(we suggest a yes vote for this one
which is AMENDMENT 'B')
;
3) Constitutional Educ. Funding Amd
(we suggest a NO vote on this one
which is AMENDMENT 'A' -
the Legislature can't be counted on to fully fund public education, and has a dismal history before all the budget overages of recent years.)
4) Constitutional Amendment allowing Legislature to change, amend, reject citizen initiatives. Came out of an 'emergency' Special Session (SJR401) .
(we suggest a NO vote on this one, which is AMENDMENT 'D' - AND

RE: POTUS
Filings to be on the Utah's Nov Election Ballot for POTUS, or
President of the United States,
haven't been decided YET ....
but they do include the following:
Claudia De LaCruz (U)
Gabriel Cornejo (D)
Dean Benson Phillips (D)
Kamela Harris (D)
she named Minnesota Gov Walz as her VP
Frank Lozada (D)
Marianne Deborah Williamson (D)
-------------
Robert F Kennedy, Jr. (U / I )
and his VP Nicole Shanahan
[he suspended his campaign &
endorsed Donald Trump]
Randall Terry (C)
w/ VP Pastor Stephen E. Broden (C)
(National Constitution Party held their National Convention in Salt Lake City April 25-27, 2024; nominating Joel Skousen as one of their Presidential Candidates, along with Dr. Dan Cummings, Louis C. Hook, and Samm Tittle.)
Pending approval there are also:
Cornel West (U)
Jill Stein (Green)
-----------------
Donald J. Trump (R)
with VP candidate
R. Vance, Sen. of Ohio
although they have withdrawn::
Nikki Haley has 43 delegates,
Ron DeSantis still holds 8 delegates &
Vivek Ramaswamy has 3 delegates.
- - - -
Nationally, there are MANY, many more individuals interested in 'running' for POTUS:
20 American Independent Party candidates (not to be confused with IAP),
204 Non-Partisan, 194 Independent, 29 prominent Republicans (only 8 are front-runners), 269 more Republicans,
32 prominent Democrat candidates, 155 more Democrats (only four have caught media attention and had their announcements covered and are considered early front-runners: Biden, Dean Phillips (D-Wisc), Marianne Williamson, and Cenk Uyger.
More than 500 total candidates have filed with the FEC, so far. But filing with the FEC does NOT get you on ANY ballots ... you still need to file with your individual states, because the states are the ones who actually print the ballots!
They even listed three claiming to be from the IAP (but none have contacted our National Chair, to date, to 'run' or even be nominated with or for our convention's endorsement):
Pamela Rocker - (from Colorado?)
James Brandon Garretson (TX ?)
Christopher Jerome (unk. location)
none of these IAP candidates were endorsed in the Utah IAP State Convention.
-----------------------------------------------------------
THEN THERE ARE
MULTIPLE LEGAL CASES
AGAINST OR INVOLVING
Former President Trump.
How will the outcomes affect
his campaign, his chances,
and his outcome.
On Thursday Feb. 8th
SCOTUS hear oral arguments
on the Colorado Case of
removing Trump from the ballot on the basis of the 14th Amendment.
SCOTUS decided Colorado can't remove him, so that is one win.
Trump was found guilty of 1) fraud in NYC for inflating his holding's worth,
(now on appeal),
and 2) for covering up his $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels
(also now on appeal),
These kind of unique aspects
make 2024 such a 'fun'
campaign season !
*- some don't think Biden will become the nominee but a younger candidate will get the nomination during the convention. (watch out for Gavin Newsome to float to the surface!)

Carlton E Bowen - U.S. Senate Candidate
PROPOSED IAP CANDIDATE for US Senate
Carlton E. Bowen is an Independent American running for the U.S. Senate because he loves his country. Carlton is promoting Traditional Values, Traditional Money and our Tradition of Freedom!
Carlton has been civically involved his entire adult life.
Carlton first ran for elected office at the age of 27, He was the first to declare his candidacy, then as a Republican, for what later became an open seat for Utah's 2nd congressional district. Carlton finished 4th of 6 candidates in the GOP state convention.
Carlton ran for the U.S. Senate as an Independent American in the year 2000. He ran because incumbent Senator Hatch, who had been chair of the Senate Judiciary committee, was putting forth Supreme Court nominees who weren't Pro Life. Carlton finished 3rd on the general ballot, beating the Libertarian party candidate.
Carlton ran for and was elected to the American Fork City Council in 2013. Carlton ran because the American Fork City chief of police had written a letter opposing Constitutional Carry legislation. The legislation had passed both chambers of the Utah State legislature, but then Governor Herbert vetoed the legislation, citing in part opposition from some city chief's of police. Thankfully, Constitutional Carry legislation was later passed and signed into Utah law. Carlton served on the city council from January 2014 to January 2018, voting against unconstitutional spending. He sponsored and passed a resolution recognizing Constitution Day in American Fork City.
Carlton is married to Linda Bowen, his wife of 36 years. They have 6 children and 13 grandchildren. Born and raised in Utah, Carlton and Linda have also lived in Texas, Virginia, and South Korea.
Carlton served with distinction in the United States Air Force from 1988 to 1994, receiving multiple awards and medals for his service during that time.
Carlton has degrees in "Economics" and "Intelligence and Imagery Analysis".
Carlton and Linda are lifelong faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and currently reside in American Fork City, Utah.
Here is my political platform for the 2024 U.S. Senate race:
Tradition of Freedom - America was founded by people seeking religous and economic freedom. The pilgrims arrived in Plymouth Massachuttets on the ship Mayflower in 1620, fleeing religous persecution in Europe. The Jamestown Virginia settlers arrived in 1607, seeking better economic opportunity. We declared Independence on July 4, 1776, but we didn't win it until 5 years later in 1781, when the British surrendered at Yorktown Virginia. In all of these events God was the author of our Liberty. And we must continue to remember Him if we are to remain a free nation today. Indeed our national motto is "In God We Trust". May it ever be so. This is our tradition of freedom.
Traditional Values - You know what it means. It is so simple and basic. In a nutshell, boys are boys and girls are girls. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Families matter, a lot, and ideally have a Mom and a Dad, married, true, and trying. Don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, and don't kill. Integrity and honesty still matter.
Traditional Money - Traditional money means more than using the Gold and Silver coin the U.S,. Constitution envisioned and requires. It also means Free Market economics; not corporate welfare, not socialism nor communism. Rather a Free Market where consumers, not government, choose the winners and losers. It also means the opportunity for all to prosper. It also means fiscal responsibility by our federal government, with balanced budgets and reducing the national debt.
