Citing public concern about legislative ethics and inaction on the part of the legislature, UEG representatives asked Utahns to join in the effort to demand responsible behavior from their legislators. "The Utah State Legislature's failure to enact meaningful ethics reform and to effectively monitor its members necessitates action from the public," said Kim Burningham, a former Republican legislator.
A group of active supporters, Republicans, Democrats and Independents, including former legislators attended the launch. "Utahns from all walks of life are concerned about this issue, said David Irvine, another former Republican legislator. "The time is now for citizens to step forward and address the lapses in legislative behavior that are demeaning our democratic form of government."
