The first Utah United Freedom Conference (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=257772) was held on September 18th, at the Radisson Hotel in Salt Lake City. The national sponsors of the event were The John Birch Society (http://www.jbs.org/), Freedom 21 (http://www.freedom21.org/), and the National Center for Constitutional Studies (http://www.nccs.net/). Additionally, there were approximately 33 local sponsors including The John Birch Society, Utah Eagle Forum (http://www.utaheagleforum.org/), Utah Farm Bureau (http://utfb.fb.org/), and the Utah Cattlemen's Association (http://www.utahcattlemen.org/), as well as several 9/12 groups and others. The conference event was held through the day and was attended by 375 participants. Morning sessions featured four speakers including Karen Budd-Falen, former Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management in the Reagan Administration. Budd-Falen currently serves as legal counsel to the Arizona\New Mexico Coalition of Counties for Stable Economic Growth. She addressed the audience on Legal Extortion by “Due Process,” The Ruby Pipeline, and WWP Story.
Speaker Dan Byfield, who served as president of the American Land Foundation from 1994-2009 and is currently CEO of the merged association Americans Stewards of Liberty, represented landowner's interests in New Mexico, Texas, and Washington D.C. He spoke of the little known “Co ordination” clause and explained how Co ordination is local control in a talke entitled: "Protecting Private Property and Local Communities."
The next speaker, Dr. Michael Coffman, has a PhD in Ecosystems Analysis and Climate Change Influences from the University of Idaho. Dr. Coffman played a key role in stopping the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity from being ratified. He is the author of four books on environmentalism, property rights and geopolitics and has been on C-Span on several occasions. Dr. Coffman’s topic was “Why America is so Deeply Divided.”
The concluding speaker for the morning session was Steven Pratt, who has a Masters Degree in Education and did postgraduate work at the University of California at Berkley. He is working with the Center for Constitutional Studies and worked under the late W. Cleon Skousen. Mr. Pratt spoke on “State Sovereignty, the Original Concept.”
Throughout the afternoon there were three breakout sessions featuring 13 different classes — all of which were focused on issues concerning constitutional government and individual liberties. Booths in the hall represented several of the participating organizations. The John Birch Society, for example, was present with two booths featuring books, magazines and DVDs to help inform the participants. Attendees found a wealth of additional knowledge and tools to help with their organizations
The evenings event concluded with Speakers Rep. Carl Wimmer (“Working to pass the Nullification Act to Obama-care in the Utah State Legislature.”) and Sharron Angle (http://www.sharronangle.com/), (U.S. Senate Candidate, Nevada).
More than a few participants indicated that the event gave them renewed determination and feelings of hope for America.
