Mike Lee Did Well in the Caucuses

Dear Mike Lee Supporters and Delegates,
 
First and foremost, a BIG THANK YOU to all of our supporters and volunteers! Caucus night last Tuesday was an amazing success. Literally hundreds of calls and e-mails swamped the campaign with reports of precinct meetings throughout Utah.  The sentiment was overwhelmingly against the incumbent and very favorable to Mike. YOU DID IT! It might have been scary for you, or at the very least uncomfortable. But because of your efforts we have an amazing head start with a large percentage of delegates elected being Mike Lee Delegates or leaning heavily that way. The voice of the people will be heard. This is truly the grassroots of politics. An astounding number of passionate Utah voters came out to caucus night last week... nearly triple the attendance at the 2008 caucuses.
 
What was it like in your precinct meeting?  In one meeting reported, 21 precincts met in a Junior High School auditorium. There had been a constant flow of people coming from all directions to the front doors of the Junior High.  Flyers for Mike were handed out as fast as they could be given. People came with determination and passion written all over them. They came with purpose! The auditorium was filled to overflowing with people standing in the aisles, along the walls, even on the risers and stage. But that was not all. Those who couldn't get in just went to their designated precinct rooms. The precinct meetings were held in, again, overflowing classrooms. The voters were anxious but patient, wanting everything to be fair. In one precinct of 86 voters, 12 people were nominated for two positions of State Delegate. It was very clear that the voters wanted to know who the nominees would support for Senate. The incumbent was not a favorite, to say the least. One nominee who professed absolute support for Mike won a State Delegate seat with over twice as many votes of any other nominee. After all the business was completed in this particular precinct caucus, it was near midnight. Wow! Do not be mistaken: these voters have a voice and they will be heard!
 
We don't stop here! The State Delegates have been elected and we still need your help to contact all 3500 of them to share the message of principle, of protecting and making laws based on our Constitution, and of telling Washington that what they are doing is wrong for us and wrong for America.  Continue to talk to your family, friends, and neighbors.  Let them know about Mike, about his website, and about upcoming events where they can meet and talk to him themselves. LET'S TAKE IT AT THE STATE CONVENTION, MAY 8TH!

We also want to mention and thank you for the huge support at our rally last Tuesday at Noah's in South Jordan.  CNN was there to interview Mike and tape the proceedings of nearly 250 Mike Lee supporters cheering, sporting their "I LIKE MIKE " shirts and buttons, waving flags and enjoying a great lunch put on by some amazing women on the campaign staff.  We had also enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Mike's earlier that morning where a reporter from New York Times was there. But more importantly it was a big thank you again to all those who had called their 50 names.
 
Jump on board! We can use your help. The race is in full swing and swinging our way!
