Vote NO
on the proposed
"Data Sharing" Amendment
to the state party constitution
THEY
WIN
YOU
LOSE
Don't be deceived by the fake title of this amendment. It is all about taking away your power as a delegate by centralizing it into the hands of the chair. The oligarchs, lobbyists, and cronies, and their fellow travelers, all riding on the same Utah taxpayer-funded Uniparty gravy train, hope you will fall into their trap.

This amendment centralizes power.
If it passes, it is reasonable to expect the following:
  • Candidates (for Party or public office) who fail to serve "the benefit of the State or County Party" or whose candidacies are not "in the best interest of the Party," as determined exclusively by the "chair," will be denied delegate lists to carry out their campaigns. The amendment's requirement that Party leaders remain neutral does not apply to the Party's executive director (who can control lists). It also doesn't apply to County Party leaders, to which no neutrality requirements apply under the Bylaws. The "chair" is undefined and need not be a Party officer.

  • Inability to perform audits on county and state delegates (no audits are possible without delegate information), will open wide the door for mischief and outright corruption. The Party's fair process for electing delegates in a caucus will be further undermined. Delegate positions could be given to cronies and sold to the highest bidders with impunity, all for the benefit of the ruling class and their puppets.

  • Further adverse changes to Party rules, such as this one, will be facilitated, since only the promoters of "official" changes (as decided by the "chair", alone) will be able to contact delegates. Opponents will only have a list of names, without contact information, greatly hampering delegate communication.

  • Republicans will no longer be able to readily contact their representatives in their County Party or the State Republican Party.

"The accumulation of all powers ... in the same hands ..." [e.g., the "chair"] "may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."
