Columbus Day Updates on a Busy Week for Senator Lee

It looks like President Joe Biden and the democrats won the recent debt deal “in the fine print”, according to Senator Mike Lee.

“[The Republicans are] still claiming victory. This is not a victory. This is capitulation,” he said in an interview with The Hill.

In the same article, he warns that the Fiscal Responsibility Act could potentially add $4 trillion dollars to the national debt before the government will need to discuss further funding in January of 2025.

This act also gives President Biden and Shalanda Young, Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget. Those are spending powers they should not have.

Like we’ve said, Mike Lee should run for president. Thank you for visiting! Please visit us on June 17 for another update.

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.

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.
