Month: October 2023

Happy Birthday tomorrow, Janet Lee Chamberlain.

Behind every great man is a great mother. Senator Mike Lee’s mother, Janet Lee Chamberlain is one of the great ones.

Janet supported her husband, Rex, who would become famous in his service as United States Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division, Solicitor General of the United States, and President of Brigham Young University. Not only did Janet accompany him on many of his adventures and assignments, but she successfully raised their seven children during these years.

In her speeches while serving BYU, she explained that she prioritized teaching her children the value of hard work and overcoming obstacles.

Her sons, Mike and Thomas would become public figures in their own right. Thomas became a Justice on the Utah Supreme Court for twelve years. Senator Mike Lee, currently in his third term in the U.S. Senate is one of the nation’s foremost experts about the Constitution.

Both sons were also on President Donald Trump’s short list to serve on the United States Supreme Court, Mike in 2018 and Thomas in 2020. A Fox News reporter once credited Janet for that success because of the way she “raised her boys.”

“…The hand that rocks the cradle, is the hand that rules the world.” –William Ross Wallace

Because of Janet Lee Chamberlain’s considerable hand in Mike Lee’s life, we would be in good hands with him as our PRESIDENT. Thank you Janet, for your contributions to America.

On Senator Lee’s Facebook Page, he made a touching tribute to his mother: “I’m grateful for my mom, who’s consistent example has always made me want to be more kind, patient, forgiving, and considerate.”

Thank you Senator Lee for your example. You seem to have the proper attitude about your mother.

Mike Lee should run for president. He’s right on the money.

Thank you Senator Lee for speaking up about the speakership. Along with you, we wish Rep. Jim Jordan success in the race for Speaker of the House.

In honor of Columbus Day we thought we would nickname the three waterfronts that Mike Lee is battling after Christopher Columbus’s three famous ships.

#1 The Nina – The Define the Mission Act

According to Senator Lee, the United States has already given $113 billion in support to Ukraine with $24 more billion requested. Senator Lee, along with others are asking the White House to give an accountability on the following before being granted more aid:

• A clear definition of the U.S. national interests at stake.
• An estimation of the resources required, including U.S. personnel, materials, and funding.
• A forecast of security assistance to be received from NATO allies within the upcoming year.
• A thorough assessment of the impact of Russia’s dominance in the European natural gas market on concluding the conflict in Ukraine.
• Furthermore, the proposed strategy cannot be contingent on the U.S. providing funds for Ukrainian reconstruction.

#2 The Pinta – Repeal the FACE Act

The FACE Act allows for government interference to peaceful protests outside abortion facilities. Senator Lee has correctly identified that this act is being abused and interfering with the freedom of speech rights granted by the Constitution. Of the bill, Senator Lee said, “Our Constitution reserved general police power to the states. Congress infringed on the states’ police power when they passed the FACE Act. The Biden DOJ has weaponized this constitutionally suspect law against pro-life sidewalk counselors while failing to protect pregnancy centers and churches from violent attacks. It’s time to repeal the FACE Act.”

#3 The Santa Maria – Protecting Our Kids from Harmful Research Act

On October 5th, Senator Mike Lee introduced the Protecting Our Kids from Harmful Research Act, a bill prohibiting federal funding of gender transition research on minors.  Medical interventions to transition gender are experimental, irreversible, and often fail to produce the intended effects of improving patients’ mental health.  This bill would prohibit federal funding from being used in research or publications that seek to establish or affirm gender identities that are incongruent with a minor’s biological sex.

Senator Mike Lee is receiving a lot of attention this week about his comments on the possible government shutdown. He has remained steadfast on his position that it is both important to keep the government open, but not use the threats of these shutdowns to pass sneaky and unnecessary future spending bills. Here are some of his most recent comments:

On Twitter/X: “When it comes to spending bills, Republican leadership in the Senate has proven really effective at three things: 1. Uniting Democrats. 2. Dividing Republicans. 3. Keeping lobbyists happy. This must come to an end.:

In another stinging rebuke on Twitter/X he wrote: “We could have easily had this debate months ago, but the Law Firm (currently organized as “Schumer, McConnell, McCarthy and Jeffries”) has long preferred to wait until the last minute to make an aggressive push to pass spending bills. When we approach the end of September…, The Firm then insists on writing its own legislation in secret, often revealing it to members of Congress for the first time only 48 hours before a long-scheduled shutdown window. This pattern has repeated itself over and over again. It always ends the same way—avoiding a shutdown, but producing deficits in the trillions of dollars, and empowering The Firm each time it happens. This, in short, is perhaps the single biggest reason why we’re $33 trillion in debt.”

He is not pro-shutdown, however. On a Fox News Interview: “I think a government shutdown is possible. I think it’s avoidable, I think we should avoid it,” Lee said. “I think the best way to proceed at this point is to pass something that keeps the government funded for a few weeks.”

We recognized his efforts in this arena a year ago, and produced a newspaper ad under our previous Organization name, “Seniors for Mike Lee.” This ad won a prestigious national Pollie Award in April of this year. It is just as relevant today as it was last year:

Mike Lee should run for president. He’s right on the money.
