Where is Liz Cheney when we need her?

We are in Laramie.  We walked around the University of Wyoming campus and made snow balls from the hail on the grass.

On campus we saw the Simpson Family garden.  Alan Simpson was a Republican Senator and a Boy Scout during World War II.  As a Scout, he met some Japanese Scouts in the internment camp at Heart Mountain, including Norman Mineta, who later became my representative in the House.  Simpson and Mineta remained good friends.  This kind of thing was once possible in America. 

It is interesting that people in Wyoming have this myth of independence, yet when their member of Congress acts according to conscience and really is independent, they vote her out of office.
