Political Info:

* Candidate Disqualified *

Candidate Burnside, who took no contributions, and made no expenditures, was disqualified from the 2006 Election for Utah House District 15.

Burnside was disqualified for filing his financial disclosure report late.

In spite of the fact that Burnside was recently hospitalized, and while there, he was given the wrong medication twice. This medication caused confusion, memory loss, and made walking difficult for Burnside, causing him to miss the 15 September deadline by one day. Lt Governor Gary Herbert says he has no digression in the matter and jumped at the chance to disqualify Burnside. Herbert is a Republican while Burnside was a "Third Party" candidate for the Personal Choice Party.

Who are you as a candidate?

If Utah ever has a genuine, free and honest election, and if I am elected, I am determined to represent the wishes of the voters of my district, and not force my own beliefs or those of some out of touch political party on to my constituents. Representatives of the people ought to represent the people, not represent special interest groups or corporate political manipulators as my opponent so blatantly does. I am TRULY the pro democracy candidate. It is your choice and your future on the line, so Mark your ballot for Burnside. You can talk to this candidate. Why? You can talk to me because I'm listening!

I read my own email and answer my own phone. I care what you think.

I am running for office to give people a viable personal choice alternative to the ONE-PARTY political machine that has ruled Utah for the last twenty years.

WHAT I STAND FOR

Why were you willing to run for office?

TO SERVE MY FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS... I offer a genuine commitment to service, family values, and ethical representation. If you will have me as a servant to represent this people, I will pledge my life and my sacred honor to these ends.


I have spent the Last 16 years in public service and would love to continue serving my fellow citizens by being elected to serve as the State House of Representatives, District 15 Rep.


What do you feel you offer the voters in your race?
Honest Representation. True Representation. Moral and Family Values.

What does Personal Choice mean to you?
Personal Choice means ‘free agency’ to me.
 

How would you apply Personal Choice to the issues you mentioned?

I think our laws are too complex for most people,  and there are way too many laws that try to enforce people’s morals, values and ethics.

Free agency is God’s plan for humanity.
 
 Ethics should be taught, Values should be preached, and Morality should lived, not legislated. Legislation and statutes are a form of, or an implementation of coercive forces that deny or limit our free agency and should only be applied in ways that safeguard or preserve every citizens rights.
