Dennis Sun: America And Its Foreign Ownership

Columnist Dennis Sun writes, "I’ll never understand why the U.S. has let China, Russia, and Iran buy any private lands in our country. America has to wake up and be very cautious of who comes into our country and buys private lands, especially our enemies."

Jonathan Lange: Education Savings Accounts Are The Answer For Parents And Teachers

Columnist Jonathan Lange writes, "The powerful education lobby treats parents as a problem, and 'privacy' as the answer. Its power is its money. Until now, that power was mostly one-sided. But Wyoming’s ESA program gives you, as a common-sense teacher, a louder voice."

Guest Column: When Conservatives Organize, the Left Cries Foul 

Wyoming Freedom Caucus chair Rachel Rodriguez-Williams writes, "When a group of conservative lawmakers stands up, says 'we’re organized,' and follows through with a consistent commitment to limited government, individual liberty, and fiscal responsibility — suddenly it’s a scandal."

Tom Lubnau: A Primer On Governmental Immunity

Columnist Tom Lubnau writes, "One area where reform might be appropriate is when elected government officials ignore the law and do whatever the hell they want to do. Perhaps, some personal liability for those people who get the government sued would cause some introspection."

Guest Column: Economics In Action -- Understanding Government Inefficiency

Guest columnist Island Richards writes, "Government will never be 100 percent efficient. Those who insist otherwise don’t show profound observation, just shallow slogans. Perfect efficiency in government is impossible because government itself stands in the way."

Guest Column: Judicial Selection Process Is Secretive, Controlled By Liberal Legal Insiders

State Rep. Joe Webb writes, "Wyoming’s judges should be picked in a way that is open, honest, and reflects the values of the people — not just the opinions of a small group of lawyers."

Dave Simpson: 'The Bad News Is, You've Got Cancer'

Columnist Dave Simpson writes, “If just one guy reading this decides it's time to go get that PSA test he's been putting off, and a cancer that is slow moving in its early stages is caught in time, then this column will be a success.”

Cassie Craven: Leave Our Children Alone

Columnist Cassie Craven writes: “Telling kids anything except they're fearfully and wonderfully made in their given bodies is evil. Saying there's something about them that demands medicalization is an atrocity toward everything it means to be the adult in the room.”

Gail Symons: GOP Leaders Are Caught Between Power And Independence

Columnist Gail Symons writes: "What the GOP is experiencing is not a violation of rights – it’s the discomfort of having to choose between power and independence. You can’t complain about house rules when you are living rent-free. "

Joan Barron: The Amendment That Bit Back

Columnist Joan Barron writes, "I would bet that the 2011 class of lawmakers had no idea that the amendment they passed against Obamacare would be used to protect abortion rights more than 10 years later. It opened the door for a person to claim that their health care decisions are protected by the Wyoming Constitution."
