Montanans don’t need big money in D.C. telling us how to vote

Recently I have received over-sized, glossy color printed postcards in my rural mailbox. The card tells me who NOT to vote for. It doesn’t tell me much about the candidate or the candidate’s ideas for Montana.

What it does say is that the candidate “is wrong for Montana.” When I check who is sending me this card, I find out that the cards are sent and paid by an out-of-state, Washington, D.C., group. 

How does this well-funded national organization know what is good for the working families and citizens of Montana? 

I encourage each of us to check where our information is coming from, to think for ourselves, to think about our neighbors and what is good for them, and to think about our communities before we vote. 

Do not be swayed by big out-of-state money.
