Waging War on ESG &
the 'Woke' Agenda




The Environmental and Social
Governance (ESG) movement, which among other methods attempts to
deny financial services to industries the woke mob disagrees with
politically, has become one of the greatest threats to Wyoming
families, communities and businesses. It threatens to upend our
vital energy industry and also attempts to sabotage our
fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

The ESG movement is hardly the
first attempt by the radical left to achieve its policy goals
through backdoor methods. During the Obama administration, we
witnessed this when the Department of Justice wrongfully targeted
banks that worked with firearm companies under Operation Choke
Point.

These radical attempts serve as a
reminder that our liberties must be actively safeguarded or we
risk losing them, and trust me - I will not let our freedoms slip
away. That is why I cosponsored the Safe and Fair Enforcement
Regulation (SAFER) Banking Act which would secure historic
protections for energy companies and gun manufacturers and ensure
these industries have access to banking and other financial
services.

All legal businesses should have
access to bank accounts, and this legislation makes sure the
federal government cannot pick winners and losers when it comes
to providing access to financial services.

While this legislation would
provide access to banking for legal state cannabis businesses, I
oppose making cannabis legal federally. This week, I introduced
legislation to ensure the FDA cannot change the classification of
marijuana, essentially legalizing it, without congressional
approval.

I will always stand against the
tyranny of big government to ensure that the freedoms we cherish
so dearly in Wyoming are protected now and in the future.


Happy Trails,









Senator Lummis' Week in Pictures






This week, I celebrated 30 years
of the Western Caucus serving as the voice for the west and rural
America in Washington. The Western Caucus has taken on the most
important issues facing the west from public land management to
energy production. I am honored to be carrying on the legacy of
fighting for the west as Chair of the Senate Western Caucus.












I joined Senator JD Vance (R-OH)
and several of my senate colleagues at a press conference this
week to discuss the Freedom to Breathe Act which seeks to ban any
future attempt to force federal mask mandates on the people of
Wyoming. Mask mandates were a central part of the tremendous
government overreach that occurred during COVID-19. I am
committed to preventing the Biden administration from further
trampling all over the freedom of the people of Wyoming through
unnecessary mandates. Click here to watch the video.











I had the pleasure of getting to
spend time with Northern Arapaho Tribal Engineering Department
Director Jola WallowingBull before she participated in a hearing
for the Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Fisheries,
Water, and Wildlife focused on examining the importance of
federal drinking water and wastewater infrastructure investment
for tribal communities. Click here to watch my questioning during
the hearing.



























WORKING
IN WASHINGTON



Legislative Actions:


I introduced the
Deferring Executive Authority (DEA) Act to give Congress final
approval over the legalization of marijuana.

Congress
makes the laws in this country, not D.C. bureaucrats. The
American people through their elected representatives in the
Senate and House should have the final say on such a momentous
change as the legalization of marijuana.


I joined Senator
Ted Cruz (R-TX) in introducing the Secure Our Border Act which
seeks to take the necessary steps to regain control of our border
by building a wall, hiring more Border Patrol agents, tightening
asylum laws and much more.

This bill
will protect Wyoming by restoring order at the border and
fighting back against murderous drug cartels who have poisoned
our communities with deadly fentanyl.














WORKING
IN WYOMING



Working for Wyoming:
I was disappointed to
learn that 21 national parks no longer accept cash as payment to
enter. Having a credit card should not be a requirement to enjoy
the great outdoors which is why I introduced the Protecting
Access to Recreation with Cash (PARC) Act, which would require
national parks to accept cash as a form of payment for entrance
fees.

This bill will ensure
that people in Wyoming have access to the spectacular array of
national parks across our country and that tourists from around
the world will continue to be able to visit Wyoming's national
parks without hassle.












GRANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR WYOMING






The Department of Agriculture
announced $50 million worth of grants for farm trials through
conservation innovation grants. These grants are designed to
stimulate the adoption and evaluation of innovative conservation
approaches in partnership with agricultural producers. For 2023,
applications will be accepted from eligible entities for projects
addressing at least one of the following priorities: irrigation
management technologies; feed management and enteric methane
reduction; grazing lands; nutrient management; and soil health
demonstration trials.

WYOMING SHOUT OUT






Giving our children the gift of a
quality education is truly one of the most important things we
can do to ensure that the next generation will have the
opportunities they deserve. This week, two Wyoming elementary
schools, Sagewood Elementary in Casper and Southside Elementary
School in Powell, earned the prestigious distinction of being
recognized as 2023 National Blue Ribbon Schools, our nation's
highest honor for public schools.

Now in its 40th year, the
National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has recognized more than
9,700 schools with about 10,000 awards. Congratulations to the
students, teachers and parents who have demonstrated the
dedication to excellence required to earn this high honor.
