If you are a state delegate it is critically important for you to attend as the candidates really want to meet each of you and find out where you stand on the issues affecting all of us every day, both GLBT issues and all issues in general. Even if you’re not a state delegate we still need you there to show these candidates who their constituents are, and how many of us that support GLBT issues will be voting in November.

The meeting will start at 7:00pm in the Saltair room in the Olpin Student Union Building. This room is in the northwest corner on the main floor past the main ballroom. Just follow the signs or ask at the main reception desk for directions. We have put together a very informative program with questions each candidate will need to respond to. After each group of questions all of you will be able to vote on weather the candidate did answer the question or not. This way the candidates will know immediately weather they answered or just skirted the issue right then, and that all the state delegate in attendance will know, too.

We have also invited all of the media and they need to see which candidates can actually answer these questions and where they really stand. Not all of our questions are GLBT related, but they are all relevant to what is happening in our daily lives such as health care, budget deficits, immigration, and more. If you really want to know where these Senate candidates stand then BE THERE! If there is a specific questions that you really want an answer to, please reply to this email with the question so we can get it included if possible.

We would like every state delegate that can attend to be there to discuss our position on issues that we want to ask the candidates.  We will be putting together a list of questions for our town hall meeting later in April – TBA.

The Utah Log Cabin Republicans are pleased to announce that Governor and Mrs. Herbert have invited our group to the Governor’s mansion for an informal reception to allow the Governor and First Lady the opportunity to get to know the leaders of the Utah LCR organization as well as many of the leaders within the LGBT community. This will be the second time that Utah LCR has been invited to the mansion. Former Governor Jon Huntsman also hosted an informal reception for Utah LCR in July, 2008. The reception will be held Monday evening, November 16, 2009 at 7:00pm.

In the spirit of Harvey Milk Jones said, “We seek nothing more and nothing less than equal protection in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states,”   Jones brought a message to Mormon leader and specifically the prophet with regards to theri role in supporting Prop 8, which overturned legal same-sex marriage in California.

“I’ve got a message for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I’ve got two words from California … I’ve got two words for the prophet … Thank you. Thank you for uniting us. Thank you for galvanizing us.”
