UTAH
     Nov. 2, 2010 Governor 
Card,  8 1/2" x 11".

The best choice for Utah's governor is the Governor.

Conservative Common Sense

Governor Herbert governs with conservative principles because history and common sense show that they work:
 
"I'm a fiscal conservative not out of political expediency, but by virtual of life experience."
- Governor Gary R. Herbert

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND JOB CREATION RESULTS
FROM LOW TAXES AND A FOCUS ON UTAH BUSINESSES.
Times in America are tough and Utah has not been immune. But our economy is headed into recovery. In fact, Utah is poised to be the first state to emerge from this recession. By focusing on keeping taxes low and addressing the economic climate for Utah-based businesses, recovering from this recession will benefit Utahns for years to come.

STRONG, LOCALLY CONTROLLED EDUCATION
THAT ENCOURAGES PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT.
Governor Herbert has worked hard over the past 5 years to successfully increase the amount that Utah has budgeted for education. He and Governor Huntsman put a record amount of money into our schools. While the Governor is proud of that effort, he also knows that dollars do not guarantee outcomes. A child's educational success is rooted in the support network within his or her family. Utah is blessed with both strong families and excellent educators. We need that partnership to continue to grow if we want our children to prosper.

FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE STATE BUDGETS MUST BE BASED ON CURRENT ECONOMIC REALITIES, NOT EASY ACCESS TO YOUR WALLET.
An economic downturn is not a bad time for a tax increase; it's the worst time for a tax increase. "Providing for family" comes first in Utah, not government budgets. Governor Herbert's state budget is lean, and free of tax and fee increases.

MAXIMUM PERSONAL LIBERTY REQUIRES PROPER
AND EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT.
Government exists to protect liberty, keep us safe, and provide a temporary safety net for those who fall on hard times. It is not to ration liberty, police our lives, and provide cradle-to-the-­grave entitlements. Government has a place in our lives, but only if it is "of the people, by the people, and for the people." Governor Herbert will continue to work to make sure our state government recognizes that.
