ATK Space Age for Utah hangs on Principle for Prosperity

ATK, or Alliant Techsystems a mid-level United States aerospace and defense contractor, is a major supplier of ammunitions and related accessories to law enforcement agencies and commercial customers throughout the United States, and that division is headquartered in Clearfield, Utah, while the main headquarters is in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the company with some 18,000 employees in 22 different states has seen phenomenal growth with ammunition demands throughout the U.S.; more recently since the Obama Administration came to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

As important to Utah, is that ATK is the sole manufacturer of the reusable Solid Rocket Motor used to launch the NASA Space Shuttle. As part of ATK’s growth spurt in 2000, Thiokol propulsion was purchased that is centered in Promontory, Utah, just outside Brigham City, Utah: where yours truly went to High school graduating in 1984 from Box Elder High.





Last month ATK announced they would lay off 426 Utah workers from the Ares Rocket Project based in Utah as the Democrat controlled Congress killed the Constellation Program of which Ares was a part of. The Constellations Program would have returned astronauts to the moon and prolonged life of the space station till 2020.

ATK workers have been hit hard by layoffs. In the past 2 years; 450 employees in August of 2009, 500 workers in October of 2009, and 800 layoffs planned for 2010, yet ATK’s Patterson has praised Republican Congressman Bishop, who serves in that area known as Utah’s 1st Congressional District. Without Senate Bill 3729, Patterson said the damage to ATK could have been worse.

From WASHINGTON— Congressman Rob Bishop (UT-01), a former teacher at Box Elder though I never had him as a teacher there, released the following statement regarding an announcement made by Alliant Techsystems (ATK) that approximately 450 Utahns will be laid off today, September 30, 2010.


“Many of the people who are being notified of layoffs are my friends and neighbors, so this hits close to home.

“This is an unfortunate reality that far too many Utahns and Americans across the country are facing during these challenging economic times, and just as frustrating, President Obama and Speaker Pelosi seem intent on exacerbating the problems. In this instance, earlier action from Congress and full support of Ares and Constellation would have provided a more seamless transition and would have helped avoid major layoffs.

“We’ve been fighting this battle for months, but the Democrat leaders in Congress wouldn’t allow solutions, either in the NASA reauthorization bill or through the appropriations process, to come to the floor. Congressional leaders refused to pass a budget or an appropriations bill; instead they passed a continuing resolution, a stop-gap measure that keeps government running but does not sufficiently fund programs like Constellation.

“The current Administration’s job-killing policies have created nationwide uncertainty that continues to be severely detrimental to job growth and economic stability. I recognize the negative impacts that are coming from stupid decisions in NASA and Congress, and I will keep fighting to reverse these current policies. What we need is a different attitude within this Administration and a better balance in Congress, and when Congress does come back, we will continue this battle.”

My problem with this statement is the clear and present danger represented by the Republican Parties ability to blame Democrats for all the evils, such as not allowing solutions to come to the floor, job killing policies creating nationwide uncertainty for job growth and economic stability, yet NOT ONE PEEP out of him about PRINCIPLE’S OF OUR CONTITUTION that could knock Obama’s policies on their Democrat Asses.

Has Congressmen Bishop supported any effort towards the Constitution with regard to Obama’s eligibility as President? He sure hasn’t, and I have written Bishop informing him of the eligibility issue of Obama, and my contesting the 2008 election with standing, even as I did Senator Hatch, and Senator Bennett several times each. Not a peep out of them supporting the Constitution’s demands that our President be a ‘natural born citizen, yet they complain and bemoan Utah losing hundreds of jobs saying it’s so close to their heart and home.

I call Elephant Dung, a big heap of fertilizer fit for the manure spreader on this crock of crap. Why in the world would fear be spreading like a cankerous worm within the ranks of Republicans and for that matter our Government if they were boldly standing on firm ground our Constitution represents and fighting the good fight of principle that beckoned economic prosperity if properly instituted?

Obama’s has a record of dual citizenship that alone should nix him as the weakest timber based on our Constitution’s firmly planted foundation. Why it ought to so easily snap Obama and his policy with him that it wouldn’t even take a day’s work in Congress yet they cry and wail like women in travail giving birth in what I can only call Constitutional hypocrisy.

Everyone knows you can’t be a dual citizen and be President and Obama’s dual citizenship in Kenya through his father a British Subject is well documented and does not need a long form birth certificate to confirm. Obama’s mother was not a citizen 14 years to be able to confirm his U.S. Citizenship, and worse than that is the blatant change in Hawaii’s change in language in Obama’s nomination 2008 from previous presidential nomination certifying the candidate as qualified under the Constitution such as 2000 and 2004 you can see and compare here
page 31 and compare here to 00 and o4.
What more evidence do you need! I’m angry because these guys are sacrificing jobs and economic prosperity with their spineless defense of our Constitution and its costing people I know and grew up with unnecessary pain and suffering.

Now you ask me where the line is drawn between standing up for the Constitution and seeing Economic prosperity. Nowhere is it more plainly evident than in this example right in our Utah back yard. Now in anyone’s right mind, why would you support the Republican U.S. Senate Candidate ATK? Or Brigham City? Or Clearfield? Do you like being represented by manure for brains? Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up! Or your certainly will lose your right to complain with complacency.

Why do I cry with such alarm…because I care and I love Utah; I care and I love our Constitution and I will fight for you like no one has. I have been fighting for this for a long time but no one seems to have put 2 + 2 together and how “Principle” purports “Profit” but it is my firm conviction that as a Nation we are blessed when it comes to supporting principles of freedom and liberty and we are cursed when we abandon those principles.

We can fix this, we can restore this, we can spread our wings and fly and it’s my most sincere hope that not only will ATK further expand their horizons but that we will someday be able to take citizen tours to the moon and become a part of space operations heretofore offered to only NASA astronauts.

I had a dream a few years ago that I was like one of the first citizens to take a trip like this on a rocket space craft. I certainly believe in our space program as fundamentally necessary as the pavement of our highways, or education of our children. I’m very excited where we can go and that even as the first explorations and trails of the west were plowed through by our pioneers and mountain men, that provided a way for the rest of us to enjoy the west, that NASA’s astronauts and engineers are these pioneers of space, a new frontier for all of us in the near future, as our abundance of natural gas, shale oil, and energy independence productivity makes things much more affordable than we can possibly imagine right now.

We must make the right choices and I want you to make a choice for me to be your U.S. Senator. Write my name on your ballot, Cody Judy U.S. Senate, and let me show you where my dreams will take us. America is supposed to be a place where you can dream a dream and where you can see the dream come true. I believe what we dream we can achieve.

Sincerely

Tag'him and Bag'him Whitehouse October Surprise?

“Tag him and bag him” the Whitehouse finally issues the noose to be pulled on Osama bin Laden in the October Surprise for mid-term elections. Could it be that the recent resurgence of information regarding Osama bin Laden’s messages has been meticulously orchestrated to perk the ears of Americans once again in timely fashion for the mid-term elections? And could that be a foreshadowing pre-cursor of the coming October surprise that Democrats would/could use to gain support for the mid-term elections?

It’s really hard for me to believe, as I suspect it is with most Americans now, pondering the money and availability of all the technical realms of our great military that Osama bin Laden’s whereabouts is not known in the cross hairs of the CIA or our military right now, and the right moment in time is being pondered by the political strategist as to simply tightening the noose around his neck for a major kickback in the coming election.

Of Course I’m not the only one anticipating something big from Democrats whose ability and agility has come into question regarding the care to unemployment, confidence to United States Businessmen both large and small, and fear of a looming tax hammer that is about to come down upon all of our heads minus those crossing our borders without proper work permits and just basically here illegally making a mockery of those who have in affect stood in line, and worked hard to be here legally.

Jim Geraghty, writes in his “October Surprise”, a list a few of his ideas that included getting tough with Paris Hilton and sending her to Guantanamo?, “bombing Iran? Capturing Osama bin Laden or some other big name and announcing the news two days before the election?”

Of course it would make perfect sense with the surge in Afghanistan needing to be justified, and CNN wire staff reporting: “A second message presumably from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden urged Muslims to help the people of flood-stricken Pakistan” and their dire need to interpret the purpose for a kinder and gentler Osama bin Laden.

It’s oh so sad that a focus of problems abroad that have so little to do with the real problems we face here in the States could factor in the mid-term elections, especially given the problems we face in the States are what we need our political leaders to get-out-of-the way of, with incentives like a federal tax sabbatical as a show of confidence, that investment in America will be unfettered.

More than anything, we need our Government to quit placing the fear of capitalism into the minds of main street and businessmen, with the grandiosity of global governance, global citizenship, and a redistribution of wealth held in high esteem of Countries and Governments who love the standard of living we have in the United States, but who hate the United States Constitution and the individual rights it defends as inalienable rights given to us by our Creator.

One might think the world would grasp a beacon of light for what it is, that here in America the freedom and liberty allowing a man to worship freely according to his conscience is a moral fidelity good for Government and business, that allowing a man the right to his property without fear of the phone call wiping out all you worked for over a life time is an incentive for production.

That in spite of lower slave wages that communist and dictatorial democracies have a tight noose on in other countries, that our Constitution Republic has been a great success in the United States, promoting happiness because it allowed men the pursuit of happiness.

I am so thankful and so happy that our United States Constitution was trenched out of what seemed impenetrable walls of elitism conspired with varying recipes of slavery. I’m happy to be an American boy born and bred in the United States. While I don’t mind other countries claiming their own strategy for success, I am perfectly content with the United States, for while we do have problems with politicians adhering to our United States Constitution, the elections in America have indeed proved a well and good process of removing bad ones affectively.

The process is seen in a stark reality of my own State and the removal of Senator Bennett in the Republican primary held earlier this year. While it is a great reminder of holding the politicians feet to the fire, and while the “party” might be able to clean house in one state, the pragmatic conservative ideals will not necessarily be espoused by the “party power” at the National level, thus in affect not pushing home the message in Washington DC.

This is why America is prime for a Restoration Revolution; and Utah could lead in pushing home the idea that “Party Power” held by the Republicans and Democrats in Washington DC is indeed a fading light that is growing weaker, and that the real success of America is held in high regard; it's the "independence" stupid.

“We The People” hold in high regard our Constitution, because at times our Constitution is seen reigning back the rule of the mob that over centuries has proven a weakness of democracies, to a higher standard of independence and for the individual.

The mental cruelty of Global Governance is the demise of the individual. If this was not true, Global Governance would probably not have a problem with adopting the United States Constitution as it’s model, rather than working to destroy it, and with it the rights of the individual.

One thing I believe is a common thread among all the wealthy and powerful. Their biggest fear is losing it all. So let us agree that Republicans, Democrats, and Independence in America have a strong core of individual protections binding them from Tyrannical Governments that seek to redistribute all their wealth and power to say Africa, Mexico, or Brazil as in say awarding deep water oil drilling contracts to dangerous for the U.S.

Now it is up to the People to throw off their chains and to recognize the power of the individual, and to recognize America has been a very generous help, but that our help was not forced or compelled and that makes the biggest difference in a free man, and a slave. Helping one’s self is always faster and provides more confidence recalling an impressive demonstration recorded with Pioneers coming out to Utah.

In an assertion of weakness the political mainstream is feeling, American’s should be weary of an October surprise that places the current Administration in any better light than the dismal battery that is running out of power. Without a re-charge of our United States Constitution and the principles and protections of the individual our Government is suppose to champion, there will be no resurgence of confidence needed to turn our unemployment around because that is the key to turning it around, that is the key to providing confidence of investment.

With my sincerest heartfelt pinning for America I pray, “God Bless America”.
