Our Mission
Accountability Utah exists to shed light on
the legislative process, to provide citizens with knowledge and tools to effectively hold
their government accountable, and to secure — for every man, woman, and child — a future of freedom.
We do this by publishing Accountability Reports, alerts,
and information on critical issues, and by providing training to
unleash the power of citizens.
Our
Philosophy
Accountability Utah promotes government that is restrained,
fair, open, and representative; an economy
based on free market principles; and strong individuals and
families. We affirm the God-granted rights and
protections generally outlined in the United States
Constitution, its Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of
Independence. The validity and applicability of these
documents has not diminished over time.
Accountability
Utah rejects the notion that the power and rights of citizens
should ever be compromised for supposed access, political
maneuverings, or popularity. We believe that many
citizens are frustrated due to corruption and greed so common
in government. Our desire is to see citizens once again
be caretakers and guardians of their freedoms.
For more
information on why we approach politics the way we do, see our
Issue in Focus: "How Citizens Enable Political
Corruption".
Equal Opportunity
Accountability Utah attempts to hold all officials accountable to
the same standards. We are willing to work with all citizens and elected officials who are supportive of our mission and philosophy. In the quest for truth
and appropriate standards of accountability, we will
continuously search for ways to improve the services we offer.
No Endorsements
Accountability Utah
does not support or endorse candidates for political office.
If a volunteer supports or endorses any candidate, it should
be viewed as his personal opinion, and not the opinion of the
organization.
For the People, By the People
Accountability Utah has no paid staff, nor does it accept
membership dues. Our success or lack thereof is
dependent on people like you who volunteer to help. That
help can range from:
-
Copying and sharing our reports with citizens in your
area;
-
Organizing voters;
-
Assisting with logistics for town meetings and training
events;
-
Attending legislative meetings;
-
Passing out critical information in key legislative
districts;
- Contacting elected officials.
If any one person is doing an incredible amount of work, there is
something wrong. We are interested in sharing the load, not
making people slaves to politics. Visit our
AU Team page for more
information on our volunteers.
Note:
Accountability
Utah volunteers are independent, sovereign, thinking citizens
— not bound to agree
with, or promote, every position, statement, or action that
the organization may take. It is likewise true that
volunteers do not necessarily speak or
act on behalf of the
organization. Current elected officials and paid lobbyists are
not permitted to be listed volunteers.
