LARAMIE – Volunteers for the cross-partisan group, Wyoming Promise were recognized nationally for their citizen leadership and for their efforts to get a citizen initiative on the ballot in Wyoming, according to a news release issued by Wyoming Promise on June 27.
Wyoming Promise received the Citizen Leadership Award from American Promise, a national organization leading the charge for a 28th Amendment to help set reasonable spending limits in political elections.
Representatives of Wyoming Promise met with Wyoming’s congressional delegation in Washington, D.C., on June 25 to persuade the delegation to support a 28th Amendment that would reverse the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.
Wyoming Promise Chair Ken Chestek, of Laramie, Vice-Chair Lynn Horton Morrison and petition circulator Rod Morrison, of Powell, urged the delegation to agree that excessive money in politics is a problem that needs to be solved and asked them to commit themselves to working on solving the problem with an amendment.
