Entitlements: Stop hurting the people who really need, look for cuts in fraud, mismanagement, there’s billions there. You have people working, getting food stamps, and school vouchers, rent assistance, chips and have a fairly new automobile. Please leave the people alone who really need the help.

       SAY GOODBYE TO NEW FOSSIL FUEL GENERATED POWER PLANTS AND HELLO TO COST EFFECTIVE RENEWABLE SOLAR WITH CSP AND TES! "Compared to other renewable options, at high penetration levels CSP (Concentrating Solar Power) with TES (Thermal Energy Storage) can be dispatched to displace natural gas rather than just coal. This is important because electricity produced from natural gas fired generators is typically more costly than that produced from coal." "CSP with TES can lower peak net loads in the evenings when electricity use can still be high, but PV (Photovoltaic) isn't available. So, it helps utilities offset the need to build new gas-fired generators in order to meet the electricity demand when the sun goes down." Translation: Solar power with advances in CSP and TES can displace, not only coal, but now natural gas power generation. That has been a goal that is now realized. This is the game changer that now allows solar energy to compete with not only coal but now natural gas. Why over mine and over drill through fracking, when we have the technology and cost effectiveness of storing solar power after sun down or sunless days? KT

      Wolves are native, ecologically vital and beautiful members of the North American landscape. Wherever they live, wolves are remarkable, natural predators that keep their prey species healthy and strong. Wolves have been persecuted and massacred for centuries, due to human ignorance, intolerance and cruelty. It is the very opposite of the respect, admiration and protection they deserve. Wolves are highly social and very intelligent beings and like all canines, they are loyal and loving to their families, their wolf pack. Brutally persecuting and killing such ecologically vital, sensitive, intelligent and family-oriented beings should be labelled what it is: unacceptable, criminal animal abuse and unacceptable, criminal killing. In days of old, when much of humanity was ruled by fear and ignorance, the terrible slaughter of natural predators was too often a sad part of the human condition. To perpetrate such brutality and unjustified killing of wolves and other natural predators, in this modern era with our deeper knowledge and understanding of earth science and ecology, is pathologically and ecologically criminal. Too many cattle ranchers perpetuate deadly, hysterical myths and ridiculous exaggerations about depredation of cattle by wolves, which is statistically insignificant in every state. Wolves much prefer their wild prey. For instance, in the huge state of Wyoming there are 1,300,000 non-native cattle. Ten of thousands of cattle in Wyoming die every year due to weather, disease, birth complications and from eating poison plants, for which ranchers receive zero compensation. In 2011, the US Fish & Wildlife Service confirmed only 35 cattle taken by wolves in the entire state. 35 out of 1,300,000... that is statistically zero. Yet, Wyoming ranchers are foolishly compensated for such tiny losses and just like other ranchers throughout the West, whine endlessly about wolves to anyone who will listen. Many of these ranchers constantly scheme and pressure federal and state politicians to kill wolves. These ranchers should be ignored and they need serious therapy to deal with their collective neurosis regarding wolves. It is shameful and disgraceful that any supposedly honest and decent American politician would bother to listen to such hateful liars and then serve their cruel, nonsensical, and unethical demands that innocent wolves be condemned to death. To add massive insult to massive injury, the rancher's non-native cattle graze on federal tax payer subsidized public lands that belong to all Americans, land that should be a haven for America's vital wolves and other native wildlife, including native bison, grizzly bears, mountain lions, prairie dogs, coyotes and so many other amazing members of the continent's rich natural heritage. The massive numbers of non-native cattle grazing unsupervised throughout the arid West cause tremendous damage trampling across fragile ecosystems where they do not belong. The cattlemen's reign of terror against the wildlife and wild lands of the United States must permanently come to an end. Let their well deserved demise begin by stopping these federal tax payer-subsidized welfare ranchers, once and for all, from their vile, unjustified and unrelenting campaign of demonization and slaughter of America's wolves. Many ecologically ignorant hunters and sadistic trappers relentlessly lobby to torture and slaughter natural predators that belong in every ecosystem. Wolves, like all natural predators, are miracles of evolution and keep every ecosystem they inhabit vibrant and healthy. Where wolves are present on the landscape, there are often more elk and deer, and these prey animals are healthier. No one would know such indisputable facts, by listening to the anti-wolf propaganda nonsense from hunter lobby groups such as the dishonest Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. There should be no hunting or trapping of wolves and other natural predators. They are too important as living beings. Nature controls their numbers very well without any help from wildlife managers and sport killers. Wildlife trapping is outlawed in 89 countries as out-dated and cruel, it's time to outlaw barbaric wildlife trapping in the US, as well. Wolves, as sentient, intelligent and family-oriented beings, feel intense pain and fear and suffer horribly just as humans would, when caught in a torturous steel trap or snared by a strangling cable. In the 21st century, no animal of the wild should be subject to such cruelty and torture. Imagine your family dog, alone in the night, caught in a painful steel trap by a delicate paw or snared by its neck to slowly strangle or shot in its gut while a gleeful sport killer watches it suffer an agonizing death. And all this animal wants is to be free and get back to you, to its family pack. America's wolves are being persecuted, tortured and killed in this way, as you are reading this, in the "land of the free and home of the brave." Free to be what, a heartless and violent animal abuser? Federal and state wildlife agencies that are now facilitating this shameful persecution and massacre of America's wolves are full partners in the deaths of thousands of innocent wolves. The rising death toll from these unjust state government sanctioned wolf massacres is in addition to the annual slaughter of hundreds of wolves by the US Department of Agriculture's hideous Wildlife Services division. Wildlife Services is a federal tax payer-subsidized, paramilitary-like agency devoted to the mass killing of America's native predators and other wildlife that belong across the landscape, even though they are deemed unworthy of life by selfish cattlemen and farmers. This brutal federal agency established over a hundred years ago should never have been created and must be permanently shut down. Most Americans are unaware of this bizarre agency of wildlife killers, as powerful cattle and agribusiness interests have succeeded in foiling any Congressional oversight of Wildlife Services for decades. When wolf defenders finally succeed in stopping this latest American wolf massacre, serious reform of these misguided agencies must be implemented without delay. Wildlife Services must be defunded and dismantled. The mission of all state wildlife agencies must permanently shift away from serving cattlemen, agribusiness and the sport killer lobby. It's time that these state agencies evolve and change to reflect the kinder ethical values of the majority of American citizens who have evolved and learned to treasure the country's natural heritage. Their primary mission must be the restoration, conservation and protection of America's wildlife and their habitat. That is an honorable mission to be proud of. We are a democracy after all and are supposed to be an ethical country. A humane and wildlife-loving majority of Americans and wolf friends from around the world, demand an immediate end to the unjust demonization, persecution and slaughter of America's wolves. Wolves must be placed back on the Endangered Species List and permanently protected from further hateful propaganda and malicious fairy tales directed against them. More and more Americans believe wolves should be our national symbol, alongside the bald eagle, which would outlaw the killing of any wolf in the United States. Wolves are vital, beautiful and amazing beings. To love wolves is to love life. Please help defend and protect them.

    Today I was sworn into the 113th Congress. I'm so appreciative of those back home for trusting me once again with the privilege of representing Wyoming in the House. It is an absolute honor, thank you!
