Ban Books. Ban Speech. Pretend You Support Freedom.
UPDATE: The Campbell County Library Board voted 4-1 to remove the Director.
Just in case you didn’t think the fight is real, please note that an organization based in another state is still hard at work banning books in Wyoming. As a result of that organization’s efforts, today at 3pm the Campbell County Library Board is planning to meet, probably to fire their award-winning Library Director.
Here’s a story about it from the County17.com news outfit.
And some backstory from various sources:

Casper Star Tribune re: backstory, behind paywall

That’s Where I Live
Some folks have arrived!
I asked one of the local musicians at the Johnson/Sheridan County Dems “Here For Good” event last Saturday if he would care to make a statement for the camera as to why he’s a Wyoming Democrat. His response cheered me up:
“Why a WyoDem? Because that’s where I live!”
(Then he went right back to tuning his fiddle so I didn’t get it on camera.)
Anyway, several folks were eager to let it be known! Have a look at all three videos in this YouTube playlist.
Please share on your preferred internet whooziedingers as widely as you’d like!
Why are You a Wyoming Democrat?
