Activity

In 2011, the Wyoming Liberty Group criticized the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, arguing that $400,000 had been spent for each job created.[5]

Wyoming Liberty Group has argued against government expansion and for private sector solutions, arguing the European welfare state is detrimental to freedom and individual development.[6]

In 2015, the Wyoming Liberty Group launched a national group, the Pillar of Law Institute. The group's aim is to fight restrictive campaign finance laws, which it characterizes as a free speech issue.[7]
