We believe in the right to life for both the born and unborn. We strongly oppose abortion, except to preserve the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incest. We believe the unborn child has a fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed. We believe all human life is sacred regardless of age or infirmity, and therefore we oppose abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, and the public funding of any of these abhorrent practices." (Morgan County Republican Party Platform) Wow. Pretty direct, brief n' bold language here! This reminds me of the famous American quote: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men [mankind / human beings] are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are LIFE..." (The Declaration of American Independence) It's amazing to me how much we human beings can justify taking away another human being's life...but we take a clear stand against such justifications as Utah Republicans. Lydia Nuttall, Chair (2018) Morgan County Republican Party

" We recognize the traditional family as the fundamental unit of society. We affirm that parents have the fundamental right and primary responsibility to direct the upbringing of their children and to provide nurturing care, discipline and training in moral values." (Morgan County Republican Party Platform)

"We support the individual constitutionally-protected right of the people to keep and bear arms for security and defense of self, family, others, property, or the state, as well as for other lawful purposes. We encourage personal responsibility for the care and use of these firearms." (Morgan County Republican Party Platform)

The Morgan County DEMOCRATIC Party & REPUBLICAN Party hosted a DEBATE with candidates for Utah House District 53 at Morgan High School (October 10th).

Think of the contentment of a fine picnic with family and friends, or the awe inspiring beauty of a master sculpture (e.g. https://goo.gl/images/YUDSJS) . As different as they are, both a family picnic and fine art are made possible by the soldier and policeman. They secure for us both safety and peace through the proper and just use of force, and without safety and peace families do not gather in parks and art sits unfinished. That is one reason why the Republican Party supports the following principles:

● September 17th, 1787 is the birthday of our United States Constitution! ● No other written constitution has lasted as long as our U.S. Constitution. Since 1789, the average lifespan of other nations' constitutions is a mere 17 years. (For example, France has had at least 15 constitutions since its first written Constitution in 1791.) ● Until the United States Constitution, there was no other existing government designed to safeguard the people's opportunity to achieve an unprecedented amount of freedom, peace, and prosperity. ● Our United States Constitution allowed our country to rise from an undeveloped status to become the richest industrialized nation in the world! By 1905, more than half of the world's total production originated in the U.S. yet the U.S. was less than 6% of the world's population! ● In addition, recorded history reveals the fact that no other country in the world has shared its wealth with other nations MORE than the United States of America. Also, America has often forgiven the debt owed by other nations. ● By the 1970's, approximately 160 nations (out of 196 nations in the world) had used our U.S. Constitution as a model for their constitutions. Be PROUD of our U.S. Constitution, Americans! Read and understand it. Support and defend it! Teach our kids, spouse, friends and co-workers these facts. Wish them all a "Happy CONSTITUTION DAY" today! Lydia Nuttall 100% American

We demand honesty, integrity, morality, and accountability of our public officials. We will work to expose and stop corruption. For me, It starts with being true to myself, which is actually harder that it sounds. To be honest with yourself, you have to know yourself. Know yourself on multiple dimensions. Your values, personality, preferences and much more. What are you aiming for in life, and why. These are all the many things that make you a unique individual and distinguish you from others. To truly know yourself in this way takes a lot of self reflection, study, and internal conversations with yourself to sort and settle. Being honest with yourself in this way is the best place to start, then you are ready to be honest with integrity and high ethical standards while reaching out to others with the same expectations. Including candidates for public office, and elected officials. M. Bret Haney Morgan County Republican Party, SCC Rep. (2018)

We oppose congressional, judicial, and executive abrogation of the principle that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. We oppose unreasonable and intrusive federal mandates. Bob Harvey, Treasurer (2018) Morgan County Republican Party

IMAGINE the leader of our country sending military troops to Utah and telling us WE HAVE TO QUARTER THEM in our homes. That means letting them eat our food, sleep in our beds, use all our belongings however they need/want, abuse our wives and daughters, etc . IT HAPPENED in America before. "For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us..." It says this in The American Declaration of Independence. Our government making us quarter troops in our homes is one of the 27 listed reasons why We The People declared independence from Great Britain. IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN in America... ...Unless we UNDERSTAND it is our right to own property and are willing to DEFEND our homes and families from any person or entity (e.g. our government) that would take this unalienable (God-given) right away. Lydia Nuttall, Chair (2018), Morgan County Republican Party
