In Case You Missed It: Last Chance Patriot Has It All
The Last Chance Patriot Newsletter August edition is out. Packed with news you must have!
Linda Sauer with Montana Citizens Action Group (MTCAG) has good points on what we can do to prevent the PROTECT Act from ever becoming reality. To be posted under “Take Action”.
Ed Kugler has a chilling assessment of what we are living with today:
“We live in an alternate universe, as George Orwell and Ayn Rand wrote many years ago. We’ve recently been treated to the news that the Russian Collusion Donald Trump was accused of was a hoax, something anyone with a brain knew already. Will anything come of these new revelations? We all know the answer to that question.
- We must realize that what we’re living with today is the culmination of the long march to destroy America and fold it into a world government. …”

Your Future Is in the Crosshairs
Information shared at the Lake County Republican Women’s meeting on August 4 was an eye-opener for anyone who hasn’t already looked into the implications of the proposed PROTECT Act.
Those participating in the meeting – a larger crowd than usual – watched the very enlightening video presentation by Linda Sauer, a founding member of Montana Citizens Action Group. After the video, Tracy Sharp, Representative for HD12, added mind blowing insight into what the PROTECT Act actually adds up to – another attack on the Republic. We were not only given information – this is a call to action. Citizens need to stand up for their rights and the Republican form of government. ONE nation under God.

Note that most committee members also have accounts on X:

We were informed that US Representative Ryan Zinke HAS withdrawn his support for HB 3773, but while thanking him, it doesn’t hurt to ask him to put pressure on others to do the same! In the US Senate, Senator Daines is apparently still pushing forward on the issue (SB 1967). Hopefully, we can get him to change his mind as well.

Slides shown by Tracy Sharp gave listeners serious pause. If there ever was a time for grassroots to activate, it is now!

Montana’s Reservation Sovereignty Shell Game
Article by Bill Lussenheide on July 31, 2025:
“Montana needs to stop pretending we’re running a mini-UN and start building a 21st-century framework where sovereignty isn’t a political gimmick
– it’s a serious commitment to independence, responsibility, and the consistent one standard, rule of law for every single Montanan, no matter which flag flies over their town.”

Legislature Overrides Governor’s Veto
The Daily Interlake wrote:
State will reimburse jails holding inmates awaiting mental health evaluations

“The Montana Legislature voted to override Gov. Greg Gianforte’s veto of a bill that would use state funds to reimburse counties some of the cost of holding inmates in local detention facilities while awaiting mental health evaluations or treatments.
House Bill 643, brought by Rep. Tracy Sharp, R-Polson, was seen by many as a stop-gap measure to address rising costs to counties that have seen increased mental health issues arising in civil and criminal cases.”

Senator Hertz Rebuts Democrat Talking Points on OBBB
State Senator Greg Hertz Tuesday, July 15th, 2025 on KJJR
The “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB) passed by Congress and signed by President Trump is a game changer that will benefit middle-income, working-class Montanans. Yet Montana Senate Minority Leader Pat Flowers (Montana’s top Democrat) said “I just think it is a betrayal of working Montanans and Americans,” mirroring national Democrats’ political talking points. One must wonder if elected Democrats even read or understand the bill. Read more HERE or click the image above.
