It would create a state-run government continuity task force, which would study and prepare Wyoming for potential catastrophes, from disruptions in food and energy supplies to a complete meltdown of the federal government.
The task force would look at the feasibility of Wyoming issuing its own alternative currency, if needed. And House members approved an amendment Friday by state Rep. Kermit Brown, R-Laramie, to have the task force also examine conditions under which Wyoming would need to implement its own military draft, raise a standing army, and acquire strike aircraft and an aircraft carrier.
I wonder if my state is doing anything similar. Better check.

There are many people in Wyoming who believe that the national government has abandoned both constitutional government and the citizenry. Before the Constitution there were the Articles of Confederation. It was a constitution in which the federal government had no control over the citizens of a state. It was federal, a federation of independent states.
The actions mentioned in the article are those of a sovereign nation. If the US economy collapses there's no reason that ours should collapse with it. We can still sell coal to Americans but it will be on our terms.
On another note:
The legislature rejected a bill 39-20 that would have prohibited guns in court houses. That means we still have plenty of bad apples but we're beating them. It also means we're not boloney.
If you'd like to read a novel about the emergence of an independent Wyoming read:
I'm glad this issue of "Doomsday preparations" has finally attained a level of legitimacy by reaching as far as a state legislature. I wish my state would do the same.

Why would a land-locked state need an aircraft carrier? Just wondering.
One of the few things I will give Utah credit for is the passage of the bill allowing gold and silver to be used as a currency within the state.
As for the national government abandoning both constitutional government and the citizenry, I think we are racing down that road. The current administration tramples the Constitution at every turn...

Wasn't that just in 2010 or 2011 that Utah passed that currency law?
I'm pretty certain my state has within the state Constitution a provision that US silver dollars may be used as currency (no provision for gold).
Here's the actual bill. An amendment cuts the appropriation to $7000.
But read the bill. It essentially says that Wyoming has lost confidence in the Washington government's ability to govern. I have never seen a piece of legislation that ever came close to this, particularly in the reasons cited for its need.
I doubt the bill will become law this time, however, because the session is almost over. But it's good to know that we have politicians who think this way.

Yes, just a few months back. I was quite surprised (in a good sort of way). I think it's a good idea and it does send a message to Washington as well about confidence in the dollar... or rather lack thereof.
The law basically gives the green light to any business in Utah that wants to use silver and gold for barter and/or currency, point of sale or otherwise.
I'm still struggling with Wyoming's need of (and especially placement of!) an aircraft carrier.
Also I am a little suspicious of their advisory board. It looks a little topheavy in power-wielding bureaucracy.
I do think it would be a good idea for the midplains and western states to co-ordinate efforts in the event of a collapse. Many of us share the same types of residents, resources, and attitudes that could make the central/west part of the US not only a safer and more productive area in the future, but by co-ordinating efforts it would take away or at least offer a more united and cohesive defense against the "Wild West" component of anarchy or Eastern-government force that would be initiated during a collapse.
