• Feb. 18, 2008 - 59th Wyoming Legislature
The first week of the 59th Wyoming Legislature has been completed. Wyoming remains one of the few states having a true part-time citizen legislature. Although this is a Budget Session, there are several bills that may be of interest to Wyoming residents.
- HB 0055 Water well drilling and pump installation. AN ACT relating to water well drilling contractors and water well pump installation contractors; providing for licensure; providing certain exemptions; establishing licensing procedures; providing for fees; providing for examinations and continuing education requirements; providing for reciprocity; providing for license revocation and suspension; providing penalties; making conforming amendments; providing a sunset for certain provisions; repealing certain reciprocity provisions; and providing for an effective date.
This bill will require water well drillers and pump installers to be licensed. Wyoming is the only state that does not require licensing of these professions.
- HB 0009 Campaign Finance Reporting. AN ACT relating to campaign finance reporting; amending restrictions on contributions from individuals; modifying persons required to file campaign receipts reports; requiring reporting from political action committees and candidate's campaign committees; requiring amendment of campaign finance reports as specified; providing and modifying penalties; and providing for an effective date.
This bill increases individual contributions to a political campaign from $1000 to $3500 per election. It limits the amount a PAC can contribute to $3,500 except for state wide candidates and that limit is $7,000.
- SF0019 Clandestine drug laboratories-remediation. AN ACT relating to public health and safety; providing that the discovery on property of hazardous material related to clandestine laboratory operations constitutes an incident requiring response under the Wyoming Emergency Response Act; providing for rules and regulations setting standards for remediation of clandestine laboratory operations; providing for securing of incident sites as specified; restricting transfer of property declared uninhabitable; providing for reimbursement of response costs; creating a clandestine laboratory remediation account; providing for reimbursement of response costs through the crime victims' compensation account; providing for notice and time for private remediation; providing an appropriation; and providing for an effective date.
This bill currently holds an unknowing property owner to only 1% of the Fair Market Value for the clean up costs, and limits that 1% to the actual contaminated site. If the land is not contaminated, it is only 1% of the value of the improvements where the lab was located.
There are many other bills being considered in this session including: SF 0011 Subdivisions-large acre parcels, SF0044 Residential Mortgages Practices Act, and SF 0004 Foreclosure-redemption period; so be sure to check out all the 2008 Bills and their status. You might find others that are of interest to you. Stay Informed and Speak Up so your Senator or Representative knows your wishes on the various bills.

• Mar. 4, 2008 - RE: 59th Wyoming Legislature
Pass this Word thru the blogsphere & to every news outlet you can find --in Wyoming, Missippi, Pennsylvanis & all other upcoming primary states. It is critically important to our future to get this information to the voters).
REAL News you won't see on TV:
Obama is the pre-packaged "New & Improved Chocolate Flavor" Presidential candidate being Marketed like a PRODUCT - hyped & PUSHED by GE and its WHOLLY-Owned subsidiaries NBC & MSNBC...along with Westinghouse & its subsidiary CBS...while slamming the Clintons all day every day. (Assisted by...CNN/FOX/ and a lot of newspaper & radio media dependent on advertising$$.)
GE is the 2nd largest corporation on the planet.
WHY? Obama is IN with the Nuclear Industry: Excelon Corp of Illinois has been one of his largest contributors from his entry into politics to the present. Excelon is the largest nuke operator on the planet;owns Con-Ed of NY; more nukes in Illinois than any other state.
GE, Westinghouse, Excelon & 3 consortiums of other companies are planning to build 29 new nuclear power plants. Their Wholly-Owned & Wholly Influenced "News" media are selling the Obama Product because Obama is in favor of Nukes.
In 2005 Obama Voted FOR the Cheney Energy Bill (H.R.6) which ENABLED the nuke industry to make its Plans to build 29 new nukes-by Guaranteeing Taxpayer Payback of any nuke loans that default. (No nukes were built for the past 30 years because the banks wouldn't loan the money - too risky)
Obama Voted FOR the Cheney Energy Bill-despite the fact the Congressional Budget Office rated the risk of default on the nuke loans at 50% or greater. (Does that sound like...GOOD...JUDGMENT to You?)
[NY Times has several articles about the nuke plans & a map showing all 29 locations; Wikipedia covers the subject]
Clinton Voed AGAINST the Cheney Energy Bill and said her Energy Plan does not include nuclear.
? "Its about the FUTURE...Turn The PAGE" ?
Nope. ts about Turning the PAGE BACK to the PAST: Obsloete 50 yr old nuke power plants-the dirtiest most expensive kind/centrally-controlled MONOPOLY POWER-instead of inventing New, Clean, Green De-Centralized inexpensive Energy.
An ad campaign has already begun on the TV media to re-package & re-name nuclear power plants as: GREEN & CLEAN -for-everybody too young to remember the 1970's anti-nuke movement and all the Bad News about nuclear energy.
Don't be taken in by the ad campaigns-Google:'nuclear waste dumps' & read about the hundreds of BILLIONS of gallons of nuke waste at the Hanford Washington dump; 140 tons of plutonium stored at Rocky Flats, Colorado; Barnwell, South Carolina; leaking into groundwater and rivers; plutonium released into the air around Denver from 500 instances of fires at Rocky Flats; stored on-site at every nuke reactor in America...presenting hundreds of potential "dirty bomb" targets for terrorists.
Is it true that Obama takes No Contributions/NO MONEY from Registered Federal Lobbyists?
Yes. It's a LawyerSpeak/Trick of: Speaking a Small truth covering up a Big Lie.
Nope, doesn't take money from REGISTERED FEDERAL Lobbyists.
DOES take money from STATE Lobbyists, Not Registered Lobbyists, AND the wives, husbands, law partners, aunts, uncles cousins...of Registered Federal Lobbyists. Gets money from the same big corporate donors as any other candidate.
Obama's campaign finances are involved in the prosecution (by Patrick Fitzgerald)and trial of his friend of 20 years Antoin Rezko. Some of the funds... allegedly...extorted by Rezko went into Obama's campaign coffers. Curiously, Iraqi Power Plants amd fraud are also involved in Rezko's trial. (Google: Obama -Rezko- Alsammarae-Auichi- IRAQ POWER PLANTS)
GE & the same wealthy people who sold the "new & improved vanilla flavor" Presidential PRODUCTS: Reagan & Bush/s 1 & 2 - are behind the massive ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN to sell you OBAMA.
At the beginning of this campaign season a large majority of voters were looking forward to electing Clinton. Then Obama stepped in and started the dirty campaigning that has created the DIVISION he so hypocritically decries. Obama played "the race card" so he could win in South Carolina. He was caught red-handed playing that race card-but the media blamed it on Clinton-even though they all knew they were pushing the Big Lie.
With nearly ALL "the mainstream media" pimping for Obama & slamming, smearing, and lying about the Clintons-it is truly amazing enough voters have seen thru the Media-Created Obama "movement"-for Clinton to STILL be in the race.
The only way a very small minority can CONTROL a very large Majority is: DIVIDE & CONQUER-Exactly the same Republican Strategy/Deception they have successfully pulled for most of the last century And ALL of this century, so far. . .
GE, the nuke industry/wealthy have hedged their bets & they will get Billions of your money via 29 new nukes IF either Obama or McCain is elected President.
Ladies & Gentlemen, Dads & Moms buy nothing GE & Westinghouse are selling - not Obama, not a washing machine, a dishwasher, 29 nuke power plants, or a garbage disposer .... because there is no garbage disposer for Radioactive Nuke Waste. Do not allow them to poison the earth and your children anymore.
