Thank You for the Journey

In mid 2022, our small team launched SeniorsForMikeLee.com. We noticed that seniors were not being strongly considered in the Utah Senatorial campaigns, and wanted to give the seniors of Utah a voice during that election. We interviewed and posted the thoughts of many seniors. They weren’t are words, they were yours. And they were effective.

Not only did Senator Lee handily win his campaign, but our team was recognized with a 2023 Pollie Award for our print ads, which is like receiving an Oscar in the world of political advertising.

During this election cycle, where, in our opinions, many of the candidates did not match our values and expectations, we put forward Senator Lee in a new campaign called Mike Lee for U.S. president. It has been our honor to see that we have many loyal readers, and thank you for your visits.

Recently, the glue of our team and the director of our project passed away from complications with cancer. We were planning on winding down this project as we got closer to Election day, but this heartbreaking loss to our team means that this will be our last post.

We selected Senator Lee because he is fearless in standing for correct values and believes that the Constitution was inspired document and is still the foundation of our country. We invite each of you to likewise be fearless in standing for those things that you believe and that will help America stay strong in its Constitutional roots.

So again, thank you for joining us. All the best.

Happy 4th of July! 🎆 Happy 4th of July! 🎆 

Happy 4th of July to all of our readers. We hope you enjoy celebrating the day that commemorates the birth of our wonderful country.

Last week was a busy week back in Washington. Among other controversial decisions, the Supreme Court struck down President Biden’s student loan forgiveness efforts. That decision was a victory for Senator Lee and his policies and was applauded by Lee. What a great way to celebrate the 4th, as the fireworks of the effort of executive overreach has burned out.

“Today’s decision,” Lee said in an official statement last Friday, “is a clear victory over executive overreach, affirming that President Biden’s student loan scheme was fundamentally unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has lifted a 400 billion dollar burden off the shoulders of the hardworking Americans who diligently paid off their student loan obligations or decided to forego higher education.”

His stance on this issue reflects a principle that Senator Lee has referenced again and again with regard to federal spending.

“The American people want a balanced budget. They want Congress to stop this barbaric practice of perpetual deficit spending. It really, if you think about it, is a form of taxation without representation. We fought a war over that issue and we won that war.”

Mike Lee should run for president. He’s right on the money. Thank you for visiting! Please visit us again on July 15 for more updates.

Reflections on Pearl Harbor DayReflections on Pearl Harbor Day

Thank you Senator Lee for your push for government accountability concerning how they manage tax payer money, arms, and most importantly, the lives of our soldiers in recent wars.

Today is the 82nd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. We honor the memory of those that gave the ultimate sacrifice on this day.

We also take the opportunity to reflect on our current conflicts. Senator Mike Lee has shared his views on how these conflicts are being mishandled, and as mentioned in previous posts (https://mikeleeforuspresident.com/columbus-day-updates-on-a-busy-week-for-senator-lee), has introduced the “Define the Mission Act” to increase government accountability when engaging in war.

Senator Lee does not seem anti-war. He states on his website, “Providing for the common defense is one of the federal government’s primary constitutional obligations.  Both the President and Congress have significant responsibilities in this area to set the policies that keep our country safe.”

He continues, “Broadly, we must evaluate our most pressing national security goals and put forth the appropriate resources necessary to achieve those objectives. And where we commit resources, especially with regard to putting our men and women in harm’s way, we must have a clear national security interest, a well-articulated purpose, an understanding of the potential costs involved, and a responsible plan for success.”  https://www.lee.senate.gov/national-defense

With that said, we perceive one current trend Senator Lee finds disturbing: the wasting of American resources, whether it be tax payer dollars, equipment and supplies, or American lives. He denounces this government waste, especially in “endless wars”:

“Ukraine is officially America’s new endless war.”

“The deep state’s memory is short and rose-tinted. The Biden administration employs the same rhetoric and tactics that the Bush and Obama administrations used to conduct indefinite military engagement in Afghanistan and Iraq, not to mention undeclared intervention in Libya, Syria, and beyond. With billions flowing from the U.S. to the Ukrainian government in ‘economic support,’ long-term security guarantees, and the reconstruction effort already underway, we can’t help but feel a sense of deja vu.”

“The United States is heading down the same path that mired us in Middle Eastern conflicts for over two decades, all without clearly articulating the objective or how victory is achieved.” https://www.lee.senate.gov/2023/10/ukraine-is-officially-america-s-new-forever-war-president-biden-how-does-this-end

We feel it is important to defend democracy and its ideals worldwide. However, it is also important to ensure that our own country remains strong, with sufficient resources both for its military and its people. In our opinion, Lee is simply asking for accountability, goals, and oversight when utilizing our resources in war.

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

Mike Lee on the War Against DiabetesMike Lee on the War Against Diabetes

June 22, 2023

Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT), Ted Budd (R-NC), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) introduced a bill aimed at empowering patients and improving the outdated regulation of islet transplantation, a cutting-edge treatment for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes. Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) introduced a companion bill in the House of Representatives. Focused on patient-centered care, this effort would move islets to a more appropriate regulatory framework.

Of the bill, Sen Lee said, “This bill holds tremendous potential for those living with this chronic condition, offering the possibility of reducing or eliminating the need for injected insulin. By redefining islets as organs rather than drugs, we aim to align the regulatory framework with the scientific advancements in the field. This will promote innovation, enhance patient access to islet transplantation, and potentially improve outcomes and quality of life for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes. It is time for Congress to act and address the regulatory mismatch that currently hinders progress in islet transplantation. By granting regulatory authority to the appropriate agencies and prohibiting the classification of islets as drugs, we can unlock the full potential of this life-changing procedure.

You can see the full article, bill, and endorsements at his website.
