On Monday I was on a Zoom call with the Empowered Families Coalition. The new republican platform was talked about. There are many very good things in it, but I was disheartened that the protection of life wording was removed. It only says we oppose late term abortion. That is a concern. I wonder who was behind that.

I sent out a text encouraging everyone to text their reps a happy Pioneer Day. It is important for us to utilize opportunities where we can communicate in a positive way.

Supreme Court Limits E.P.A.’s Power to Address Water Pollution
Experts said the decision would sharply undercut the agency’s authority to protect millions of acres of wetlands under the Clean Water Act, leaving them subject to pollution without penalty.
I am so grateful for the Supreme Court. They have done a lot to soften the Impact of the Biden Administration. It is nice to see the separation of powers in action. What would we have done without them?
I spoke with Jay Valentine a couple of days ago. He is an expert in fractal technology. It is being used to clean the voter rolls. He emphasized the importance of cross-checking with another data base like property tax rolls. He told me they just released this video for Tucker Carlson.

Fractal Stopping NGO Illegal Alien Ballot Mills 2024
NGO sponsored, illegal alien ballot mills are going to flood the swing states with ballots - here is how we stop them! Relational database is blind to these - so we use quantum.
Mike and I drove down to Cedar Fort Publishers today. They are in Springville. They print our booklet, Why I Love America. They have been so generous. They print it for cost, which is 40 cents. We just ordered another 40,000 to be printed for the schools. My pray is that every youth that comes in contact with our booklet will feel in their heart the importance of the Constitution and a desire to defend it.
