Faith Community. Related to Sally Sato's posit to Stacey McReynolds, dated August 31, "Why would any church think it's not their responsibility 2 take care of our planet?" It seems to me what McDaniel says: McDaniel: As Presbyterians, Trump, Enzi and Barrasso made a covenant bleeds onto Earth Mother and the climate crisis (another cause of.)

September 11, 2019. Stacey McReynolds's Note: However, there are no endorsements in Wyoming. ...because WY is a place of bullying and lies? Maybe this doesn't matter, because if HR763 happens and the GND happens, SEE "coal is dying" articles here. Will WY then rail and despair the we are forgotten. WY might be forgotten because WY is doing nothing for the Climate crisis and has done nothing to move to other energy productions or economic support for workers. WY has only sold itself, been sold to fossils - thus making the elite and politicos rich. It will be a "aso there, we told you so."
