Senator Lee Introduces Bill to Protect Family Owned Farms

March 22, 2012

Last week Senator Mike Lee introduced a bill designed to fix the notoriously damaging death tax for farm owners. Under the bill called the Saving the Family Farm Act of 2012, this tax would be eliminated for family-owned farms and other businesses that are taxed separately from their owners (non C-corporations). The tax would, however, be applied if the establishment in question were sold off within 5 years after the death of the previous owner. The tax has often stifled inheritors with a tax burden that they cannot pay.

CPAC Speech: "Mr. President – step away from the shovel!"

February 14, 2012

All of you here today are the people who truly move the movement.  The mainstream media has pronounced the death of the tea party and the conservative cause.  But looking out at you this morning I am convinced that the supposed demise of this movement is just wishful thinking from the left.  I hope you are ready for next stage when we will restore constitutionally limited government.  Are you ready next?  I am here to tell you that next is now and a better tomorrow for America begins at CPAC today!

Lee, 'Mr. Constitution,' makes two more endorsements

February 10, 2012

Sen. Mike Lee added two more Senate candidates to his list of endorsements Thursday in a brief appearance at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference, where he said he needed more help to slow "the perpetual cycle of hole-digging" in Washington.

Sarah Steelman, who is running against Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, and Clark Durant, who will try to defeat Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, were the senator's picks of the day, joining a list of four other Senate challengerswho will receive Lee's help through his Constitutional Conservatives Fund.

The only House candidate he has endorsed is Carl Wimmer, who is running in Utah's new 4th District. Lee has vowed to stay neutral in the state's Senate race that pits Sen. Orrin Hatch against GOP challengers Dan Liljenquist and Chris Herrod.
