John Valentine, chairman of the State Tax Commission, made a presentation showing the growing gap between tax revenues and services that has been building for over 20 years.

A United Take on Potential Impeachment
Read more
The United States is facing a constitutional crisis. Only twice in the nation's history has a president been impeached. In both cases the president was not removed from the office because two-thirds of senators did not agree with the House. In one other instance, impeachment would have been likely had the president (Richard Nixon) not resigned first.

Term Limits Initiative
Unite for Term Limits is an initiative that the party applauds and supports. Under current Utah law, any elected state official can serve indefinitely. This creates several problems, such as career politicians, resistance from party officials to challenger candidates within the party, and above all, an incumbency advantage that tips the scale against new office holders and ideas.
Learn more on the Initiative website here: https://unite4termlimits.org/
You can lend your voice on the initiative's Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/Unite4TermLimits/
We know that this is a reform more than 70% of Utahns support, but we need donations and volunteers to make it happen.
Please join us to create a real and a lasting change!

Platform Input Request
On April 29th, we’ll be voting on the party platform at the UUP convention. Ahead of that, we’re deliberating on possible edits and updates. To make this process transparent and responsive, we are requesting input from all those interested in the future of the party. If there are questions or issues you think the platform should address, please send that feedback to [email protected].
As you consider input you’d like to give please keep in mind the following guidelines:
The UUP is focused on the process by which our laws are made. We believe that good government requires transparency, fairness, and a robust and civil debate. We believe that public policy should ultimately reflect the will of the people. We don’t require candidates or members to agree on all important issues. That’s why we don’t, as a party, take rigid sides on most issues. Candidates can take sides, members should too, but the party doesn’t have a litmus test.
The UUP is not ideological. We ask instead that people come to the political process with good will and good faith. Being a Uniter means doing the listening and the hard work required to find common ground. We persuade when we can, extend a hand of friendship when we cannot, and we respect the voice of the people either way.
That is what sets us apart from all other political parties. Edits and updates to our platform must reflect this focus.

Immigration Petition July 2018
Add signatureDear Utah Congressional delegation:
We, the undersigned, call on the Trump administration and Congress to pass legislation that will correct the current policies of the Trump administration regarding immigration. Through President Trump's executive order of June 20, 2018, the misguided family separation policy has been ended for future detainees, but there is no provision for a change of status of those currently held. And the executive order still treats asylum seekers as criminals by imposing a penalty of imprisonment for those who present themselves to immigration authorities without proper documentation.
We call on you to work in Congress to pass legislation and urge President Trump to sign such legislation that will:
Make it illegal in perpetuity to separate children from their parents when crossing the border.
Provide adequate resources to reunite families that have been torn apart by the recent policy.
Remove the provision of automatic imprisonment of asylum seekers.
