Burden of ensuring our democracy falls on parents As a citizen and a parent, a dark cloud hung over me as I processed the fact that last week’s disgusting and dangerous events in Washington, DC transpired in the country our children will inherit. The easy pathway forward is succumbing to fear. But as parents, my […]
Can Daines admit he was wrong about election? So, Senator Morejobslessgovernment, for four years you stood steadfastly behind our corrupt president. You said nothing as he lied to us, thousands of times. Then you joined with your colleagues in attempting to overturn our democratic election. You said that he had every right to challenge the […]
Daines, Gianforte not working for our needs Notwithstanding their recent unfathomable elections, it is more than ever disconcerting to find Daines and Gianforte in positions of not working to make sense of the needs of the people of Montana. Neither one managed during his previous elected position to find any way to come up with […]
Before too much time passed, I tried to sit down and process what happened on Wednesday. Here are my thoughts: Now that the dust has settled, all too literally, on the events at the Capitol, I wanted to share a few thoughts on what it was like to be there, what it means to the […]
Daines is unfit to represent Montanans As I sit here watching today’s news unfold, with increasing dismay, of the protests occurring in Washington D.C., I am haunted by past correspondence with Sen.

What was I thinking? What was I expecting? New Year. New attitude. Nope! Article on first day proclaims somewhat joyously that Montana’s minimum wage is raised $0.10 an hour to $8.75. Oh joy, oh joy. Reality sucks. If that’s good news of the New Year, what kind of world are we living in? Oh there […]
Daines: Withdraw from group opposing tallies Dear Senator Daines, Please withdraw from the group of senators who are planning to vote against counting electoral votes when Congress is expected to certify duly elected President Biden. As you are aware, no credible allegations have been documented by dozens of state and federal courts, governors, state election […]
Since the 2016 election, Donald Trump has careened from crisis to crisis, undermining our democracy at every stage. In doing so, he’s been enabled by Republicans in Congress, and this week, we’ve truly reached a new and dangerous low. With Trump still denying the results of the election, his loyalists in Congress are now doing […]
As a veteran in the state with one of the highest concentrations of vets per capita in the U.S., I just sent Daines an email telling him – His actions regarding the recent elections should be viewed within the context of the meaning of the word “Sedition” and that definition should be read aloud in […]
