The Wyoming Liberty Group Plan to Achieve True Health Care Reform While everyone agrees that health care reform is long overdue, how best to go about it is a point of contention. Some believe expanding government-run health programs is the key, while others believe Wyoming should focus its resources on creating affordable health insurance through free-market solutions that deliver competition and put the individual back in control of their health care.

| Breaking the Federal Grip by Nicholas C. Dranias Wyoming, as with many states, is enmeshed in a fiscal dynamic in which federal grants-in-aid inflate local demand for government services that bear little or no relation to local priorities or resources, thereby contriving constituencies gratuitously dependent on federal programs.

 In Defense of the Wyoming Constitution |
In Defense of the Wyoming Constitution by Benjamin Barr This White Paper offers a path back to protected liberties. It examines some of the motivating factors present in drafting the Wyoming Constitution, as well as specific rights guaranteed under it. Furthermore, it offers interpretative tools helpful in reading the document in a manner consistent with its liberty-supporting stance. Using them would help end the slow fade of limited government, individual rights, and the rule of law in Wyoming, that is, the very essence of what the Framers were so motivated to establish and protect.
