Wyoming MassResistance Publicly Rebukes RINO State House Establishment

 

Wyoming MassResistance publicly rebukes RINO State House establishment’s leftist talking points against pro-family legislation.

Former Wyoming GOP House Speaker pushes the compromised mentality in newspaper column.

But Wyoming MassResistance parents respond with common sense!

Conservatives in nearly a dozen Western “red” states are fuming about this: Even when there’s a super-majority of Republicans in their state legislature, it’s difficult to pass common-sense pro-family bills that the Left opposes. It seems a lot of Republican legislators, especially in leadership, are covert liberals – and the voters have not paid sufficient attention. This phenomenon has even gotten national press.

It’s a particular problem in Wyoming, where the Legislature has only 8 Democrats out of 93 members. Wyoming voters recently booted RINO Liz Cheney from Congress, but the State House is still full of traitors to the GOP.

What’s going on in the minds of these phony Republicans? Too many of them started out ideologically muddle-headed, and then bought into the leftist talking points. Unfortunately, not enough citizens confront that rubbish. But Wyoming MassResistance decided to step up!

Former GOP House Speaker attacks pro-family bills

Tom Lubnau is the former Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives in Wyoming. He was also the State Rep from Gillette, which is a solidly conservative area. Lubnau now occasionally writes columns for Cowboy State Daily, a popular right-leaning statewide news and commentary site.

Lubnau was (and still is, given his continued influence) part of the problem.  Earlier this month, he wrote an absurd column attacking the efforts by actual conservatives in the legislature to protect children from the lunatic LGBT agenda that is engulfing society.

Titled, “Legislating Private Parts Is Popular This Legislative Session,” it reflects the odious mentality of the RINO establishment. Lubnau bashed three much-needed pro-family bills that were before the legislature at that time (but unfortunately did not pass):

  • Bill HB 50 defined a man and a woman by their actual biology, not their so-called “gender identity.” It also defined “father” and “mother” and would have restricted use of women’s public restrooms and locker rooms to actual women. These clear definitions are necessary because the Left has forced its radical “gender” ideology into public spaces (and even public documents).
  • Bill HB 68 would have repealed the obscenity exemption for schools, libraries, etc. As everyone knows, depraved school and library officials are using this exemption to freely distribute horrible pornography to vulnerable children without the legal penalty that the rest of the general public faces.
  • And Bill 88 would have made it illegal to publicly display, exhibit, or post, etc. obscene material where others can easily see it. The text of the bill referred to physical spaces, not electronic communication.

Ridiculous leftist arguments

Lubnau made the preposterous claim that these bills are about “regulating private parts” and “people’s bedrooms.” He equated these bills to the anti-sodomy laws (which outlawed certain perverted private sexual acts) – even though all three bills were about obvious public issues.

Lubnau claimed that legally defining “mother” to be a “parent of the female sex” and “father” to be a parent of the male sex “seems strangely reminiscent of an Orwell novel.” He stupidly had it exactly backwards. Orwell wrote about government changing the language to support lies, not reinforcing our language to tell the truth!

To attempt to bolster his “private parts” argument, Lubnau brought up a “right to abortion” bill, HB76, which was sponsored by Democrats but had little chance of passage and had nothing to do with the others.

Wyoming MassResistance strikes back with a rebuttal

When this column came out, it certainly became a topic of conversation in Gillette!

Lubnau is a well-known GOP leadership figure writing in a major statewide conservative publication. The column was an embarrassment to the people in his district.

So our two Wyoming MassResistance chapter leaders in Gillette, Ed and Susan Sisti, wrote a rebuttal. Titled, “Legislating Public Consequences is Essential to Civil Society,” it was published in Cowboy State Daily last week. (For some reason it’s labeled a “Letter to the Editor” even though it’s the length of a normal op-ed article.)

ALT TEXT

Our Wyoming MassResistance chapter leaders didn’t pull any punches. They excoriated Lubnau for trafficking in “the weak arguments of corporate lobbyists and libertarian accommodationists.” In particular, they directly took on his absurd “private parts” reasoning:

People’s private lives used to be private, but now LGBT activists insist on making their private lives—and private parts—very public.

From the obscene books in public libraries, to the explicit curricula in public schools, to the very public displays of obscenity, depravity, and debauchery in PRIDE parades and festivals, Wyomingites (especially their children) cannot escape other people’s pushing their privates in public spaces.

And they concluded with:

The whole LGBT agenda has gone from the bedroom to the boardroom and is now invading the classroom.

If homosexuals and transgenders would have kept their privates private, there would have never been a need for the legislature to engage public debates to seek public consequences to stem the health, moral, and cultural collapse which has ensued.

Needless to say, the reaction from local conservatives has been overwhelmingly positive. People are thanking the Sistis and Wyoming MassResistance for stepping up and confronting the RINO mentality that has taken over their Legislature – and telling the truth!

Final thoughts

Readers may recall our report several months ago on Idaho MassResistance parents confronting their RINO State Rep who voted against a bill to protect children in libraries. His “No” vote kept the bill from becoming law in Idaho! He tried to defend his vote using some leftist talking points he likely picked up in the State House, but the parents aren’t buying it at all. These legislators need to be directly challenged.

This needs to happen across the Western states. Legislators must be directly held accountable for their actions and their statements. MassResistance is committed to helping local pro-family people turn this terrible problem around!

Wyoming Republican Party Celebrates Tax Reform, Election 2018 Chances

SmallGOP2.png
Greetings Arthur --
I've just returned from the Republican National Committee's winter meeting in Washington, DC.  Here are some highlights of the terrific gathering:  

National Committeeman Richard George of Powell and National Committeewoman Marti Halverson of Etna and I were treated to a luncheon featuring Vice President Pence.  The Vice President delivered an exciting and passionate speech, providing a long list of accomplishments by this administration in its first year.  He reminded us to pray for our divided country.
We were fortunate to attend a dinner at the Trump Internation Hotel near the White House. President Trump delivered a very candid and heartfelt talk to the crowd of 300 plus. The President then entertained a time of Q&A. It was a grand evening with so many commenting on how natural and comfortable President Donald J. Trump appeared during his address.
Other highlights during the packed 3 days were RNC fundraising training, chairman reports from every state and some of territories, and subcommittee meetings where rules and resolutions were debated and passed. We learned the Western region is growing more red - and I reminded everyone that Wyoming leads the way in solid support for our President and our conservative agenda. Washington State appears to be the biggest surprise and hope with the largest gains in Republican elected officials
This past year marks some exciting milestones - all with due cause for celebration:
>> 2.4 million jobs added to the US economy
>> A tax cut bill we haven’t seen the likes of in a generation
>> 22 regulations eliminated for every new one written
>> Military spending prioritized for the first time in 10 years
>> ObamaCare mandate eliminated!
>> RNC raised $134 million, most ever in an off-election year, and has no debt
>> DNC is $5 million in debt and only has $400,00 cash on hand
That is a fine list to celebrate, but history gives us a grim reminder: The off-cycle elections after a Republican President is elected is typically a swing to the opposition party. Even though the RNC is in the best position it can be going in to these mid-term elections, NO ONE is taking anything for granted. Wyoming is no exception. We understand that democrats nationally and in our state have awakened. They are angry and motivated to win.
We must by determined to not only hold our ground in Wyoming, but avoid complacency and fiercely take on each race in earnest. This will require action from every Republican in this great state. The WYGOP needs to hear from you. We need financial resources and volunteers. We need your help in getting out the vote. There are numerous excellent tools at our disposal and we need help from fellow Republicans to implement them to victory. Join with us to plant the theme “When Republican values win, Wyoming wins!” Consider contributing now to support our efforts:  Click Here to Contribute

You can start by planning to attend the Lincoln Day Dinner on February 23rd in Cheyenne. It will be an enjoyable time of dining with and appreciating our Republican legislators.  Details are at LaramieCountyGOP.com.
There is much to celebrate in our nation and across Wyoming. Join forces with the WYGOP to keep the good times rolling.
See you in Cheyenne later this month,
Frank
Chairman W. Frank Eathorne
