points I will have this as one.

I have decided to run for the state central committee on the platform of federalism. There needs to be much more of a priority in Utah to restore balance between the state and federal government.

I came up with the slogan "Jump on board with Jen Brown." It seemed to go over well. I spent a lot of time on Friday trying to find a battery operated train. Finally we ordered one online that said it would arrive between 4 and 8 am. When I got up in the morning, my husband looked at his phone and said it was on the porch. I breathed a sigh of relief.😁

It is midnight on Monday. It has been a pretty good day. We woke up to so much snow. At first they said late start for school and then they said remote learning only. I had some excited boys. Even with the kids home I was able to get quite a bit done. I worked several hours in the afternoon on Utah Citizens. I worked on the Impact Councils and spoke with a new chair in district 3 in Northern Utah. I have a phone appointment on Wednesday with a lady I am hoping to bring on as chair of district 12. We are working on the edits of the three minute video. Praying that this video will bring in many new citizens. I spoke with the chairs from District 18 about the importance of looking at voting records and the bills that reps sponsor. Talk is cheap! It gives a real insight into their priorities and set of beliefs. We are going to talk about that at our next Zoom call. I spoke with Ben Porter for an hour who has been made vice-chair for our Constitution Month committee. I'm excited to tell the Impact Councils all the plans. Good night!😴

Off to go sledding!

My second son is quite adventurous. He said he had a great time in the snow. I stayed in where it was warm.

Spotlight on Fred Hayes. He is Impact Chair of Council 1, clear up in northern Utah.

I live in the snowy town of Bear River, which is the heart of Box Elder County.
My wife, Danny, comes from Spokane, Washington and parts north and is mother to six kids, five on the Wasatch Front one in Surprise, AZ.

I have discovered a plasmodium the size and appearance of a human brain in a Washington forest.

I'm an election researcher/activist since Feb 2022, have discovered 8247 voter registrations done on weekends and 905 Vote registrations done on holidays in Davis County.

I spoke about 5-7 times in public comment this last session.

I did reach out to every household in the Bear River precinct last week with a flyer (180 homes).

Fred is very capable and involved. We are lucky to have him as part of our Impact Councils!

I sent this to Senator Weiler today.

Hi Senator Weiler,
I feel that privacy is essential for freedom. There are 13 states that have privacy in their Constitutions. Utah does not. HJR 22 was run to allow the citizens to vote if privacy should be added to our Constitution. It passed the house committee, but failed on the floor of the house. Maybe we should start it in the senate. I hope we can get this through next session.

I also sent this to Senator Weiler:

This is a good article I found:
https://theconversation.com/privacy-isnt-in-the-constitution-but-its-everywhere-in-constitutional-law-183204

I can't remember all the details, but Phil Lyman said that someone was talking to him about a lawsuit in California and they had a better case than here because California specifically has privacy in their Constitution. After what happened with Covid, and the mind numbing corruption that happened, I feel we should do all we can to protect the citizens.

I have some exciting news. I found out yesterday that David Barton is coming here on Constitution Day in September for my organization! I am so excited. For those that don't know David Barton he is the premier American historian and Constitutionalist. He has written numerous books. He is going to do a big interfaith devotional. We are still confirming the location.

Please remember to text your reps!
Jen

I worked today on our one page handout for Constitution Month. It will succinctly explain the main points of the Constitution. I am thinking I will do a short quiz on the back. I still have a ways to go, but I am off to a good start!
