2018 WY Senate race: on Principles & Values


Gary Trauner: We don't need government telling us where to worship

We simply cannot afford a country overseen by those who express disdain for the very institutions our Founding Fathers put in place to serve and protect the citizens of the US.

We don't need government prying into our everyday lives, telling us what to think or who to love, where to worship, how to act or with whom we should associate. I will fight to ensure that government does what it should and keeps its nose out of our lives where it shouldn't.

Gary Trauner: Constitution about granting rights, not about discriminating

Many of those among us profess to be Patriots while what the Constitution actually creates and protects. It is important to remember that the Constitution is about granting rights, not taking them away or discriminating against a select few. I will fight to protect our Constitutional rights. Here is a sampling: First Amendment. "Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and freedom to peacefully assemble" to protest against the government.
