The message:

For 20 days every other year, our elected lawmakers are tasked with this one non-negotiable constitutional duty: passing a balanced state budget that allocates funds responsibly.

Yet the budget doesn't seem to be the biggest priority for some of our legislators this year.

While politicians argue over so-called "obscene materials" in libraries or how voters return their absentee ballots or the English proficiency of truck drivers passing through the state, the actual nuts and bolts of our state's future that live in the budget – from education funding to essential health care services – could be left in the shadows. Culture wars, after all, don't pay the bills.

This is unacceptable. And our legislators need to hear from you.

Attempts to ram through bills with sweeping, catastrophic consequences for civil liberties during Wyoming's short budget session represent a continued failure to respond to constituents' demands.

Will you drop a note to your legislators asking them to focus on passing a balanced budget?

Your Message

Subject Prioritize the budget during budget session

As you grapple with the dollars and cents of the state budget this year, I urge you to remember that is your biggest priority while representing me in Cheyenne.

Message Body

It's my hope that you spend the majority of your time in Cheyenne fine-tuning the details of the state’s budget. The budget, after all, affects each and every Wyomingite every day. Please don't prioritize any bills that don't have to do with the budget.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
