1. Using 150 to 200 words, please state your reasons for running for office. What compels you to take on this responsibility?
    
   I felt inspired to run.  I have been abundantly blessed with many gifts and abilities and feel it my duty and obligation to stand up for the people of Utah and what they REALLY believe because I can see that NOBODY else will.  Who are you going to call when injustice happens to you? Who will stick their neck out for the every day Utahn no matter how unpopular the problem? I'm sick of politicians who try to play all sides.  When you want something done you certainly wouldn't even consider calling a politician.  Those that dealt with Totally Awesome Computers or any of my other companies know that one call to me and no matter what the problem is it gets solved immediately and fairly.  I will be relentless in pursuit of justice and liberty for all and you can count on the fact that I will always be me even AFTER elected.  Call on SUPERDELL and things WILL get done in a logical and fair manner.
    
2. What do you consider to be the top three issues currently facing Utah? Please list them in order of priority to you (with #1 the most important) and explain why they are important to you and to Utah.
    
   The number one problem that faces Utah is the same problem that has faced every nation and people throughout the history of time: Unrighteousness before God.  That's the correct answer.  That doesn't mean you regulate morality.  It means a free system needs to be that way.  Free.  Those that believe in God believe in free agency.  That was the correct answer and I would feel dishonest not sharing it as I haven't heard a "politician" get it right yet.  Justice and liberty for all is my number one concern.  Lawsuits are out of control, business owners biggest nightmare right now is liability.  People can lose their entire life's work these days to any crooked lawyer with a bogus story.  Not with SUPERDELL in office.  Thousands of people are being charged with things that are just ridiculous or blatantly not against the law.  You will not FEAR your government when SUPERDELL is in office.  Taxes and spending is at a record high with our current governor.  I'll treat the budget as if it were the people of Utah's money.  If it isn't absolutely necessary, we won't be throwing piles and piles of money at it.  Stabbing a sharp metal object into the back of a child's head and sucking their brains out of the back of their skull certainly won't fly when I'm Governor.  About 5000 abortions per year are happening with our current governor.  A mothers right ends where her child's life begins and I don't care what the federal government says as God himself told me that one.  I believe the vast majority of Utah is AGAINST this atrocity and I am our only hope to stop it.  Media reform is another big one.  Freedom of speech doesn't include flat out lying about people and marketing it as "NEWS"! Neither does it include marketing pornography to children or those not interested in seeing it.  People should have the right to free agency and others have the right to be free from constant bombardment of things they deem horrifically abominable.  Both are possible with a little intelligence and planning.
    
3. What do you plan to do to address your top three issues?
     
   Work with a team.  Anyone that portrays they have all the answers is wrong.  It will take a team of the best minds in Utah to find and develop the best solution to all the major issues.  Numerous experts would love to donate their time so it won't be another budget increase.  Then with the majority vote on accurate information without false ads pushing either side the people of Utah can choose for themselves on the solution provided.
    
4. What are your most important accomplishments that would make you the most qualified candidate for office?
    
   Very happily married for 16 years without yelling, fighting, or name calling.  That is evidence of a heart truly full of love.  Love is not something you can share with one person and not with another.  You either have love inside yourself which you will then share equally with everyone you come in contact with or you don't really understand the highest form of love.  The purest form of love and wisdom is the spirit of God.  I feel the power of God flowing through me like Niagara Falls after a storm.  That's where true love & wisdom comes from and is the most important of all attributes to possess.  Even for those that are not religious they can respect a person who actually lives what they believe and is not ashamed to stand up for their faith.  I would hope people of all faiths would feel the same way.  People are very familiar with my numerous accomplishments so I'll expound on the ones that have been mislead on by the media. 
   
   I legally defended myself, my child and my property from 3 road ragers armed with a lethal weapon and did it without throwing a single punch, firing a single shot and without anything but a heart full of love.  The sign of a true martial arts master is one who can win a fight without throwing a punch.  What the media has twisted into a negative is in reality one of the greatest and most positive signs of strength under pressure.  I seriously doubt the other candidates would act so calmly and rationally if attacked by 3 out of control assailants.  I demonstrated the perfect example of a peacemaker.  I tried to walk away, said nothing, acted calmly, then tried apologizing and in 10 different ways tried to peacefully deescalate the situation but was prepared to defend myself, my child and my property if forced to.
   
   I liquidated the 4th largest computer system builder in the Western United states but did it without cheating creditors, filing bankruptcy or disappearing with anyone's money or systems that didn't belong to me.  I also ensured my guarantee of lifetime service would continue as promised long after I closed down.  I showed honor and integrity again when under enormous pressure. 
   
   Media stories ran rampant with rumors of me discriminating against people for all sorts of things.  Yet again I showed that no matter how hard they tried to dig up dirt there was none to be found.  They tried their best to discredit me but only proved that I was actually exceptionally generous to all people regardless of faith, race or sexual preference.  Who else in Utah has the media tried so hard to attack for anything they could come up with only to come up empty? I'm very content with myself that I have lived as I believe is right and no amount of digging is going to drag up any enormous shame.
   
   How great could it be if the worst stories told about you were actually proud moments of exceptional valor, courage, honor, integrity and charisma? I'm quite happy the very worst stories done about me all show I am exceptionally above the other candidates.  It is Totally Awesome that the very worst I'm known for is so exceptional.  Just imagine what people will find if they actually look for the good??!!
    
5. What skills, talents, and strengths do you have that enhance your ability to be an effective office holder?
    
   Love, wisdom, passion, charisma, integrity, valor, courage, sheer will power, enthusiasm, positive attitude all wrapped up in an exceptionally entertaining package.  Utah certainly won't be a boring place to live with me as Governor.
    
6. Why do you belong to your political party? 
    
   As does pretty much everyone I believe in smaller government, less taxes and less infringements on our rights.  I also believe it isn't the arrow, it is the Indian.  People will vote for me because I am me no matter what party I was in.  Utah knows that even though I'm a bit wild a crazy for their tastes from time to time I will be the one that most closely emulates and will most solidly stand for what they believe.
