Ron Micheli for governor endorsed by state sovereignty advocate

June 9, 2010

Ron Micheli has picked up the endorsement from former Sheriff Richard Mack a State Sovereignty Advocate.

This comes as most are starting to take notice of Micheli as a solid defender of State Sovereignty, specifically the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

According to a press release from the Micheli campaign-
“The reason I’m supporting Ron is that he understands the issues that really are pertinent to the state of Wyoming, and first and foremost is State sovereignty”
– Sheriff Richard Mack

Colin Simpson’s campaign manager speaks out

May 20, 2010

In a recent letter to the editor of the Wyoming Tribune, Joe Milczewski manager for the Simpson campaign has come out against the notion that the Democrats have their pick in Colin Simpson.

Unfortunately he neglects the fact that the Chairman of the Democratic Party Gwen Hamilton, virtually endorsed Colin Simpson on the Simpson’s own campaign web-site.

Simpson’s campaign manager defended the actions of the Democratic Chairman by calling them “Reagan Democrats”. While probably wise to thank them for their support, this spin actually reaffirms the intent of Simpson to pander for votes.

Being the Speaker of the House, Simpson has been relatively quiet during the recent uproar in support of blocking Obama Care in Wyoming. Since there was a mandate from the Democrat Party to block the Healthcare Freedom legislation these actions from the Simpson Campaign could be a defining moment in his run for governor.

Hearing all this talk about these “Blue Dogs” and “Reagan Democrats” here in Wyoming mirrors the tactics used by the Democrats during the healthcare debacle in Washington, to hear the same rhetoric from a “Republican” Gubernatorial candidate may not go over too well with conservative voters.

Simpson’s campaign manager goes on to suggest that “Simpson unites people”. I believe we heard the same exact thing during the Obama campaign, and we all know how that’s how that working out?

More political blather about being conservative could only weaken Simpsons defense, Since Wyoming’s government has grown to record size under his leadership.

Just “politics as usual” and recycled rhetoric coming out of Simpson’s campaign, is that what we can expect from Simpson as the Governor of Wyoming?

Matt Mead: Rumor Control..?

April 3, 2010

The State of Wyoming deserves better than a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Matt Mead appears to be attempting to be something that he isn’t. Being a member of the N.R.A. does not mean that you do, in fact, support gun owners. What is Matt mead’s position on the abhorrent and immoral unconstitutional  Lautenberg Domestic Violence Act that made ex post facto law the law of the land? Does it mirror the N.R.A. position? That’s just one example of the N.R.A. playing politics with the rights of Americans. I myself will need to look more deeply into Matt Mead before I will cast any vote for him. At this juncture though, it appears that I will be casting my vote for someone else… What follows is posted with the authors permission, please follow the link for the entire story.

It appears Matt Mead has been deceptive while attempting to combat his anti-gun record as a U.S Attorney. In a recent email from the Mead campaign there was as stated a “little ditty” called “Killing the Rumor Mill” in which it states the following-

“We have added this little ditty to our email updates and will have a similar feature up on our website soon. It will be used to answer questions that come up or to kill strange email rumors. Just because you read it on the internet does not mean it is true. If you believe everything you get in an email then I have a bridge to sell you. ”.

It goes on with in Q&A format with this :

Rumor: Matt Mead does not like guns.

Fact: Matt Mead is a member of the NRA, a lifelong hunter, with a lifetime small game license. Matt is also an avid gun collector.

Maybe Mead is trying to sell us a “bridge”, because I don’t believe anyone ever said that “Mead does not like guns”, and lets be real here, being an NRA member, hunter and avid collector doesn’t make one a gun rights supporter does it?

“Maybe Mead is trying to sell us a bridge”

The NRA could be considered as a “strike” against Matt Mead. Just look at what this NRA Board Member Joaquin Jackson said in support of the Clinton Gun Ban. How do you spell “elitist” gun owner?

Or, look at this state level NRA group the Wyoming State Shooting Association (WSSA) and their take on things- Wyoming’s – NRA little brother the WSSA exposes its true colors.

REAL LIFE FACT- there is documented proof that Mead has fought on the side of the BATF and against gun owners of Wyoming, PERIOD.

ANOTHER REAL LIFE FACT- Matt Mead and his VENOMOUS ANTI-GUN past will haunt him in his campaign for governor.
