Last week on April 28, 2016 Senator Curt Bramble came to visit the Provo Rotary Club. He declared that we get what we earn and it is time for us as citizens to take back what we earned, be true to the principles you believe in, and to step up and be counted and participate. To give some of his background, Senator Bramble has been to 52 different countries to talk about politics, even Iraq. He stated that our men and women are willing to go and risk their lives and so is he by traveling around the world to share knowledge about the US political system. In that way he represents Utah around the world. He is optimistic and has a great faith in America. We must keep our values at the front and think of what the possibilities could be.
Sven Wilson visits Rotary
Our speaker this week was Sven Wilson, professor and chair of the Political Science Department at BYU. Sven is also the visionary and founder of the Character First movement as highlighted on the Doug Wright show on KSL radio . For this week's meeting, Sven focused his thoughts on rejecting the populist movement circulating in today's politics and spoke about the necessity of a strong leader who shows compassion and isn't afraid to admit when he or she is wrong. Just another way to keep politics civil and promote goodwill in all aspects of life.
