The following was first published on the Give Me Liberty Substack by Arizona State Communications Coordinator David Keckta.
Yesterday, on February 27, 2023 the House of Representatives in the Wyoming State Legislature chose fear over action; tyranny over liberty; business as usual. Before the members of the Wyoming House was a bill that would count on Wyoming to be part of the solution to the Constitutional Crisis presently before the country. It would have provided Wyoming with a chance to help rein in the Federal government with it’s out of control spending and burdensome regulations - a government that is currently drunk with power. It would have given Wyoming a voice in the Convention where crafting a set of solutions would benefit the people of Wyoming.
It is NOT a Constitutional Convention.
It will NOT rewrite the Constitution.
It will NOT Repeal the Second Amendment.
To state the contrary to the above three statements is to LIE!
Members of the Wyoming House showed either an industrial grade ignorance or a blatant, intellectually dishonest attitude towards the bill, attacking it with acute mischaracterizations and outright lies about it. Even one of the co-sponsors of the bill blatantly ignored the text of the bill and voted against it. The level of fear mongering on the floor of the Wyoming House was apalling.
One Representative stated that they “haven’t even tried” to address the issues with the Federal Government and that this bill wasn’t the right course of action. Another stated that “we need to act within the confines of the Constitution.”Article V IS in the Constitution!!
How can these “legislators” not know what’s in the Constitution?! How can they be SO ignorant?! The vote against this bill was a vote to kick the can down the road. The deliberate mischaracterization of the bill indicates the choice of these legislators to side with the tyranny of the Federal Government. These individuals chose last night to do nothing in the face of the problems we have as a country. They chose to continue the destruction of the Republic’s future.They chose tyranny over liberty!
