Monthly Cattle Call
Your monthly roundup from the Wyoming Freedom Caucus
The Legislature might not be in session, but that doesn’t mean our work has ended. There’s a lot going on in Wyoming— here’s a recap of what went down this month.
Interim Committee Meetings
ELECTION INTEGRITY: Earlier this month, the Joint Corporations, Elections & Political Subdivisions Committee met in Lander. WYFC members led the way, making successful motions to study the following election integrity bills at their next meeting:
JUDICIAL REFORM: After our call for judicial reform, the Joint Judiciary Committee forwarded for discussion a proposal to incorporate much needed transparency and public input into the judicial selection process in Wyoming.
PROTECTING CHILDREN
The Judiciary Committee also moved forward with a bill draft to keep pornographic sex books out of the children’s section of our public and school libraries. Shockingly, this common sense measure was met with pushback from some Wyoming librarians.
WYFC member Representative Ann Lucas said it best in a recent column:
I didn’t start out to make this a library issue. But libraries made it their issue.
I just want our children shielded from adult level sexually explicit material everywhere, in schools and our public libraries.
Just move the nasty stuff to the adult section. But the libraries wouldn’t budge.
..…
Opponents call this “book banning” because it’s a convenient way to shut down debate. This is a red herring, designed to make principled, concerned parents look like extremists.
But the real extremists are those who believe there is no issue with young children being handed a how-to manual on anal sex while they’re at school or the public library – and yes, this is happening in Wyoming.
MORE LAWFARE
With the help of infamous left wing attorney Marc Alias, a woke lobbying group filed a federal lawsuit against Secretary of State Chuck Gray in an effort to throw out our law requiring proof of citizenship to vote in Wyoming elections.
Congresswoman Hageman discussed the phony case in a recent Town Hall guest column: WYOMING LAWSUIT PROVES DEMOCRATS WANT ILLEGAL ALIENS VOTING, NOT DEPORTED.
MAKING AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN
WYFC Chairman Representative Rachel Rodriguez-Williams was among the distinguished guests at the Trump White House for the unveiling of the MAHA Commission’s findings.
The WYFC is committed to Secretary Kennedy’s mission to make America (and Wyoming) healthier. Chairman Rodriguez-Williams joined a panel with NTD News to discuss the Commission’s findings.
CASPER TOWN HALL
In partnership with our friends at Liberty’s Place 4U Wyoming and Natrona County Conservative Women, the WYFC held a packed-house town hall in Casper.
LOOKING AHEAD
More of the Legislature’s joint committees are slated to meet throughout the month of June. You can find each committee’s agenda and meeting materials on the Legislature’s website.
Wyoming doesn't suffer from (one-man-one-vote) directly, but it is just as harmed as states like Oregon, Illinois, etc. that what to split off from their state. They miss the true reason for this effort, Reynolds v Sims, 377 U.S. 533 84 S.Ct. 1362 12 L.Ed.2d 506 (1964) which violates Const., Art. IV, § 4.
The reason is given by the late senator, "Illinois Senator Dirksen was a firm opponent of the doctrine of One Man, One Vote on the grounds that large cities (such as Chicago in Dirksen's home state of Illinois) could render rural residents of a state powerless in their state governments; after the Warren Court imposed one-man-one-vote on all state legislative houses in Reynolds v. Sims, he led an effort to convene an Article V convention for an amendment to the Constitution that would allow for legislative districts of unequal population."

Further as stated by the descent that the 14th Amendment was miss applied and that no state at the time would prove this amendment if the Warren court decision was part of it. NO STATE WOULD GIVE UP CONTROL of how it elected State Senators.
Federalist papers 39, 51, and 62 define congress which is the main feature of the republic form of government. Trench Coxe wrote about it when involved in the conventions to approve the Constitution. But like slavery colony and then state senators didn't strictly follow.
There are two approaches to bringing this to SCOTUS. Suit against a state for violating Art. IV, § 4. Reynolds v Sims. Standing using the same argument of denied right of citizens. Likely a few state with conflicting decisions are needed. Or pass a bill returning to the method of electing you state senators prior to being forced to change, sighting Art. IV, § 4. The outcry from Democrat states like Oregon, California, Illinois, etc. will get SCOTUS' attention.
