WYOMING
WATCHDOGS




GOVERNOR MEAD LOBBIED OUR WYOMING STATE LEGISLATURE YESTERDAY in his state of the state address, during which he rattled off his wish list of bills he wants them to pass. It truly was a déjà vu’ of President Obama with his boondoggle stimulus package.

Article 2, section 1 of the Wyoming constitution MANDATES that there be a separation of powers between the Executive AND the Legislative and the Judiciary branches. 

Do our legislators know they are being lobbied by the executive branch? As they sat and listened to the governor with his boyish good looks and eloquent speech did they recognize that our state Constitution was being violated in such a bold way?

Furthermore, did Governor Mead pay the mandatory $5 for lobbying our state legislature yesterday?

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)
