A Sad Day

2008-08-18T19:08:00.001-05:00

Our campaign staff member and events planner, John Paulson lost a dear relative this morning in Akin, Minnesota. John’s uncle, Mr. Melkhuen, lost a battle with cancer about 7:30 this morning in his home, with his wife at bedside. John said he considered Mr. Melkhuen like a very close Grandfather.

The Campaign Committee for Constitutional Republicans, our staff and Tim, Nadine Utz extend our deepest condolences to John Paulson and his family. You can leave messages for John here.

The Debated Federal Nationalization of the Oil Industry

2008-08-17T19:23:00.001-05:00

The news is reporting congress and others in Washington DC are proposing to nationalize the 145 or so oil refineries around the United States. Purpose being, the American oil companies have not properly operated to produce enough energy for American consumption.

Has our national leadership lost all reason, sanity, or thought? Just purchasing the existing refineries at a paltry $100,000,000.00 each cost $14.5 billion dollars. Congress has a proposed 2009 spending debt of $650,000,000,000.00, excluding another off budget $135,000,000,000.00 additional dollars of Iraq war debt. Exactly where are our national congressional leadership and the White House proposing to get these kinds of dollars for a bloated government bureaucracy operating oil refineries? Is issuing more treasury notes, (correction loans) from China, Japan, Ecuador, or Grand-pa Smith the brilliant plan?

Shall we examine the current fiscal, business management and quality of leadership our elected officials provide to “We the People”? How many or your national leaders actually have ANY experience in the petrochemical industry? Just give my question some logical consideration.

I spent three and half weeks working as a carpenter at the Koch petrochemical Refinery in Rosemount Minnesota several years ago. I have over 30 years in the construction industry, yet am not qualified to be a field superintendent for renovation or maintenance at a petrochemical plant. Moreover, our national leadership piously verbalize they can manage an entire national industry. Congress having the arrogance to conclude they could establish a bureaucracy remotely capable of qualified management is at best embarrassing for congress.

Some thoughts from Tim...

2008-08-17T19:04:00.001-05:00

I awoke at 5:30 this morning finding myself thinking of multitude events in life.

1. My creator, who today blessed me with the very gift of existence and another day of life.
2. My health despite many trips through fast-food drive through over the years.
3. My wife Nadine, a lovely woman who likes simple in life and married a go-getter type guy like me.
4. My family as we are spending much of this weekend together as my younger sister gets married.
5. My sister who learned of the Republican endorsement last night chose to delay her honeymoon a day to come and observe my nomination.
6. My campaign staffs, which have their own lives, yet chose to invest countless hours of personal time putting together the best campaign in Minnesota.
7. My current construction project, despite several delays and problems, is still proceeding even a little ahead of schedule.
8. Despite tomorrow, when daylight starts getting shorter; this morning we have sunshine streaming through our windows, providing over 15 hours of daylight.
9. I have the capacity to articulate, reason, thought, logic, understand, and enjoy memory and life.

Therefore, this morning I find myself blessed, and God is truly good. There is a good chance challenges, disappointments, heartache and personal problems are waiting just over the hill today. Despite the possibilities, I have a loving God who cares for and about my day.
