Hello Utah patriots.

Caucuses in Utah

are an important

part of our republic.  Staying in touch with your
neighbors regarding our constitutional freedom
is vital to keeping our republic.  We all need to
do our part.  The best we can do is to stay
informed on our current events in Utah and
nationally.

Convention of states is a great resource to stay
involved:

meetings.

republic, it is vital to attend your caucus
meetings.  Here is a link for more Information:

Zulip.

Here is the link for the Utah Zulip site:

https://utah.zulip.conventionofstates.com/

If you are having difficulty getting your
teams on

Zulip

, we now have several

people we can call on to make that
happen.  If you need help, reach out
to your RD and they can hook you up
with assistance! For our state -
Utah,

our contact will be Susan

Sigler

!  Let's get our teammates on

so we can make it the great
communication tool it can be.  We
would like to see a more robust
participation with this new format.

Using the

Zulip

App is much easier

than trying to work in a browser. Help
your teams use the platform in the
most effective way, have them
download the app here:
