Wyoming

can be detrimental to families and wages. I personally believe that a bag tax should be implemented in Wyoming. First of all, a bag tax would reduce the amount of plastic going into our landfills and oceans. By placing a bag tax on plastic grocery bags, less bags would be used and thrown away. We are running out of room in our landfills and reducing the amount of plastic bags being used…

spending two months there before attending college at Northwest College in Powell Wyoming. Once at Powell I plan on studying business administration for two years, then transfer to a four year university. I chose to attend a junior college first to get my prerequisites done for a cheaper price, but still get my degree from a University. Once I graduate with my bachelors I will have all the qualifications for the state of Wyoming to get my CPA after completing the state test. After that I will…

The Electoral College The Electoral College is a process made by the founding fathers in the Constitution as a compromise between the votes of the people of the United States, and the electors of the United States, where citizens vote to assist their electors who will hopefully vote as their state did. But the main question a majority of voting citizens asks, is the Electoral College fair, and is the Electoral college trouble for the United States as a country built on democracy? Even greater,…

The Marcellus Shale Play is a black shale formation lying under the Appalachian Basin running from Tennessee to New York. The U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA) estimates that 1,953 billion cubic feet of recoverable reserves lie beneath the shale sediment. (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2012) The EIA estimates that shale basins in the United States have a potential to produce from 500-1,000 trillion cubic feet of natural gas (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2012).

In a democracy no one should be excluded due to race, political choices, and religion. Certainly not due to where you live and should not count less. Ohio, Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Virginia, and Florida being swing states will determine the 2016 election (Lampen, 2016) Unless you live in these states, you will find that your vote means little and in some other states your vote is actually worth less than a citizen in another state(Noble,2016). In the first case where swing states…

History and Background Born and raised in the little town of Greybull, Wyoming. My partner and I grew up on our family’s ranches. We were used to getting our hands dirty and doing things for ourselves. In high school, we took a sewing class. It wasn’t too long until we were sewing two old horse blankets together and making skirts out of them. Shortly after that all the girls at school were dying to have our beautiful creations. After graduating high school being 1st and 2nd in our class, we…

In 40% of US presidential elections in this century, the candidate with the most votes did not become president (“Popular Votes”). This is because of the electoral college, which is the system used in presidential elections in the United States. In the electoral college system, voters elect electors, who pledge their electoral votes for a specific candidate. The candidate with over 270 electoral votes wins the presidency, regardless of the popular vote. Because this system completely disregards…

tournament. I had never traveled out of the state for hockey in my entire life, even though I had been playing since I was three years old. While my dad and I were driving from Meeteetse, Wyoming, my home town where I have lived since I was about a year old, we approached a windmill farm between Rock Springs, Wyoming and Salt Lake City. I immediately was fascinated with the windmills and wanted to know how they worked. After I was done with the tournament all I could think about was the huge…

The nineteenth amendment is to ensure women their right to vote. The struggle for victory took decades of protest and anger. Starting in the mid-nineteenth century, generations and generations of women’s suffrage supporters lobbied, lectured, wrote, marched, paraded, went on strike, organized, petitioned, picketed, held silent vigils, and practiced civil disobedience to quickly advance the United States of America’s constitution and obtain the right to vote. Many original supporters had passed…
