Sheep in the flock

Recently is has become obvious that many good old “party following” clan has done it again. I am referring to pure party following voters who just think the same old way of getting things done is fine.  

When our public lands get sold off by Sens. Steve Daines and Tim Sheehy, I am sure you all will blame someone else, but the blame lies with the ones who elected them. You were warned. This would be your fault for blindly following billionaires, as if they care at all about you. They don’t.  

This spectacle has been a land grab supported by a flock of sheep that will both be unaware of what actually is going on, but also will continue to support them because it’s warm inside the insulation of the flock. 

But if you have trust fund or corporate money, you are in the clear. You will be able to pay top dollar for our public lands and then fence them off.  When you do that, please post a sign to remind the voters who supported Daines and Sheehy, that this is what they wanted.  

Definitely frustrated as I write this, but let’s all notice I was able to convey this message without trying to insult or berate those who don’t share by viewpoint. And remember, elections are coming.

Mothers

May we be mothers, when we want, how we want and if we want.
