Utahns for Representative Government

Utah is fighting back. Repeal Prop 4!

[Utahns for Representative Government @RepealProp4]

Oh, NOW we question their tactics!

Since Feb., 6k Utahns in SD15 have been bullied, harassed and manipulated solely based on their political opinion.

The time to investigate the signature removal scam was weeks ago, not AFTER the deceit was complete.

This week may have been a step back in Utah’s fight to defend representative government, but we aren’t going anywhere.

THIS SUNDAY: On Inside Utah Politics, @BBforUT Executive Director Elizabeth Rassmusen on the repeal of Prop. 4 failing to qualify for the November ballot.

She defends their signature repeal tactics after the GOP-backed @UtahGOP chair said they had "significant concerns" with their practices.

@bobaagard So money could have been offered to signers, as long as money was offered to everyone?

[Utahns for Representative Government @RepealProp4]

“STAMP-GATE” = the act of a duly elected legislative body clarifying existing state law when faced with a “gray-area.”

AKA, a manufactured media fabrication.

Apparently, none of the other 538 laws that passed were worth discussing!

Tune in to ABC4 Sunday for more Stamp-gate!

🚨NEW EPISODE: The '26 Utah legislature overshadowed by last minute changes to prepaid postage for signature removals on initiatives and a bill passing after midnight. Plus, Congressional candidates line up under new maps. @taylordmorgan, @LeahMurray828 👇 https://t.co/4fbuUWW9B4

Kudos to @taylordmorgan for being the voice of reason!

💪💪💪

We will not cease in our effort to Repeal Prop 4, no matter the day of the week or the time of night!

[Lindsay Aerts @LindsayOnAir]

@RepealProp4 I have reported on the allegations of fraud you are making against them.

And bills take coordinating to be subbed, passed after 11 pm, pass concurrence, enrolled, and be signed by the governor the next morning. This was not an accident, you know this. https://t.co/B2l5V2bwqW

[Utahns for Representative Government @RepealProp4]

Lindsay, the original sub was written without our knowledge. Maybe a better question would be how many lawmakers trust the judiciary at this point on this issue?

Besides, how many laws each year are passed to clarify existing law? That’s half of what the Legislature does. You know this!

Why haven’t you reported on the deception employed by Better Boundaries??

[Utahns for Representative Government @RepealProp4]

You caught us…supporting a provision that was public for a week which clarifies existing law.

If a Democrat judge can toss Utah’s congressional maps at 11:40p before the midnight deadline, a Republican legislative majority can confirm existing statute at 11:19p.

[Lindsay Aerts @LindsayOnAir]

@gopTODD @johnforutah @JmanSLC @utahcommonsense @danmccay Question to the good Senator from Woods Cross. Why did it move so late? Was it just a function of when that bill came up? Did it take time to whip the votes? Why were backers of @RepealProp4 on the hill whipping votes that night?

[Utahns for Representative Government @RepealProp4]

⬇️ These deceptive practices are now ILLEGAL. Thank you, @utahhousereps, @utahsenate and @GovCox.

For the last month, lawmakers heard from constituents concerned about the practices of Better Boundaries. Even Rep. Blake Moore, an original founder of B.B., urged that the campaign to remove signatures end.

As of TODAY, there will be no postage provided to initiative signers to trick them into removing their signature.

The law did not change the amount of time a person has to remove their signature, and any removals already requested will be processed.

Utahns want a vote to Repeal Prop 4, and they have earned that opportunity this November.

[Utahns for Representative Government @RepealProp4]

We are devastated to lose Rep. Owens as a representative for our great State.

An ultimate team player, @BurgessOwens found every opportunity to support the Repeal of Prop 4. We know he will continue to do so until Nov 3.

Congratulations on a terrific career. Utah thanks you!

😍 We would love to see today’s update, @LindsayOnAir!

[Lindsay Aerts @LindsayOnAir]

🚨PROP 4 REPEAL UPDATE: The @RepealProp4 effort now has a healthier lead in President @JStuartAdams and @gopTODD districts. The question will be whether removals have been processed in Davis County. I don't have that info.

Stevenson (SD6) +241
Weiler (SD8) +346
Adams (SD7) +376

@thesidetrack @Mason__McCann How’s your day going, guys?

[Robert Gehrke @RobertGehrke]

Prop 4 Repeal Update: Another 2,000-plus signatures added today and it looks like a good chunk of them are in Davis Co. Those districts that were really close are now not. The clerk's office somehow missed over 1,000 signatures in SD7 alone and now it's 885 over the goal.

[Utahns for Representative Government @RepealProp4]

Since it takes a few days for information to get to Facebook, would someone give our friend Daryl today’s update?

💔 RIP Prop 4!

[Robert Gehrke @RobertGehrke]

The one closest to the bubble is now SD12, but that one has a 545-signature cushion.

So this repeal initiative looks like it is going to be on the ballot. Prepare for the millions of dollars in advertising to start soon.

[Utahns for Representative Government @RepealProp4]

@DylanCMcDonnell 500,000+ voted against Prop 4.

[Utahns for Representative Government @RepealProp4]

Better Boundaries continues to harass Utahns against their will despite Congressman Moore telling them to knock it off.

They know they cannot stop us at the ballot box.

Glad to be with 160,659 standing on the side of democracy, the Constitution and representative government!

[CChampion @CChampion_Z06]

Pretty damn annoyed that I have these scum bags contacting me and trying to manipulate what I purposely, knowingly, went out of my way to sign.

Of course they didn’t just say “if you would like to remove your name from prop 4 we will aid you”, they instead try and manipulate with wording about stopping gerrymandering.

How is this fair or legal? If they wanted to campaign against prop 4 repeal they should have been forced to do so in the same time frame as the organizers. Why do they get extra time to attempt to dissuade confirmed signers when organizers can’t try to still dissuade holdouts??

FYI they immediately called me after I told them to fuck off. Prior to the text response they sent.
