If you would like to see direct primaries in Utah, sign up with this site. We are starting a new political party, to build a big enough group to be ready to move quickly enough for a successful citizen's initiative, or to support any other opportunity to move toward the goal of voters having a say in the selection of candidates for office.
The first step is to find 2000 registered Utah voters as fast as possible to sign a petition to start the Citizens Initiative Party.
Then use the party to receive news alerts and help build a list of about 100,000 to sign a petition to put on a Utah ballot to change the way candidates are chosen from party caucus system to direct primaries. So when we have a big enough list, we can file the petition and email a link for people to download the petition and get it signed and sent in.
And from our list possibly find volunteers to work on the computer set up, or out reach, or organizing, or voter registration, or publicizing, or (not tax deductible) fund raising. So we will end up with that big computerized list we can reach out to for a quick, statewide response when the petition is filed. To provide a link to paper copies of the petition for primaries for everyone to download, sign, and mail in when we have a big enough (about 100,000) group.
Once we have the system set up, we will keep it ready in case other issues fundamental to a free people, like the GRAMA crisis, need action. We will be open to suggestions from our supporters. For now, leave your contact information on the comments section below.
And follow this link to download the petition to start the party. We need 2000 registered voters just after Feb 1st, so we can verify and submit by Feb. 15. http://primariesforutah.org/
You do not actually have to do any more than sign--it helps us get started without binding you to anything else. But hopefully you will want to help somehow. I personally have come to the conclusion that the citizens need to take more initiative to save our country than just voting and waiting for the politicians to act. Thank You. Lee Anne Walker.
