Senator Coe and Representative Teeters Press Release: SF0104 Stabilizes Education Governance

*During 2013 session legislators were given large three-ring binders with over 800 1,200 pages of documentation to allegedly substantiate the necessity and validity of #SF0104. While legislators were led to believe they were available for public review, WY citizens were never given internet access to these documents.

The Wyoming legislative session of 2013 will likely go down in history as one of the worst that WY citizens have ever witnessed. If there was ever a time for Wyoming citizens to deliberate on running for office or organizing a local grassroots action group for their area it would be NOW. Primary reasons to consider running for a legislative district seat in 2014:

Wyoming is listed as #3 of the MOST CORRUPT STATES IN THE NATION

Constitutional Legislators need reinforcements in our state government. These courageous men and women are standing at the front lines fighting for our Constitutional Rights but they require folks cut from the same cloth standing by their sides to get a majority of votes to restore liberty in our state!

If we can successfully replace the governor, we do not have enough honest legislators to support him/her. Think about what happened to our Superintendent of Public Schools - what do you think the good ole boys would do with a Constitutional Governor?! At best they will block him/her from being effective, at worst they’ll again find a way to override WY Voters and remove him/her from office.

In order to successfully unseat an incumbent, potential candidates need to begin the initial stages of planning their campaigns as soon as possible - and WWDogs will support you to the best of our ability, and we will also rally as many folks as possible to do the same! In other words, you will not have to go it alone!

While we certainly encourage citizens to run for any public office, we are especially emphasizing House and Senate district seats that will be up for vote in 2014. See List of 2014 Seats Up for Re-Election Here!
