Lindholm, Laursen, and Wasserburger

Sponsor Tyler Lindholm (R, Sundance) tells me today that Sen. Jeff Wasserburger has agreed to co-sponsor our Reso.  Tyler and his partner, DLA sponsor Dan Laursen, are members of the insurgent wing of the Wyoming legislature.  Wasserburger is identified with the establishment.  To win we have to have both factions of the legislature (in Wyoming, there aren’t enough D’s to matter much).  Tyler says this is big.

A month ago Jeff indicated a willingness to be our principal sponsor, but later shied away.  I’m not sure what gave him pause, but he may have thought this was all some kind of “Tea Party” thing that he didn’t want to associate himself with.  Tyler suspects the spreading word of Kasich’s impending visit to Cheyenne may have brought him back.

We’re glad to have him.

Tyler also says we’ll get support from Liz Cheney.  Maybe she can help with Susan Gore of the Wyoming Liberty Group.

Kevin Grenier and the 250 More gang are raring to go, and are making plans to barnstorm the state.  These guys may be our secret weapon.  Since we don’t have any money, we have to rely on the merits of our case.

And the people.
