Maybe its time for Barrasso and Lummis to pack their bags.

From the CST:

Barrasso and Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyoming, did not oppose the original proposal, though Republican senators from Montana and Idaho did. But Wyoming’s congressional delegation heard concerns from a range of constituents. State Rep. Andrew Byron, R-Hoback, is among the Teton County residents making their voices heard opposing the proposed federal public lands sale.

Byron overnighted two letters to Barrasso and Lummis on Friday and emailed their chiefs of staff . By Saturday afternoon, he was on the phone with Barrasso. He said he has yet to receive a response from Lummis and her office.

Byron said Tuesday that he and Barrasso had a productive conversation, but the senator “downplayed” the concerns brought to him. Although Barrasso didn’t reveal his position on the public lands sale, Byron said Barrasso didn’t share his sense of urgency.

They're disregarding the voters.  

Send them home if they don't correct this.

They're counting on us forgetting this, and there's some outside incentive, or fear, for them ignoring us.  We need to be the bigger incentive, and they need to fear for their positions and reputations.

An article in the Cowboy State Daily indicates that Hageman is supporting Lee. That crosses Hageman off of my list for anything.
