I am a dedicated and firm believer in background checks. Every person running for office in the state of Utah should have one at their own expense.

These checks should include, but not be limited to, their IQ, honesty, integrity, temperament and any association they may have had with any illegal aliens. They should also be required to submit a full color photograph of themselves in a bathing suit to show that they have little or nothing to hide from their constituents.
