Ron Micheli for Governor of Wyoming

On January 13th, 2010, our small valley had the pleasure of having Ron Micheli come and speak to us.  He is the Constitution Party's hopeful for Governor of the state of Wyoming in the 2010 election.  You can hear his intro speech here (an 11MB WAV file) and hear the question and answer period here (a 28.6MB WAV file).  Be ready with your computer's volume control.  You can also click on any picture to see an enlargement.

He says, "I am running for Governor because I love Wyoming and Wyoming's people.  I am committed to:

  • Creating and preserving high-quality jobs,
  • Controlling government spending and keeping taxes low,
  • Defending our state's rights,
  • Protecting Wyoming's legacy of open spaces, strong families, and personal liberties."

In the introduction by State Senator Dan Docstader, he says that many other politicians continue to quote Ron Micheli's past statements because he has such a great understanding of revenue, tax policy, and fiscal responsibility.

Mr. Micheli spoke to us about small businesses, health insurance, taxes, National Forest land, our Founding Fathers, States' rights and sovereignty, and so much more.

Some quotes from his web site are:
"Whether we have been in Wyoming for four generations or four weeks, it is those same values, those same opportunities that draw us here, that keep us here and that make Wyoming great."

"I love Wyoming. I believe in Wyoming. I believe that together we can build a Wyoming with a strong economy and good jobs, provide for a fiscally sound and responsible state government and a Wyoming that respects and honors our God given liberties—in short, the Wyoming we want for our children and grandchildren."

"That is the reason why I am standing before you today and declaring my candidacy for the office of Governor of the great state of Wyoming."

"I am asking you to join us today, in the spirit of our strongest traditions, to recommit to the values that made this country the greatest nation on the face of the earth. Please join with us as we build a Wyoming that is better than the one that we inherited."

"I do pledge to you today that the hour has come. My whole heart is in it. All that I have, and all that I am and all that I hope in this life, I am now ready to pledge to Wyoming. Together we can make a difference. We must do all that we can to preserve the noble heritage that has been left to us by our founding fathers. At the end of the day, I want to be able to look my children and grandchildren in the eye and say, we did it, we made a difference."
