I’ve had many questions about the status of the Views and Values Blog. I need to clarify the transition from private blogger to public candidate for U.S. Senate. My blog will not and cannot cover any campaign issues.
For information about my campaign for U.S. Senate, you must go to the campaign website that we’re constructing: www.Eagar4Senate.com . To follow me, go to the campaign group on Facebook at Cherilyn Eagar Principles for a Change . If you sign up there, you will get all the information you need. You can also follow me on Twitter.
All my best,

Statement by Cherilyn Eagar
Candidate for U.S. Senate
June 11, 2009
Eagar says that Bob Bennett has worked hard, has had good intentions and we should thank him for his service. However, his three-term record has shown that he helped grow the Federal government by trillions of dollars, most of which is now debt. She says that many do not know that Senator Bennett not only supported the bailout, he helped broker it. FEC reports show that Senator Bennett is ranked the #1 Republican in the Senate in campaign funds received from Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, the organizations primarily responsible for the demise of the free market. Those contributions also rank him #6 behind the top 5 liberal Democrats including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Eagar is the Vice President of Marketing for WebsTarget by Computer Camp, an Internet marketing company that services the real estate industry. She has been a fundraiser for various charitable causes from Special Olympics Utah to the Children’s Miracle Network and has had lifelong leadership activity in the Republican Party serving on Republican Womens’ boards, as a campaign manager, and as county and state delegate. She is featured in Sean Hannity’s book Let Freedom Ring.
She received high ratings while teaching at Brigham Young University, and at the top-ranked Orange County School of the Arts in Southern California. She was the producer and managing director of a summer musical theatre workshop in New York City for aspiring Broadway actors that the industry paper Backstage ranked as one of NYC’s top two programs along with NYU’s Cap 21 program.
Eagar served on the Women for Mitt committee in 2008 and says she agrees with Governor Romney’s statement that “Washington is broken.” She added, “What we need are elected representatives who will stand on principles for a change. Utah lacks the strong conservative voice needed to stand up against this radical wave of socialism the new Obama administration is riding. This good ol’ boy system of horse trading earmarks for votes must come to an end because it has been slowly but surely killing the Constitution.”
Eagar praised Utah’s state legislature and its leadership. “Utah’s the number 1 managed state in the nation. If I decide to run, it will be Utah to Washington, not Washington to Utah. It seems to me that Utah could teach Washington a thing or two. We just can’t keep running the country on a credit card.”
Eagar has a lifelong record consistent with supporting conservative Republican ideals. “As a child, I worked along with my parents as they helped Ronald Reagan get started in politics in Hollywood, California. I’m principled, passionate, persuasive and prepared.”
