Cleon Skousen was a pivotal figure in Cherilyn Eagar’s life,
his son-in-law now endorses her candidacy.
As a child, I remember Cleon Skousen, author of The 5,000 Year Leap. He stayed in our home in Hollywood, California, to give presentations on two of his earlier works, The Naked Communist and The Naked Capitalist, and a review of Carroll Quigley’s book Tragedy and Hope.
Skousen was pivotal in helping me frame my views of the Founders and the Constitution and I used his later books, such as The 5,000 Year Leap, to train my children in the founding of America.
Cleon Skousen has passed on, but I’m pleased to announce that his son-in-law, Glenn Kimber, has endorsed our campaign for the U.S. Senate. Dr. Kimber is president and founder of The Thomas Jefferson Center for Constitutional Studies. Here is an excerpt from his endorsement article (full text here):
“Elections that are based upon emotions rather than righteous principles will lead to the evils that all Americans should shun and fight against.
“As Americans, we must stop going to the polls to pool our mutual ignorance. We must become informed about our Constitution. We must remind ourselves of Benjamin Franklin’s wise council when he said, ‘if we shall be divided by our little partial, local interests, our projects will be confounded and we ourselves shall become a reproach and a byword down to future ages.’
“So in conclusion, let us consider ‘What is right and what is left.’ All of us need to study the inspired Founders and what they stood for. Then, we can use their Constitutional principles as the standard and measurement for those who wish to be our elected officials. Our nation’s motto, In God We Trust, can only take effect if God can trust in us.
“I have looked quite closely and with great interest, at those running for the U.S. Senate here in Utah. . . . In so doing I have determined that, in my opinion, at this time, the candidate who is closest to the Founders’ philosophy is Cherilyn Eagar.”
Glenn Kimber, The Thomas Jefferson Center
