Thread: JOHN BARRASSO APPOINTED TO FILL SEN. THOMAS' SEAT--CALL !

BREAKING NEWS:

Note, I called the US Senate and they don't have a number for John Barrasso yet. Looks like John Barrasso is a Wyoming state senator, so call him there, tell him to vote NO on cloture which is what Sen. Thomas probably would have done!! If you have other information on him, please post.

GOVERNOR APPOINTS BARRASSO TO THE U.S. SENATE

CHEYENNE, Wyo. - Gov. Dave Freudenthal today appointed John Barrasso to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Sen. Craig Thomas.

"I look forward to working with John Barrasso as he assumes his duties
as the interim senator for Wyoming," Freudenthal said. "I pledge my
cooperation to do all that I can to make sure he is a successful
senator."

"There are many factors that went into this decision, and it was the sum
of these factors that led me to this choice," the Governor said.
"While I don't intend to indulge the speculation on why I made this
decision, I will say that I hope I made the right choice."

Barrasso's appointment is effective today. The formal Certificate of
Appointment will be forwarded to Nancy Erickson, Secretary of the United
States Senate.
