U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, recently introduced the Japanese American World War II History Network Act. The legislation directs the Secretary of the Interior to identify National Park Service units for inclusion in a network of historic sites related to Japanese American history during World War II.
Barrasso said much of the history of Japanese American internment during World War II is located in the West, including in Park County, Wyoming. The Senator said that his legislation lays the groundwork for protecting the history for future generations and it will establish a process to recognize sites related to Japanese American experiences in World War II to include in a historic network. The network will help improve access to the stories of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans who faced discrimination, involuntary relocation, and confinement during the way. Barrasso said it represents an important chapter in American history that must be preserved. Read the text of the Japanese American World War II History Network Act here.

Destructive inflation; crime increasing and becomng out of control; the border wide open with hundreds of thousands of invaders flooding into the country; severe economic dislocation with major problems in the supply chain and our senator is working on THIS? It’s a clear signal that Washington D.C. has indeed become a feckless swamp inhabited by people who either can’t or won’t take action to deal with society’s real and very pressing problems. This is embarrassing.

Had your king been re-installed as a dictator wannabe…this country would be in chaos like so many other countries around the world. The last thing America needs is that “thing” back in any political office.Both worthless parties are guilty of the problems in this nation…not just the one you people hate the most.

Look up what happened in Sri Lanka and why it collapsed, Fred, and you’ll discover why green is a bad idea. But I will join you in voting against barasso.
