Now There's a Dream

Come, join us; enter the conversation. Together we’ll listen. Together we’ll find practical solutions. No person will be discounted. No idea will be shunned. Compromise is not a dirty word here. We can move forward above the current political gridlock with respect, compassion, and dignity for all. Now there’s a dream!!

--- Debbie Mays, Letter to the Editor, The Herald Journal, March 24, 2018

These words perfectly summarize the excitement, the exhilaration, and the hope that was felt by nearly 900 caucus-goers at the United Utah’s Party’s first ever caucuses held across the state on March 20, 2018.

If you attended, or followed online, then you know that Utahns showed everyone that night that there is a growing hunger and thirst in our state for a party that makes reasonablenesscompromise, and practicality its central tenants.  There is a great yearning by those who have been left politically homeless by the growing extremism of the Republicans and Democrats to find someplace where they belong.

At the Caucuses, we boldly declared that that someplace is with the

UNITED UTAH PARTY

And we need YOUR help to take that

First United Utah Caucus

On March 20 – caucus night in Utah - voters will have a new alternative for caucus attendance this year – the caucus meetings of the United Utah Party.  According to Richard Davis, United Utah Party chair, the new party is a centrist, reform-oriented party seeking to invite citizens back into politics rather than pushing them away.   "We invite all Utah voters to attend the caucus meetings of the United Utah Party,” said party chair Richard Davis. “Come join us in changing politics and government for the better."

Donate Through Your Tax Return

getty-031612-taxrefundcheck1_11300059.jpg Here's another way to make a contribution (at no additional cost to you!) that could help us in our efforts to change politics in Utah! 

Screen_Shot_2018-01-23_at_9.30.58_PM.png

Designate the United Utah Party on your state income tax form, above.  You simply put in the letter "U" for United Utah for both Yourself and Spouse. This costs you nothing.  Any contribution you make will not add to the tax due on your return or reduce your refund.

Here's how it works:  You may voluntarily apply $2 of your tax to the Election Campaign Fund to United Utah (or that's $4 for you and your spouse).  Basically, you get to tell the State how to spend $2 of the taxes they get to keep from you by putting it toward a party within the state to help fund election campaigns. 

So, while you can't tell the state how to spend the rest of the taxes they collected from you, you can at least tell them how to spend $2.  And to us, that can make a difference.

Click here for information directly from the Utah State Tax Commission website.

We appreciate your support!
