“On Wednesday, eleven Republican senators will vote to disregard the will of the people as expressed through a free and fair election,” said Hillary Stirling, United Utah Party Chair. “The people of Utah need to know that Senator Lee will not join this anti-democratic movement but will instead uphold those democratic principles that have made our republic enduring and strong.”
The petition language reads as follows:
________
To Senator Mike Lee of Utah:
We the undersigned urge you not to join on to the effort by some members of Congress to block the certification of the electoral college votes on January 6. We believe there is no reason for this year’s general election – the legitimate process of the expression of the will of the voters – to be overturned by the Congress. There has been no evidence of massive fraud by election officials that would have resulted in a different outcome. We urge you to uphold the process by which the voters, not the Congress, determine who the next president will be.

“Anyone is welcome to sign the petition, regardless of their party affiliation,” said Jim Bennett, United Utah Party Vice Chair. “Everyone who cares about the integrity of the electoral process should let Senator Lee know where they stand.”
