How do you get the media to cover your story? You make them believe that your story is a story. With that, I ask you all to submit many letters to the editors of the papers across Montana. We would like to focus the media on Budgets and Deficits. We believe that if we can get just 280 letters submitted then we will be well on our way to having the press cover our events.
Know anything about the Cloward-Piven Stategy? Ultimately it’s to overwhelm the system. The liberals are very good at doing this so we need to beat them at their game. Our goal is to overwhelm the media/newspapers system with our conservative opinion pieces.
Below are some sample letters that you may copy and paste then submit to the email address’ below. We encourage you all to write your own but if you do not have the time please send one of ours.
Thank you all for your continued support!
Contact us at montanashrugged@gmail.com if you have any questions. |

Copy and paste the following emails (these are for all the newspapers in the state of Montana)
Be sure to include your first and last name, phone number, and address. They will contact you before they print your letter. Once you’ve sent please send us an email so that we can keep track of how many letters have been sent. Our goal is 280 by the end of February, 2011. Please remember your letters must be 250 words or less. We challenge you to send 1 letter every day until the end of February. |

With our first LTE Campaign we would like to focus on Obamacare and how it affects OUR BUDGET AND OUR DEFICIT.
Please feel free to use any of these paragraphs below or submit your own words.
OBAMACARE: THE FACTS
Workers and Families Face Increased Costs: Businesses will suffer under Obamacare by facing higher costs. They are struggling to meet disruptive employer mandates; accommodate new taxes on insurance, drugs, medical devices and investment; and comply with piles of Federal agency regulations and IRS paperwork. These costs will be either passed on to customers or to employees who will face lower wages or lost jobs.
Senior Americans Lose Access: Many seniors will find that access to health care will become more difficult because of massive reductions in Medicare payments. Deep cuts to private Medicare Advantage options alone will cause 7.4 million seniors to lose current coverage.
Physicians Lose Too: Obamacare did not fix the Medicare physician payment formula, so doctors face a 23 percent payment cut in December 2010. The increase in the number of Americans enrolled in Medicaid, combined with the fact that Medicaid pays doctors an average of 56 percent of what they would get in private practice with paying customers, will test the willingness of many doctors, and especially specialists, to continue to serve the Medicaid population. Further, under Obamacare doctors face more Federal Government regulations and reporting requirements, driving up the cost and hassle of practicing medicine.
States Already Objecting: States understand the Obamacare disaster and have sued the Federal Government. Their goal is to try to strike down as unconstitutional Obamacare’s commands to States to expand their Medicaid programs and set up federally designed health insurance exchanges and to individuals to buy insurance or suffer penalties.
Federal Taxpayers Hit The Hardest: Obamacare will add a trillion dollars in new Federal spending and create spending "time bombs" set to go off in 2014. These come in the form of prohibitively expensive new entitlements for long-term care and for insurance subsidies (which discourage work and penalize marriage). Obamacare will also impose about a half-trillion dollars in new taxes over the next decade, which fall heavily on the middle-class.

BELOW ARE SOME SAMPLE LETTERS YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE INTO THE BODY OF YOUR EMAIL.
Obamacare is nearly identical to Romneycare, which passed in Massachusetts in 2006. Romneycare requires insurers to accept all applicants and charge everyone the same, regardless of their health status. Obamacare will do the same.
Because of these regulations, premiums for healthy people have increased (to reduce premiums for sick people). Also, the healthy can wait till they’re sick to purchase coverage. Since insurers must take all comers and charge everyone the same, there is no downside to paying a small fine and waiting till you are sick to buy insurance.
This causes a chain reaction: the health drop out of insurance pools, which causes premiums to rise for everyone who remains, which causes more healthy people to drop out, and so on.... Economists call this an “adverse selection death spiral”, which will eventually collapse the insurance industry.
Massachusetts now has the most expensive health insurance in America.
As Massachusetts goes, so goes the nation. |
