Dell Schanze switches to Republican: Files for Utah Governor
From Eric Dondero:Former Libertarian Party member Dell Schanze, known to many as "Super Dell," has made it official. We reported last week here at Libertarian Republican, that he was considering a run for Governor, but not sure on which ticket; Libertarian Party or GOP. He's since made his choice. Schanze will be running in the GOP primary.
Reports The Examiner:
Super Dell Schanze has filed the necessary paperwork to challenge republicans Gary Herbert and Richard Martin for governor. The last time Schanze ran for the same office in 2008, he did so as a libertarian. He received less than 3% of the vote and subsequently lost the mayoral race in Saratoga Springs. He has also run for Salt Lake County Mayor against Peter Corroon.
Schanze is well known throughout Utah and the Rocky Mountain West for his outrageous TV commercials promoting his former business Awesome Computers. He's also a full-time professional Para-glider.
Schanze was considered eccentric, even for the somewhat fringe Libertarian Party. Some Utah LP members originally opposed his candidacy on the grounds that it might hurt the Party's reputation.

A Pro-Liberty Foreign Policy for America
No appeasement of Islamo-Fascism, worldwide Communism, Iran
by Dr. Art Coday
In order to defend liberty, protect our sovereignty, and safeguard the interests of the American people, we need a strong military and an effective, pro-liberty foreign policy.
Unfortunately, President Obama is pursuing a policy of inaction and indecision - apologizing to our adversaries, weakening our military, providing "constitutional rights" to captured enemy terrorists, and ignoring the very real threats to the security of the American people.
I particularly disagree with President Obama's ineffective policy with regard to the pro-terrorist, anti-liberty regime in Iran. We should be supporting the people of Iran, who thirst for liberty and freedom. Also, we should make it absolutely clear to the Islamic dictatorship that we will never allow them to acquire nuclear weapons.
In the face of threats by the outlaw regime in Iran to "wipe Israel off the map," we should support Israel's right to defend itself against such threats. In the United Nations, we should stand ready to use our Security Council veto to block resolutions condemning Israel and condoning terrorism. Unfortunately, as part of its weak foreign policy, the Obama administration has distanced itself from Israel, our best friend in the region.
I am sick and tired of those who tear America down, who blame America, who falsely accuse our great nation of "imperialism" and "empire-building," who wrongly charge America with "bullying the world" and "telling other nations how to manage their affairs."
Providing for the common defense is a primary legitimate constitutional function of the federal government. The federal governmnet should fulfill this duty honorably and reliably. Unfortunately, the Obama administration stands idly by in the face of the threat of radical Islamic terrorism, the nuclear threats by the brutally oppressive North Korean communist government, the growing influence of the pro-communist dictatorship in Venezuela, and the danger to our national sovereignty posed by illegal immigration.
As a great American once said "peace through strength" not a policy of weakness.
Editor's Note - Coday is a Republican candidate for US Senate challenging incumbent Democrat Patty Murray in Washington State. His media spokesman is Libertarian Republican friend and 2008 congressional candidate Steve Beren.
Air Pollution Causes Early Deaths
If governments want to reduce the cost of health care, then air pollution must be reduced. And air pollution can only be reduced when we stop burning fossil fuels. Air pollution causes early deaths around the world and raises health care costs. A new report describes how it causes the deaths of up to 50,000 people a year in England.
More could be done to prevent the early deaths of up to 50,000 people each year hastened by air pollution, [UK] MPs say. A Commons Environmental Audit Committee report said failure to reduce pollution had put an “enormous” cost on the NHS and could cost millions in EU fines. It said the UK should be “ashamed” of its poor air quality which was contributing to conditions such as asthma, heart disease and cancer. The government accepted more could be done and would consider the report.. . .
Pollutants such as ozone, nitrogen oxides and “particulate matter” – tiny particles – from transport and power stations have been blamed for contributing to early deaths.  Particulate matter is estimated to reduce people’s lives by an average seven to eight months, while in pollution hotspots vulnerable residents, such as those with asthma, could be dying up to nine years early, the report says.. . . .
Air pollution also leads to damage to wildlife and agriculture, with ground-level ozone estimated to reduce wheat yields in the south of Britain by 5% to 15%. EAC chairman Tim Yeo said: “Air pollution probably causes more deaths than passive smoking, traffic accidents or obesity, yet it receives very little attention from government or the media.”
Why isn’t this reported by the media? Particulate matter and other pollutants come primarily from coal and the burning of fossil fuels.
It sounds like the British media is as pathetic in reporting the effects of global warming, fossil fuel burning and pollution as the U.S. media is.
In the United States, air quality has improved from the 1960s, but there is still a negative health effect. It’s estimated in reports that there are 24,000 coal-related deaths and a total of 60,000 air pollution impacted deaths in the United States, out of 2.5 million deaths from any cause. About 3-4% of all deaths in the United States each year are due to air pollution.
LONG-TERM EXPOSURES — American Cancer Society Cohort Study: This study of half a million people in 100 American cities over 16 years has been audited, replicated, re-analyzed, extended and ultimately reconfirmed. The latest results show that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter is associated with premature death from cardio-respiratory causes and lung cancer. Increased risk of premature death is evident at concentrations below current standards.
Harvard Six Cities Study: This long-term cohort study has also been subject to an independent audit, review, and re-analysis and the original findings have been confirmed: long term exposure to fine particle pollution shortens lives and contributes to an increased risk of early death from heart and lung disease, even at [...]
