Committee Sponsored Bill Summaries for the 2012 Budget Session

2012 List of Bill Drafts

 

 

WWdog comments on the following bill summaries that are posted at the WSL website. 

WE DO NOT LIKE THE FOLLOWING BILLS *Because...


SF 12LSO-0035 Game and fish-authority revisions.

The bill would remove specifications for firearms and bows and arrows from statute and give the Game and Fish Commission authority to set those specifications by rule and regulation. *BECAUSE it transfers lawful authority from elected representatives to APPOINTED OFFICIALS that do not answer to the electorate.

HB 12LSO-0024 Wrongful death representative.

This bill would provide for appointment of a decedent's wrongful death representative to bring a wrongful death action. The bill would establish factors for a court to consider in determining the wrongful death representative. *BECAUSE NO ONE has the authority to determine for you who your wrongful death representative should be.  NO ONE.

HB 12LSO-0043 Ignition interlock program fees.

This bill would require fees related to the ignition interlock program to be established at a level which pays for operation of the program, not to exceed $150.00. The fee would not be collected from indigent persons. *BECAUSE this treats one group of people different from another. I.e. social justice, social equity.

HB 12LSO-0053 Environmental quality council–executive secretary.

This bill would provide for the governor's appointment, subject to Senate confirmation, of the executive secretary of the Environmental Quality Council. The governor would appoint from among three persons nominated by the EQC. The bill would also provide for the removal of the executive secretary. *BECAUSE it would really be an EQC appointment. Let the governor appoint and Senate approve. Period.

12LSO-0203 Wind River Reservation – Enforcement of Traffic Violations.

This bill would authorize tribal and Bureau of Indian Affairs law enforcement officers to enforce violations of state traffic laws on the Wind River Indian Reservation. *BECAUSE it should only be tribal authority... local control. The Fed does not need any more control than they already wield.

Other *WWDog Notes:

SF 12LSO-0067 Secretary of state-authority.

The bill would give the secretary of state authority to refuse to accept documents for filing and authority to issue cease and desist orders. *This summary may be misleading.  Now that they have the actual bill draft posted we are reviewing it and will comment on it shortly.




Why you should care about the U.N. Global Climate Conference
in South Africa that concluded last month:

U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern said Washington was satisfied with the outcome:

"We got the kind of symmetry that we had been focused on since the beginning of the Obama administration. This had all the elements that we were looking for."      (Tech & Trend, December 12, 2011, 9:36 AM EST)

One of our Watchdogs received the following letter from Sheriff Richard Mack and we invite all of our subscribers to please take the time to read it.  You remember who he is don't you?!  He is one of two sheriffs who took the federal government to court regarding the Brady bill and WON!  (See Printz v. United States, 521 U.S. 898 (1997).  Sheriff Mack continues in his noble work for Liberty and is gearing up for a Constitutional Sheriff's Convention - an idea that we think is brilliant and a cause that we fully endorse.  We encourage all Wyoming patriots to consider supporting this effort in whatever way they can...




What would you do if you knew you had just one chance to save your family and country from complete and utter destruction? What would you do if you knew there was a lawful and peaceful way to restore the Constitution as the supreme law of the land? As a former peace officer and county sheriff, if I were to take the stand in court right this minute, and be sworn to tell the truth, I would, without any hesitation or ambiguity, testify to you and every American, that there is a solution, that there is in fact a way to secure liberty, protect ourselves and our families, and once again live in peace and freedom.

The solution is in your hands, it is within your own backyard; it is in your county. The solution is state sovereignty and each county acting in accordance with the principles established therein. It's you working with your sheriff and other elected officials to stand against the tyrant and for individual liberty. The bottom line answer is your sheriff. Ultimately, he is the one who will decide what is and what is not enforced in your county. He has the authority and duty to interpose himself on your behalf to protect you from all enemies both foreign and domestic. He is the people's protector. 

We have been working on this movement for three years and we are now ready to push this concept to the next level. What concept is this?  The concept of creating Constitutional Sheriffs all across America. The CSPOA (Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officer Association) is having its first national convention. We are inviting 150 to 200 sheriffs from all over the country to attend. We are going to train them, firm up their knowledge of the Constitution and their oath of office, and then establish a new declaration from the sheriffs to the Federal Government, that there are a few things these sheriffs will no longer tolerate from the feds. Literally, the CSPOA is going to create a nation of constitutional sheriffs. There is no abuse they will not be able to stop. With them on board the freedom train there will be no stopping us. We can have America back tomorrow, not next election (like that has ever worked) and not next year, now!

We need your help. We need you to pledge your lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to this holy cause. We have just started our “money bomb” and ask that you do whatever you can to help us pay for this Constitutional Sheriff convention. We are not asking for your fortunes, but merely that you do what you can. To make this all happen we must raise $200,000.  As soon as we do, the convention happens. It will be the most important meeting since the Founders signed the Constitution. All donations can be made at www.sheriffmack.com or www.cspoa.org or send checks, MO's or cash to:

CSPOA, 112 Ridgewood Dr., Fredericksburg, TX, 78624.

Yours in liberty,

Sheriff Richard Mack (RET)

    WYOMING LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

    Our state legislators have been meeting throughout the state for their interim committee meetings.  So what have they been up to? 


    Click here to find the recorded meeting minutes from each Committee.



    Watch-dogging our legislators throughout the year during their Committee meetings is just as important as tracking them through a legislative session, and this is the job of every Citizen.  It is during these committee meetings that both legislative ideas and political agendas on specific issues mature and ripen - oftentimes leading to bill drafts for the following session.  Thus, for every Citizen who wants to have a voice for our future, you must remain steadfast, "eternally vigilant" and engaged with our legislators!

    All Wyoming Citizens should make every effort to attend Interim Committee meetings and request to speak during public comment time - committee meetings that are held in your area and most especially those that focus on the issues that you are tracking and want a voice in.

    The Public is Invited to Attend Any Committee Meeting
