At numerous leadership trainings over the years, the main leadership lesson was “doing the right thing, at the right time, the right way, and for the right reason.” We as voters should do the right thing by voting for candidates that support Social Security, Medicare, public land in public hands, public access, reasonable and well […]

I have a dream. In my dream there are no red or blue states, only the United States of America. Regardless of where you live, one vote equals one vote. Big corporations are not people, and cannot buy elections. Rich people cannot buy elections. Any foreign interference is considered the worst form of corruption and […]

The attorney general should represent and advocate for all Montanans on legal matters dealing with health care, veterans, public lands and more. An example where candidate Austin Knudsen’s qualifications are in question are with regard to veterans. For several years Knudsen has been blocking access to a 35-acre park along the Missouri River owned American […]

While we mourn the loss of the wise and wonderful giant of a woman, RBG. I’m saddened that her death has become political. Her death, with her body not even cold has been surrounded by an attempt to fill her seat 45 days prior to the election. Have, we no shame, obviously not a lot […]

In the Legislature he […]

Trump’s ‘insiders’ are nothing but sycophants Montana’s Trump sycophants–Daines, Gianforte, Rosendale, Downing and Arntzen–brag about being among Donald’s insiders. Who better to represent and sponsor their aspirations than the nasty little dictator from the overrated and overpriced golf resorts, casinos and high-rise ghettos forming the banana republic of Trumpsylvania. Magnifying the glamour of Donald’s favor […]

Daines is worse than Trump. I say this because Daines and the Republican led Senate has within its power to rein in Trump, to legally call him out for his many immoral and blatantly illegal actions and to honestly discuss with their constituents the terrifying destabilization of our country that Trump is deliberately causing. Instead […]
