Pete,
Why do you insist on jumping onto the “Campaign Finance Reform” band wagon? The real issue with election reform is voter fraud. Voter registration should be on a national level, with all registered voters following the same rules which include pre-election day voter registration and showing a voter registration card and photo ID that match, name and address. It’s a simple concept. I am sick and tired of hearing about all the illegal aliens voting, people voting multiple times in states that allow election day (at the poll) voter registration and poll bussing.

Voter fraud is the real problem with elections, not the fact that you didn’t raise as much money as Orrin. Don’t confuse the words “fair” and “equal”. Socialists would like us all to think that life should be equal, it’s not. But it is fair. If we are responsible (as opposed to entitled) we will be rewarded.

One more thing. We live in a Republic, not a Democracy. No, that does not make me a Republican. An elected offical is supposed to do what is best for the common good. The public do not have access to all the information, and therefore should not base decisions on sound bites. Our job is to make cars and computers and sell things, elected officials job is to make laws based on the common good.

I’m glad someone has the guts to stand up to that a**hole Orrin Hatch. If I lived in Utah I would be voting for you. Here in New York, we’re stuck with Hilary. Although I usually vote Democrat, I will be voting for Hilary’s Green Party opponent, Howie Hawkins. Well, good luck with your own campaign, hope you win and make a difference in Congress.

Pete,
Thanks for standing up to the Republican hegemony in this state and nation. It’s time for a change. Please contact me to let me know what I can do help between now and election day.

The american government is the greatest that has ever existed only because it has the capability to fix itself before it self destructs.

Mr. Ashdown, I don’t really know you but i am interested to learn more about you. To be honest the only reason that i am here looking into your positions is because i don’t want Mr. Hatch back into office. The question i have is i hear promises and i see them broken all the time by politicians. I realize that you need to be in office to at least have a chance to live up to your promises, other than promises what do you have to offer a regular family man with a wife and 3 teenage daugthers. The things i care about mostly is taxes, common sense and honesty.

Dear “Someone Smarter”,

Nuclear power testing is not conducted on the Nevada Test Range. That is where nuclear bombs are tested. Utah and this nation paid too high of a price in cancer, autoimmune diseases, and subsequent death to ever let that happen again.

My energy policy has provisions for researching new forms of nuclear power. I hope you take some time to read it before jumping to additional conclusions.

Wow someone people don’t know anything about nuclear information. 1. Nuclear power plants are clean 2. Leading Scientists say that Nuclear Power Plants danger to people is extremely low 3. Power Plants don’t blow up they meltdown 4. Meltdowns rarely happen something has to go completely wrong 5. Only one meltdown has happened in the history of nuke power plants in Russia and that’s because they tried to do it. Get your facts straight HIPPIE!

Another issue facing America today is the continual export of jobs to other nations. Do we really need to be part of NAFTA, and the WTO?
How can America deal with the trade deficit and loss of jobs to other nations. Can you tell us your position on those issues?

Good Job Pete, I’ll be casting my vote for you in Nov.

Ben:
I don’t and won’t speak for Pete, but I will ask a question…why must these devices be tested in the midst of our nation,there is well…a great deal of atmosphere and beyond that limitless realms of space…personally I’d rather see most of these devices dismantled and disposed of in whatever is the safest means possible. Lets put the scientists to work on energy solutions or something worthwhile.
