7/30/12 Campaign Trial Update #63

We had an unexpected family event that changed today’s plans. Nadine and I spent time together attending a special event. Being later in the evening when the event was completed, we decided to visit 20 plus year friends who live in South Minneapolis.

During the time together the question was asked about donation limits for this year. After a short explanation the husband opened his checkbook and donated $500.00. I will remember for decades this couples kindness today in preserving the Republic.

Again Thank-You two dear friends of more than two decades, you rock and lighted up our world tonight. Join this couple and make a donation in any amount up to $500.00 per person at www.timutzforhouse.com.

7/30/12 Campaign Trail Update #62

7/30/12 Campaign Trail Update #62
By the numbers; today Tim Utz for Minnesota House 41-B filed the required Pre-Primary Financial Report with the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board.  The information is public by law and every political candidate for office must file when spending over a specified dollar amount, for the Minnesota House the amount is $100.00. The public reports are available after 8/1/12 at http://www.cfbreport.state.mn.us/rptViewer/viewRptsCan.php   
Our campaign is financially hindered resulting in stifled campaign operations because local active conservatives within the Republican Party choose, unlike previous elections (see figures below) to sit on the sidelines and not support our campaign this year even though as a matter of principle and predictably I changed party affiliation in 2011. In spite of the conservative activists distancing our campaign the Tim Utz for Minnesota House 41-B is more popular than ever within the general voting population, recognized everyplace we go as never before, and now are receiving appearance requests.
In fact, as a Republican in 2010, Tim beat every other Republican candidate on the ballot including gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer by over 600 votes. The candidate’s conviction of sticking to government compliance to the Republic form of Constitutional restraint and actually voting as such; along with not carrying the water bucket for any specific political party has produced a lead for Tim in District 41-B.
Voters from across the political continuum might not agree with everything Tim stands for, but know his positions, being rooted in our constitution, is predictable, reliable, and deserving of their vote on Election Day 2012. The data below reflects the rejection of this campaign by self proclaimed conservatives in HD41-B.

Campaign income March through July 2008
$7,332.73

Campaign income January through July 2010
$18,596.00

Campaign income January through July 2012
$2,011.85

7/30/12 Campaign Trail Update #61

Yesterday we sent an appeal to supporters for $150.00 St. Anthony Golf sponsorship. An hour ago my father, who lives in California, called while eating at a local marina restaurant asking about the sponsorship. To my surprise my father said put me down for the full amount, I will send you a check.

I offered some photos of the event for his memories, he kindly chuckled said I love you and talk to you later. Commitment is taking ideas and converting those into action. Thank you to my father, living in California, for supporting his only son.

7/24/12

Tonight a life long Republican unexpectedly visited us at “The White House” making a personal donation of $20.00, welcoming me to the new HD41-B and sharing his disappointment the Republican brand has self tarnished. He is glad for a real conservative option on the ballot come Election Day.

We thank this individual for coming forward and supporting Tim Utz for House 41-B, regardless of political party affiliation.

7/22/12 Campaign Trail Update #56

Today, Sunday July 22, 2012, while we traveled the district in the campaign bus giving out yard signs to a political cross section of voters, our Republican challenger desperately hosts a last minute fundraiser hours before a state imposed deadline for receiving state campaign aid, and our Democratic challenger sits on thousands of dollars in special interest donations that have reciprocating Legislative obligations. The Tim Utz for House campaign, clearly the frontrunner for the HD41-B seat, has a couple illustrative stories from today’s adventures.

Sample 1, A home we returned to, whose owners knew of my candidacy for House from previous elections, welcomed our visit. After a few minutes of fun conversation around their front porch the couple gladly accepted our yard sign. The unusual experience here is their vehicles parked in the driveway had Obama bumper stickers; showing the strength of our campaigns honest heartfelt message of freedom, a popular across political party prerequisite for a November Election Day victory.

Sample 2, When we returned to “The While House” Nadine informed us a someone called inquiring for yard signs, explaining she just missed our bus passing her yard and wanted a yard sign. Within minutes our team was back on the road delivering the requested sign.

In conclusion while the Tim Utz for House campaign and I personally, place at our forefront a heartfelt mission to lead our community back to principles of our Constitutional Republic foundations; the Republican and Democrat candidates in HD41-B give eloquent oratories on the constitution in “letters to the Editor”, at public engagements, in their official capacities as public servants, or on their websites; yet their public Legislative and School Board voting records smack of disingenuous honesty promoting a philosophy contrary to Tim Utz for Minnesota HD41-B campaign.

7/20/12 Campaign Trail Update #55

Here we go folks our few minutes of public fame walking the Columbia Heights parade in June. We had a fantastic group of volunteers who joined the parade route walking with us. The crowds were fantastic, greeting me and enjoying a closer look at the green bus. Additionally, i especially appreciated the kind comments by parade Emcee’s.

Although we missed the St. Anthony Parade application deadline for lack of campaign donations; we are paid for and fully engaged in the New Brighton Parade on Thursday August 9, 2012 at 5:30pm set up and 6:00PM parade start. We invite folks to join us for the last parade prior to Election Day by letting us know of your interest at contact@timutzforhouse.com

7/18/12 Campaign Trail Update #53

Wednesday 7/18/12 I met with a local union member resident who was shocked to learn I am a carpenter’s union member. He assumed from seeing the (green) campaign bus I was a tree hugging liberal and had no time for such. After a couple hours of discussion he stood up opened his wallet and handed our campaign a crisp new $100.00 Federal Reserve Note, pledged to share with fellow union member, neighbors about supporting our campaign and voting Tim Utz on Election Day 2012.

Lessons learned today; never judge a candidate by his campaign bus color, always take time for citizen questions and join the winning campaign for HD41-B in 2012, Tim Utz for House.

5/17/12 Campaign Trail updates #51

I participated in the St. Paul Pioneer Press candidate open house and marketing session on Tuesday evening July 17, 2012. The event had several components to including offering a candidate photo session for future news publications by the paper where a candidate’s photo would be used, the papers now has on file candidates 2012 photos.

Also the presenters and Pioneer Press staff were the actual department directors, key decision makers for the paper. The many aspects of marketing and reaching voters were presented to the assembled candidates. The Pioneer Press provided refreshments, cookies, and munchies for their guests.

Our campaign focused in on a couple key presentations that might benefit our 2012 Election Day victory; I personally thank the Pioneer press forward thinking concept of sharing marketing opportunities with candidates and the exceptional efforts provided to make candidates welcome.

7/17/12 Campaign Trail Update #50

Tim made a presentation today to the Carpenters Union endorsement PAC board and other carpenter union members on Tuesday July 17, 2012.

Tim presented the concept we no longer are at odds over Right against left, union against non-union, poor against rich and so on, but the battle as for the very soul of an American Constitutional Republic our founders gave their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to establish. Tim stated he is the only union member running for HD41-B and asked his fellow union brothers and sisters to place their confidence in his campaign to restore sound principles of government to St. Paul.

There was a Q&A period where several thoughtful questions were asked including was his construction company started on 2004 union, to which he responded yes, and where he stood on several legislative actions in the last legislative session.

7/16/12 Campaign Trail Update #49

In my attempt to keep our supporters (and those who would do us harm) fully informed we share the good and bad of campaign season 2012.

Today is one of those bad days. After several requests to secure donations from supporters for $150.00 to enter the St. Anthony Villagefest Parade, today (the last day to submit application) we officially withdrew from participating in the 2012 event. For the first time in 5 years, we could not raise $150.00 to pay a parade entry fee from supporters.

Disappointing as this decision is it was the correct decision and will help harden my resolve when elected to STAND firm resisting temptations to spend and borrow the citizen’s resources through taxation to fulfill non Constitutional state functions.

7/15/12 Campaign Update

We are providing one last reminder before tomorrow’s deadline. Monday is the last day for entering the St. Anthony parade this year and we currently do not have the funds for the fee. The fee charged for political campaigns is $150.00. We are asking for folks to make donations to cover the parade admission fee.

Because of the short time period folks willing to make donations toward this campaign expense need to stop by our home, personally dropping off a donation before noon Monday, thus allowing time to make a bank deposit and drive to St. Anthony delivering the application and admission fee before 4:00PM Monday.

After noon Monday we are skipping this years St. Anthony parade and moving onto raising support for other upcoming events.

In the next couple weeks we have 8-9 event application deadlines covering a series of campaign events through August having related expenses like the St. Anthony parade with an aggregate cost of $1,500.00; all considered critical to successful marketing of Tim Utz for House 41-B and a victory on Election Day.

Hope to see you before noon Monday, and stay cool considering the weather forecast the next 48 hours.

7/15/12 Donations

Yesterday while talking to 2 people on separate occasions they took out their wallets and handed Nay a $20.00 bill. To those two generous supporters we say thank you for investing in a Tim Utz for Minnesota House 41-B victorious Election Day.

7/13/12 Consideration for Today

Minnesota, a sovereign free state of citizens granted their civil, religious liberties from our God and loyal to a Republic form of self governing individuals; Minnesota voluntarily joined in union with like minded peer states forming a subordinate, to the people of said states a national civil government temporarily gifted authority for repelling “external” forces and securing solid weights and measures, a stable currency.

7/9/12 Campaign Trial Update #44

Initial voter survey data reveals a lot of good news for our campaign in HD41-B, where we are showing that 20.6% of registered voters will vote straight party ticket (Democrat or Republican) on Election Day another 13.9% are solid voters for Tim Utz Minnesota HD41-B.

The best news for our campaign is in the remaining number, where an astonishing 65.5% of registered voters intending to vote on Election Day will not vote straight party ticket, remains disconnected from major party politics, is seeking other candidates not affiliated with main stream parties. In fact, many indicated, unlike previous election cycles, they are doing their own research prior to Election Day, seeking the best qualified candidates.

7/8/12 Campaign Trail Update #43

I have been working for hours on campaign related business, reports, communications, and documentations, currently working on a headache. Later tonight it is on the victory campaign trail, taking nothing for granted, even our polling, working the district finding the voters and securing an Election Day victory.

7/8/12 Emotional Politics

My wife and I were just talking about how people make decisions, especially political decisions. She mentioned politicians seem to make decisions on emotion. I realized that could be much of our current political issues in civil government, elected officials are pleasing others, soliciting emotional support, not standing on principle, rule of constitutional governance, or restraining power.  

Visit Paul Bergley

Visit my Minnesota House candidate counterpart Paul Bergley Facebook and “like”, keep in touch and support him up in the Isanti, Minnesota area. The only voters in Minnesota who actually have a opposing choice on Election Day reside in HD41-B and HD32-A, get moving today and support Paul and I for standing in the gap of political dysfunction in Minnesota, help send us to St. Paul and shine light on state capitol politics.

7/7/12 Campaign Trail Update #41

We held a campaign meeting this morning considering there is only 120 days until Election Day; many subjects were discussed, plans made, promotions planned, strategies developed and excitement on experiencing a 2012 Election Day victory.

Thursday, July 5, 2012

7/5/12 Interrelated Principles

The more I read original documents, understand state sovereignty and separation of powers established by our founders, read history, consider the interrelated principles of scripture and the founders preservation of our God granted civil and religious freedoms; the realization of ignorance by citizens and elected officials alike in “all things Republic and Constitutional” becomes clearer.

America needs a great awakening of both civil and religious inspiration; a society convicted of our apathy for civil participation and remorse for lack of moral fiber, lacking both, affecting the virtue of the American experience.  

7/4/12 Nothing Short Of Hot

As with every holiday during the course of a year, we ventured out on July 4th 2012 seeking voters. Our first attempt occurred during the heat of the day (heat index of 113) and lasted a short hour as we managed to travel around and visit Silver Lake Park, in Columbia Heights. We returned to “The White House” for refreshments, and some food.

The second attempt in the evening after 7:30 found the weather better especially as the sun continued setting. Mona and Tim traveled in New Brighton waving and greeting many folks who started venturing out of their homes. We knew everyone was home with all the vehicles parked in driveways, and people looking out their windows. The positive name recognition was especially encouraging and reflective of a strong ground game for 2012.

Tim Utz for House personally invites you to sign up for the next two parades, the first is in St. Anthony on Friday August 3, 2012, and the second parade is New Brighton on Thursday August 9, 2012. For inquiries or signing up email us at contact@timutzforhouse.com

7/4/12 A Call to Action

Fellow citizens
As we approach Election Day 2012, politically it becomes more apparent issues of party affiliation are irrelevant. Examples are;

  1. The state and federal court rulings that “We the People” ignorantly accept as the law.
  2. Neither the United States House (republican controlled) or the United States Senate (Democrat controlled) are competent enough to repeal, NDAA, SOPA, Patriot extension, United Nations intrusions on our sovereignty, a 2011 federal debt limit increase of $2,400,000,000,000.00 and another $1,400,000,000,000 scheduled for September 2012.
  3. Illegal Presidential Executive Orders.
And on the list goes.
For Minnesota for the last 16 months both Democrat and Republican parties joined forces to offer our state an 18% spending increase, an additional $1,200,000,000.00 bonding commitment, a billion dollar illegal stadium, and more restrictions of personal property rights and our God given freedoms.
My campaign has consistently fought against the political cruelty of elected officials cowering behind voting records, political party loyalty, and the seeming total disregard for the representative’s oath of office to defend and protect our Constitutions.
After years of hard work, thanks to ten of thousands of volunteer hours Tim Utz for House HD241-B campaign is poised for a November victory. We ask you to join forces with us today, recognize the gravity of the condition within our shredded Republic, take action and make a generous donation for reasoned constitutional representation in HD41-B. Visit www.timutzforhouse now and donate $19.95, $31.23, $67.97, $248.09 or other amount; whatever the contribution now is the political seasonal time to support a principled viable candidate.

  

7/4/12 Happy Independence Day?

We celebrate today with party, fun, spending money on our self, family, gorging on food and beverage, closing out the busy day watching fireworks at sunset, then put our head on the pillow, calling it a great day.

Another scenario occurred on this day in 1776 when after months of wrangling, endless meetings, threats of assignations, murder, mayhem, and an unknown future, delegates to a treasonous colonial convention signed and publicly published a document that changed the relationship between citizen and government.

There were no celebrations, fireworks, parties, dancing in the streets by those delegates who just signed their death certificates; there were continual prayers to God for assistance, letters of fear to family, quiet solitude, reflection of expected personal loss and suffrage. Those delegates, a target of England’s global power, having purpose, principle, and convictions, held tight to their faith in God understanding only mercy from heaven could provide victory; knowing their declaration was necessary, providing an uncertain future.

Perhaps this July 4, 2012 we step aside from the usual, consider contrition, repentance, quiet solitude, and reflection on the future, personal responsibility in civil discourse; then act, spending our time focused on electing men who have purpose, principle, convictions, and understanding the obligations of civil service. Men who, like our forefathers, fear God rather than man, who know the seriousness of civil service, the gift of civil and religious liberty God granted, that government cannot diminish. Perhaps, just perhaps, we should do something different.

Tim Utz
Candidate Minnesota House 41-B

7/3/12 Campaign Trail Update #39

The Republican Party endorsed candidate for HD41-B, Laura Palmer, has finally started rising from the political weeds to begin her race for St. Paul. Laura, who apparently has proclaimed no interest in running or intentions on winning this year, is on the November ballot to diminish a victory for conservative Constitutional representation in HD41-B.

In June 2008, 4 years ago, I met with a group of enthusiastic citizens at Sarna’s Bar and Grill to begin our first run for State House. That day, Emily Grimes, our new artistic, design, volunteer leaned over to me and said “I found your campaign colors on that wall hanging artwork; orange, purple and green”. For the last 4 years, using her gifted skills, Emily has branded our campaign recognition throughout the district with those 3 distinctive colors. Tim Utz for House 41-B is known for the green bus, purple yard signs and orange accent colors.

Segments of Republican leadership in this district are still fuming over my party affiliation change last year making claims I am a “pointless political puke”, an unwinnable candidate without the Republican label, and a drain on conservative votes for Republicans in the district. With millions of colors available, or the distinctive Republican “red”, I find curious that Laura Palmer has decided to copy the distinctive campaign colors of the Tim Utz for House 41-B.

Copy is the operative word here; what next is Laura willing to copy of my so called “pointless political puke campaign” to secure a Republican victory during the next 120 days? Perhaps Laura should stick to local political activity on the Columbia Heights School board, where as a board member she currently copies the voting records of her liberal peers.

7/1/12 Campaign Donation Notice

Under Minnesota campaign finance reporting laws today starts a new donation reporting period lasting until October. For Republicans concerned about reprisals by party officials in HD41-B or beyond for supporting Tim Utz for Minnesota House, a candidate you really believe in; now you can quietly make those donations undisclosed until just prior to Election Day.



The volunteer staff at Tim Utz for Minnesota House 41-B invites you to return home; return to the candidate your heart longs to support. Tim anticipates your return; our children need parents willing to place principles above political party for the sake of their futures and America’s Republic.



Come home today, the door is open, donate at www.timutzforhouse.com
