Cheyenne, Wyo - If the financial markets crash significantly and protests erupt in the streets and anarchists take over, rest assured knowing there is one place you can go to be safe: Wyoming.
The Wyoming State Legislature approved the first step in its 'doomsday bill' which would create a government task force in the event of complete chaos.
House Bill 85 as it is known is sponsored by a Representative from Riverton, Wyoming named David Miller.
Miller told his colleagues Friday he doesn't anticipate anything major happening in America any time soon, but given the national debt topping $15 trillion bucks and so many protests around the country - why not be prepared?
Since Wyoming is a pretty sound financial state, Miller and his colleagues tossed around a few ideas, some of which residents found bizarre. One idea is to create its own military and state wide currency in case something awful happens to the rest of the world.
When it comes to military ideas, Representative Kermit Brown from Laramie said it might be a good idea to consider implementing a military draft or acquire an aircraft carrier.
Keep in mind that the population of the entire state of Wyoming is a tad bit less than the population of the city of Denver.
The task force would also look at ways to provide food for all of the state's residents in case food runs out. The bill still has to pass two more house votes before it heads to the Senate.
The tab so far exceeds $$$$35 TRILLION - the national debt will also be significant - as in Greece once the entitlements (including unemployment) are cut we will have unrest to be sure.......the level is yet to be known. The political conventions will be "lively" this summer.
IMHO, DAMN GOOD IDEA!
Some would say that the STATES are being treated as just a collection agentcy of the feds.
READ the first line of the 2nd. Amendment "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the SECURITY of a FREE STATE...
Folks really need to read and understand.
As the t-shirt says "The Founding Fathers would already be shooting!"

We are at a watershed point in our history.

And there is minimal amount of attention to that fact......not too sure the general populace TRULY understands the significance.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
That's pretty hilarious. The legislators have to talk about something while their cars are being ticketed for illegal parking (drove by the meter maid in downtown Cheyenne the other day). As for a militia, I do believe that most of us up in WY are already pretty well armed. Of course, there is the Air Force base right there in the Capitol in case we get too rowdy--and I thought all those fly-overs were just training pilots and checking aircraft performance....
True, Colorado has already invaded and if things get too bad we might have to set up refugee camps. Hmmm. Maybe there's some merit after all. An aircraft carrier would make a dandy refugee camp.
