6/30/11 Minnesota Government Shutdown

I just returned from the MN Capitol, a public employee rally was in progress. I located the out numbered College Republican’s. I met Ryan Lyk the MCR Chairman, a great young man with plenty of responsibility leading the thousands of MCR members.

I also met Andrew Madsen, Young Guns Coalition President. I had a special time with Andrew on an elevated political/spiritual historical level I only see in a couple adults.

6/24/11 Columbia Heights Parade

Our campaign photographer and reporter had to work on Friday 6/24/11 during the Columbia Heights parade. Peter was able tom get a few photos after the event.

Thousands of folks were in attendance for the parade, especially on 40^th Avenue as I turned off Central all I saw was a sea of people all the way down the street. I shook hundreds of peoples hands, had many folks say they are ready to support me next year and anticipate a victory.

6/24/11 Today Is 2012 Campaign Season

For serious liberty minded candidates the 2012 campaign season has started. Re-districting means a different population to reach for Election Day. Tim Utz for House needs to reach that group in 2011, 2012 is too late. Your $20.00 donation today will help reach the new voters in our district. Take a moment now and send $20.00 to Tim Utz for House 4141 Stinson Blvd NE Columbia Heights, Minnesota. Thanks in advance.

6/24/11 Simple Submission To Rules, Not For Our Representative

We had a great time yesterday at the Fridley parade; I walked the parade route in reverse prior to the parade meeting a lot of local citizens. Also the parade rules specifically stated in BOLD RED on the application on handouts, stickers or literature, yet Representative Carolyn Laine, my DFL opponent handed out hundreds of campaign stickers in direct violation of parade rules, so much for honoring the rule of law.

6/22/11 A Great Eatery "Tender Maid Sandwich shop"

I was reminded today of a great local eatery in Austin, Minnesota called Tender Maid Sandwich Shop. A great locally owned family business that has served Austin for decades. Back in March Sheldon and I just happened to make a wrong turn in Austin when we stumbled across this jewel of eating establishments.

Next time you are in the Austin area make it a point to stop in and have lunch. Let the owners know Tim Utz and Sheldon Beilke recommended you make the stop. The store number is 507-437-7907.

6/22/11 The American Heritage Series Continues Tuesday Nights

Amazing how history is diluted, changed by design to persuade groups to follow self developed power centers. Republican and Democrat parties are guilty on this subject. I learned last night the KKK was developed by Southern Democrats after Civil War; not as a race issue but to impact the ability of blacks (99% were Republican) to participate in government and run for office. Of the about 4,500 lynching’s 1,200 were whites who supported Republican blacks.

6/19/11 Father's Day For Fathers

Happy father’s day to all father’s in our network. In the civil arena we are blessed having our Founding Fathers who stood in the line of fire to provide our liberty and the greatest experiment in government. In our spiritual arena we have a heavenly father who provides eternal salvation through his son Jesus Christ. Today may we all acknowledge the blessings of the fathers who have affected our lives; then personally thank them for their contributions?

6/9/11 Arbitrary Exections Fail Value Test

I remember how celebrations erupted across the Middle East and Muslim countries after the 9/11/01 attacks in America. Crowds cheered across the globe at the devastation against America, and we (rightly so) were repulsed.

Recently, Osama Bin Laden was killed by our American Special Forces in a raid on his home. Americans, as the Muslim world did in 2001, celebrated and praised the assassination; even today Americans continue celebrating as the terror group replaces Osama Bin Laden with another leader. As the details of the raid by Special Forces against Osama became public the world learned Osama while in the presence of family, was shot twice as he was unarmed and not resisting.

Each day I spend time reading and observing events around the world; keeping up on activities of finance, business, government and religion. Today I watched a video originating from Pakistan where an unarmed non resistant civilian was basically executed by military forces in broad daylight and at a public park.

Unlike any other video, this video actually disturbed me, as armed military personal arbitrarily executed a compliant human being. There is guilt differential between Osama Bin Laden and this young Pakistani, but I share this video to show the emotional, graphic, tragic and personal reality of an arbitrary execution. Draw your own conclusion but I personally have problems with this type of execution by armed military, no matter who it might be.

6/9/11 Ron Paul Steals Faith Conference Audience

An absolutely fantastic post on a faith conference Ron Paul attended last week.

6/6/11 Principles Lost Again

Just keep chiseling away at compromising Minnesota Republican House and Senate leadership, another $110,000,000.00. Where is that financial line in the sand at this time?

Romney, Trump and Cain

I fear like Romney and Trump, Cain has too many ties to corporatism and internationalism from the business background. If a small business background candidate would toss their hat in the ring, I suspect they could properly function in government. The problem with Cain is big business like big government has unrestricted access to resources that cloud their ability to recognize bad policy, or restrictions on activities, as they just purchase their way through tough times like the trillions in Federal Reserve aid provided big business in the last 2-3 years, to big to fail approach provided more of the same, and Cain would naturally do just that.

6/6/11 Diminished Return And Government

Until “We the People” are willing to realize actual costs for each government service, and stop shifting funding for everyone’s special government pet project to supplement it, no structural changes will occur in government.

In the real world there is a “diminished return” on value for every transaction and reaching that “diminished return” level natural adjustments occur to facilitate a relational balance again.

The basic checks and balances of “diminished return” in economic principle does not exist in government; thus the purpose for our founding documents to restrict the force, power, reach, oppression and tyranny of government; to enforce this principle against government and preserve the liberty of the people. The free exchange of commerce and economic activity becomes void when government funding violates those documents devastating our Constitutional Representative Republic.
