@mormonweg I agree that it was really quite incredible and masterful how they balanced news and entertainment shows and then demonstrated how they slowly merged into being the same thing. #goodnightandgoodluck #georgeclooney

@mormonweg "You have opened the door. News with a dash of commentary. What happens when isn't Edward R. Murrow minding the store?" This is a legitimate question to ask. Murrow averted a national catastrophe, but he did it by sharing opinions.

@mormonweg Truth will rise in the marketplace of ideas and we don't get sullied by engaging with people who think differently - as long as they are willing to engage in good faith argument based on facts.

[Jennifer Walker Thomas @jenwalkerthomas]

@mormonweg It is pretty powerful that in Murrow's response he takes the time to defend the importance of having friendships, conversations and professional relationships with people who think differently.

@mormonweg We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities."

[Jennifer Walker Thomas @jenwalkerthomas]

@mormonweg not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular. This is no time for men who oppose Senator McCarthy’s methods to keep silent, or for those who approve.

@mormonweg "We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. responsibilities...

[Jennifer Walker Thomas @jenwalkerthomas]

@mormonweg This is why due process is so incredibly important! I cannot imagine being accused of a crime that could change the course of my life, and having no way to see the evidence against me! This was worth pushing back against.

VICTORY! Utah Supreme Court reinstates our claim that the legislature violated the Utah Constitution when it repealed the initiative banning partisan gerrymandering. Affirms that the people have the right to alter or reform their government. #fairmaps #Utah

[Better Boundaries @BBforUT]

Breaking News: Victory!! The Utah Supreme Court affirms our constitutional right to reform our government. This major victory sends the case back to the lower court. Thank you to all Utahns for making this possible. More to come later today. https://t.co/y0hbMvJlvO

[Jennifer Walker Thomas @jenwalkerthomas]

We could not be more thrilled with this result! It is a victory for individual citizens and their ability to ensure they enjoy representative government.

[Mormon Women for Ethical Government @mormonweg]

Let's make this even more clear. The people of Utah are the winners today as the court steps in to protect their right to choose their representatives!
