1984 Discovery Launch
The word discovery is embedded in all humanistic characteristics. Since birth we have discovered and have savored every moment into memories to regret or revere for all time. When we mature into adulthood many seek to discover new things through their career or seek to hear about new discoveries from outside our planet. In 1984, the same year I was born, NASA launched the spaceflight called the Discovery shuttle to achieve space exploration.

The Discovery shuttle has had thirty-nine missions and on Wednesday March 9th, 2011 it comes home to earth for the last time. In honor of Discovery's final flight, the astronauts received the first live wake-up with music in the history of the shuttle program, a tune written in honor of the spaceship; "Blue Sky."

Space is a cold dark place and yet astronauts are able to discover hope, life, and memories to regret or revere for all time. With over 6.8 billion humans on earth and a growing number of 212, 035 a day we find ourselves waiting for these new space exploration discoveries to affect us. American’s have teamed up with other Nations to drastically increase the pace of discoveries by having an International Space Station circling our planet up and running twenty-four hours a day and all seven days a week.

Since my birth I have always gone the extra mile discovering ways to comprehend other languages and cultures. These two vital significant parts of a person explains how the person communicates with others.  For example the commonly used political gesture “thumbs up” in the United States is an insult to those in Bangladesh, Iran, and Thailand. It is equivalent to the use of the middle finger in the Western World. When I reach across barriers and communicate with someone out of love I find myself discovering the true meaning of happiness.  

The hardest thing for any human seems to be discovering the definition of love. We cannot even find the recipe for love in the Universe. Yet I have discovered love in many facets in my life. The recipe never seems to be same but the outcome is. The basic foundation of love is something or someone that is always by your side for better or worse. It’s ironic how other planets in our solar system have always been by our side throughout decades as our planet has changed.

On the remembrance of the historic spacecraft Discovery I honor love. Is this a far stretch? Or is this an opportunity to pay tribute to those who for better or worse have dedicated their lives for discoveries. Discoveries that provide us an opportunity to reach for the sky and always do the impossible. Even if that means to be in love, something every person on this planet has in some facet played a role in searching for.

Utah Governor Herbert needs to VETO HB477

3/4/2011

I believe our elected officials must operate in the open, and with an open agenda and HB477 goes against that. Once someone is elected as a public official than their life is public and transparency is required. I am doing all I can to put my last-minute brakes on this ill-conceived GRAMA-gutting legislation

WHEREAS, the Utah Republican Party Platform states: "We demand honesty, integrity, morality, and accountability of our public officials" and further states: "We will work to expose and stop corruption.";

WHEREAS, the Utah Republican Party supports our republican form of government "by, through, and of the people" through elected representatives who are answerable to the people and who are empowered only by the consent of the governed;

--RESOLUTION PASSED ON SATURDAY,  NOV. 21 2009 IN BOUNTIFUL, UTAH. Resolution Supporting Ethics in Government and Opposing the Utah for ethical government (ueg) initiative

In addition to losing credibility as the reliable representatives of conservative principles, we Republicans are increasingly seen as challenged on issues of ethics. HB477 hides information from the public and this cannot be tolerated for the media and the constituents in Utah. I rise against HB477 and ask Governor Herbert to VETO the bill!

Utah has the Immigration SOLUTION!!! HB466 Migrant Worker

3/4/2011

2 Comments

 
Hello Representatives,

As you may know, I am an Hispanic Utah Young Republican Delegate. Whenever I find time I have attended immigration discussions across the State of Utah and I have spoken privately with Governor Herbert several times as well about immigration reform. I steer away from the negative rhetoric on illegal immigration and stick to the facts. I have an open mind and big heart when I speak to fellow Hispanics and fellow conservatives pushing for immigration reform. My own Uncle, Mario Rodriguez, has over 20 years of experience as an Immigration Attorney with Law Firm Offices in the U.S. & Colombia; giving me some insight on illegal immigration. I feel as if my best place for the Utah Immigration discussion is to be a peace maker.

I attended the House Services Standing Committee meeting on HB116, Guest Worker bill, and listened on that bill. Honestly, I went in against the bill. Then after listening to Farmers across the State of Utah speaking in favor of the bill I felt torn between the Constitutionality of the bill and the need for Legal Immigrants. Vice Chairman Dean Sanpei kept asking for speakers for and against the bill and so I texted him and told him if he would ask for someone torn in the middle that I would gladly speak before the committee. Well that was comedic. I realize that the federal government is the only authorizing agency to issue visas, green cards and other proper work permits. But my gut tells me and farmers facts seems like were likely to obtain a Federal Waiver. Yet my conservative friends attacked HB116 for being a form of amnesty for illegal aliens. For allowing current illegal Utah immigration to enter the Guest Worker program and allowing them to sponsor a family member.

HB466 has the common ground to satisfy the needs of Farmers and Tax Payers across Utah. I feel that the Legislators in Utah are definitely heading in the right direction. I throw my personal support behind HB466.
