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.

Links to contact information have been posted under “Take Action”, or, as Linda Sauer says, you can ask MTCAG for them by email: citizens@mtcag.org . Always remember to be polite in your communications.

Note that most committee members also have accounts on X:

@RepJeffHurd; @RepAmata; @RepMcDowell; #RepTimWahlberg (no account found); @Jim_Jordan; @RepLaMalfa; @RepMikeKennedy; @lisamurkowski; @SenJohnHoeven; @SenatorCantwell; @SenMullin; @SenTinaSmith; @JerryMoran; @SenBrianSchatz; @SteveDaines; @SenCortezMasto; @SenatorRounds; @SenatorLujan

We were informed that US Representative Ryan Zinke HAS withdrawn his support for HB 3773, but while thanking him, it doesn’t hurt to ask him to put pressure on others to do the same!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!

Volunteers Help Improve Local Governance

On April 25, Larry Ashcraft presented results of the audit a group of volunteering citizens is performing on Polson City.

Larry Ashcraft spoke to a full room at the Pachyderm Club meeting yesterday. It is already obvious that those who are most affected by decisions made by the City Council, for example, can bring about change just by being vigilant, asking questions, and keeping an eye on what is being done and how it is being done. Be sure to thank Larry and his four fellow committee members for volunteering their time for all Polson residents! Without the volunteers, the City Council would have had to appoint their own auditors to audit them… This audit was voted for by the residents.

This summer there will be two public meetings for residents to participate in. The audit commission is inviting residents to contact them with concerns. Minutes of the presentation at the Pachyderm meeting will be available soon on this website under “Who We Are/Pachyderms”.

‘America’s Worst Court’

Great reminder from a Lake County resident about why Montana citizens need to continue to fight judicial tyranny.

In an article from August 28, 2024, Mark Pulliam with The Federalist wrote:

“One elected official, Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, has been suffering for bravely confronting the state court’s wrath and incompetence. Knudsen, a Republican, has become the victim of lawfare for simply doing his job — defending state laws in court.” Read the full article: How ‘America’s Worst Court’ Blocks Judicial Reform

Mineral deal to be signed after all! But with who…?

Steve Daines talks to Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business about President Trump’s upcoming address Tuesday, March 4.

As to all the talk of mineral deals left and right, according to President Trump in his State of the Union Address, Ukraine’s Zelensky has changed his mind again and appears willing to sign a deal with the US.

Democrats interfering with getting the mineral deal proposed by Trump signed?

Did the Democrats nudge Ukraine’s Zelensky to reject mineral deal with U.S? Here’s what a report is saying

Will the Mutant Elephants hijack another legislative session?

“If you happen to be at the state capitol during the coming session, you are likely to encounter Mutant Elephants in the hallways, restrooms and chambers. Although their footprint on the legislative process is immense, their presence goes mostly unnoticed by the voting public. They appear mild-mannered but are actually quite dangerous.”

Roger Koopman is speaking of the Montana legislature, but Mutant Elephants are a species to be found in Congress also…

Will Illegals be Stopped from Voting?

(Sadly, the answer seems to be largely “no”, judging by the counting still going on today, November 17, and turnouts exceeding numbers of registered voters)

Speaker Mike Johnson is promoting the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to revise the National Voter Registration Act. The bill proposes amendments requiring proof of citizenship for individuals who register to vote at departments of motor vehicles (DMVs) and other state agencies. It also mandates the removal of foreign nationals from state voting registers.

“There is currently an unprecedented and a clear and present danger to the integrity of our election system, and that is the threat of noncitizens and illegal aliens voting in our elections,” Johnson argues. (National Pulse, May 9)
