Ed’s Note: Julie Blaney is an indefatigable advocate for the Constitution and the proper role of government, especially here in Utah. Her fearless ability to stand up and defend American standards and principles were one of the inspirations for this publication. She has worked to drain the swamp and ‘Make America Great Again’ way before it became fashionable to do so. Indeed, her efforts, along with millions of other patriots, are what makes America great… everyday. You go, Julie…. and hurry back. Utah need you.

Meet the Utahns going to Washington to celebrate — and protest — Trump’s inauguration

Julie Blaney has been on the hunt for years for a leader who isn’t a career politician, who doesn’t just tell people what they want to hear and will act, not just promise, to solve America’s problems.

She found her dream in Donald Trump.

“We’ve not seen a fix from either party. Both parties have failed us,” said Blaney, an author who recently published the book, “The Devil in the Constitution and How to Kick Him Out.” “I’ve been looking for an outsider. And Donald Trump fits the bill.”

It wasn’t a popular thing in Utah initially to back Trump, Blaney says. Most Utahns favored other GOP candidates. Trump grabbed only 14 percent of the GOP caucus vote, finishing third.

“It felt like I was the only fan in Utah for a while,” said Blaney. “And it was scary to tell people that I was supporting Trump.”

Having ridden the Trump train from the start, Blaney is stoked to be there in person, to watch the president-elect place his hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution. She never doubted that he would win. “Judging from the massive crowds that gathered for every townhall or rally, I was absolutely certain that Trump was going to win, that he was the man that would reign in the abusive federal overreach that has shackled Americans for over a century. I literally could feel a landslide coming.”

“I still feel disappointed in our Utah elected leadership for throwing him under the bus so many times. I repeatedly called Mike Lee’s office asking to speak to Mike. I wanted to understand why but Mike wouldn’t talk to me. He wouldn’t give me an answer to my question.”

Finally, Blaney adds, America will have a president who will put the country back on the right path. He has already shown that he is not going to be a yes man to any special interests. He is there is drain the swamp of corruption, restore enumerated powers and do his best to correct the path that America has taken.”

“I have complete faith that he is free of the chains that have held us to the drudgery for so many years,” she said. “He may be the greatest president since Washington.”
