You have done an amazing job in getting to the ballot box and voting with your hearts and souls. We have made historic changes in leadership across this country. But lo and behold, the old Guard is still not listening well to the voices of the concerned citizens. They are still stuck in that liberal feel good agenda. Well, we are here to tell you that this feel good agenda only promotes more of the same socialist expensive programs. These socialist programs are killing this country with extreme debt burdens. Do you know that Mandatory Spending on the Federal level is 55% of the budget? In recent meetings and discussions with many legislators in our State, it has become apparent that they too are in to the feel good attitude. They are wary of making any significant changes to State Budgets. We hear numbers like 5-10%. This is an outrage, considering Brian Schweitzer has increased spending nearly 50%. It is also outrageous considering Montana has a looming budget deficit of nearly $400 million. If we do not take serious charge of cutting budgets then the only option to balance budget is to increase taxes on the taxpayer. Now keep in mind that average wages in Montana rank $47 in the country. Average wages are barely above the poverty level. Our goal and the purpose for this transmission, is to keep all of you on the alert as to what is going on in Helena. We will be sending out many notices for you to respond to your appropriate legislator on these issues. We need to hold our legislators feet to the fire. We need them to present bills and get them to the Governor's desk to repeal Obamacare, increase our power on state's rights, CUT the ridiculous sized budget that Brian Schweitzer has so greatly put in to place, abolish the 3% business tax to bring business back to Montana and increase our extraction of natural resources. The list goes on and on and on but I'll stop there. We are sitting on the largest supply of oil, gas and coal.....and because of people who hold leadership positions in Montana like Brian Schweitzer we are still sitting idle on these resources. Together we have a huge voice; independently we have little power for change. This is your chance to continue the change that we have set in motion. This is your chance to save America and return it to its once proud State. So please watch for our email bombs as the internet labels them after the first of the year. Monitoring this legislative activity is going to require a lot of work on our part. There is a new website which will specifically monitor all legislation that hits Helena. Please check it out at http://www.bigskylegalert.com/index.php or http://polymontana.com/ . Feel free to email us at any time with questions on current legislation or ideas that you have for legislation. We will be sure that they get to Helena and to the right people. Also, feel free to continue to bombard the inboxes of your elected officials. You can find all of their contact information at http://leg.mt.gov/css/default.asp. |
