Disappointed in Matheson!

I am disappointed in Jim Matheson.  Maybe he used to put Utah first.  Now he is part of a political machine with misleading ads and mailers.  Leading up to the Obamacare vote, I contacted his office frequently by phone and in person.  His staff always declined to state his position, saying he was studying the bill.  At the very last minute, he withheld his support only because the democrats had enough votes without him.  He never came out strongly against the bill.  He didn't show leadership to oppose any specific parts of the bill.  This is his pattern. Instead of leading out, he goes along to get along.

Matheson is a big government guy.  He favors taking our tax dollars to Washington and then sending back a few of them with strings attached, ie. education.  Our children wouldn't suffer without the bloated Dept. of Education wasting our money with administrative costs and then giving us back a portion along with a list of mandates.  Mia Love would keep our money here in Utah and let us control our own education.  Mia wouldn't eliminate student loans, but she would eliminate GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED students loans. Obamacare actually removed private sector student loan options.  Matheson and Obama believe government is the answer.  Mia Love believes the people are the answer.  If you want less government and more freedom of choice, VOTE MIA LOVE!

Mia Love's Conservative Leadership

Mia love is a superb example of a conservative leader with innovative ideas-someone willing to listen to her constituents and their ideas.   She is not afraid of hard work to bring about positive results for local families,  her community, our state and the nation. During her mayoral tenure, some local citizens approached her requesting a library for Saratoga Springs.  Mia loved the idea of having a community library but recognized that her city was not in a position to build a library without taking on additional debt.  She felt that taking on debt was not a wise option.

Instead she pledged $10,000 of seed money if the group could organize, get their neighbors involved, raise their own funds and create a library.  These citizens accepted the challenge.  Mia joined forces with these volunteers and together they held fund raising activities, gathered book donations, etc.  It took hundreds of hours and a lot of personal sacrifice but they had a worthy goal and were determined to make it happen.

As the books poured in and the funds accumulated, they looked for a place for their library.  There was some unused space in the basement of their city building.  They cleaned out the basement, built shelves, and organized their books.  These volunteers literally created, built and staffed their library without additional city money or debt. Mia volunteered right along with other library aficionados.

Who wouldn't want a local library?  Saratoga Springs got their library without borrowing money.  What a great conservative story!  Congratulations to Saratoga Springs citizens and their mayor, Mia Love, for applying principles of self-reliance to achieve their goal!!!
