Alert from Heritage Action

Urge your representative to cosponsor the Chloe Cole Act of 2026 (H.R. 7651)

Background

“Radical activists and the medical industry are targeting vulnerable children, convincing them and their families that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex-rejecting procedures are necessary for kids struggling with gender dysphoria. These experimental procedures permanently damage children’s bodies, remove their ability to have children, and carry long-term physical and mental health consequences. Brave detransitioners, like Chloe Cole, have exposed the harsh reality of so-called “gender-affirming care.”

Encourage U.S. Senators to Pass the SAVE America Act

The U.S. House of Representatives finally passed the SAVE Act – it is now up to the Senate to do the same.

U.S. Senate Contact Information

_______________________________

Read the text of the SAVE Act (H.R. 22) HERE. The SAVE America Act is an expanded version that would require picture ID upon voting in a federal election (H.R. 7296).

The SAVE Act is to “amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require proof of United States citizenship to register an individual to vote in elections for Federal office, and for other purposes”. Without using his powers to protect critical infrastructure, the President can only affect FEDERAL elections, not state elections. As called for in the above poster, drastic measures are needed in addition to the SAVE Act. Plenty of loopholes to plug to truly secure honesty in election systems.

The SAVE Act is a great bill to help honesty in elections in the future, but it will not automatically clean already compromised voter rolls. That means the rolls are what they are for the midterms, unless they are properly purged no later than 3 months before the elections.

Preventing more illegals from being added to voter rolls is a must, of course!

Federal law defines ‘critical infrastructure’ at 42 U.S.C., paragraph 5195c (e), and DHS designated election infrastructure as a critical infrastructure subsector on January 6, 2017. (Designation HERE)

Promethean Action

A new movement has been started recently in support of the current administration’s policies, Promethean Action. Analyses of policies, as well as support offered for grassroots action. Weeks ago, the group reportedly had 70,000 followers, mostly in America, but also from other parts of the world.

100s of thousands have now subscribed, finding common sense voices in the middle of an intentionally created chaos.

Or the website HERE.

Midweek update from February 18: “A fight you need to be part of.” Hear Barbara Boyd lay out what we are facing ahead of midterms, and what the Trump administration is very well aware of and pushing back on.

 

In the Thursday Q and A sessions, many listeners have chimed in by sending in questions ahead of time by email or asking them during the show in chat. Last Thursday’s subject: Trump vs. the Fed; The Final Battle for America’s Economy.

The leaders of this movement, Susan Kokinda and Barbara Boyd, give knowledgeable assessments on what is going on in politics. A very interesting recap of the President’s speech in Davos, for one. If you are among those wondering why the President does what he does, these videos may give you a new understanding. As of January 22, they had gathered 400,000 subscribers – up from 70,000 just days earlier.

MTCAG: Water and Power Alert – What You Can Do!

Alert from Montana Citizens Action Group – Affecting Flathead and Lake counties and other areas of Montana

Think we had a lake water level problem before? Think your power bills are high now? Quietly slipping through the bureaucratic hands in an effort to stay out of the public eye are large data centers for POLSON, Missoula, Great Falls, Bozeman, Helena, and Billings. A contract for INITIAL 50 megawatts of power from the Kerr Dam, and an undisclosed quantity of water, have been slated for the data center in Polson. The Governor, in collaboration with out of state business entities, the CSKT, and Daines among other legislators, have promoted and signed off non-publicized deals on data centers in Montana, including one for the Polson area getting water and power from the Kerr Dam and Flathead river and lake. In June of 2025, it was publicized that Northwestern Energy was in negotiations for multiple data centers, with little disclosed on exactly who, where, and how much water and energy would be used and what impact it would have, but the initial contracts are for 1400 megawatts in 2026 to three data center companies (that’s the equivalent to 800k-1million homes). It has been near impossible to get information, but Quantum Investors and Bitzero have both made claims of opening data centers in Montana in 2026, including, “rural areas.” The purpose of the data centers are for both AI and/or bitcoin mining. The national data center map shows currently three buildings in Billings, one in Bozeman, one in Butte, and TWENTY data center buildings in Great Falls. This map only shows facilities that have been publicized and on record for at least six months, which means it does not show proposed centers nor centers in progress or not publicized. However, Northwestern Energy has already told the Montana Public Service Commission that they expect to provide utilities to these data centers starting in JANUARY 2026. A call to Kerr Dam had a representative inform me directly they are expecting to provide services sometime in spring of 2026.

SO WHO CARES?

If you have not been following the impacts of this, a recent study found that data centers in the US consumed more water than all the water bottling facilities (that was only what was found). There has been no identification of how much water would be needed for these Montana facilities, but if we are already having historic low lake levels because of drought, what will happen when we have a drought year and then have to meet the massive water demands of these centers? There has been zero information provided to the affected public on this.

Additionally, the costs of building and maintaining the electric grid to power the centers is generally being pawned off to the rest of the customer base. Some residents around the country saw 500% increase in their power bills. Why? Because if it took $5 million to upgrade the power grid infrastructure, the data center wasn’t held solely responsible and the cost was split equally among all the customers, with the data center representing only one customer! Northwestern Energy has already been confirming deals with these data centers, with no word whatsoever on how they would split any bill. This means that without public pressure, YOUR BILL would carry the tag of whatever cost it took to provide power to a single private business.

WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS?

Montana law requires that Northwestern Energy show that there is no long term impact to customers from new large load contracts. In September 2025, Northwestern Energy stated they would not adhere to this as well as not offer opportunity for public comment or input. Gianforte and Daines, among the other parties leading this effort, are staying out of it and letting it all slide, as they are the ones who invited the data centers in the first place. At the end of November, a group of non-profits filed a petition with the Montana Public Service Commission asking to create a separate business classification for data centers, ensuring any costs associated with them are billed only to them. In response, Northwestern Energy filed a legal motion to acquire a protective order in disclosing any information in these contracts. There can be no other reason other than fear that the details will show that Northwestern Energy could break laws and/or confirm significant impacts to utility customers as well as water impacts.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

1)      Swarm Gianforte and Daines about the subject. If they aren’t going to act in their constituents favor, let them know no more votes for them!

2)      Contact the Montana Public Service Commission and have them hold Northwestern Energy accountable to law. Each region has an ELECTED Commissioner. Contact them and tell them to advocate on your behalf, or no more votes for them!

3)      Contact the Attorney General’s office and have them look into any and all breaches of Montana law around anyone involved with data centers.

4)      Contact Zinke’s office (DC 202-225-5628, Kalispell 406-317-0027) and Sheehy’s office (DC 202-224-2264, Kalispell 406-257-3398). Call BOTH offices of each representative as the person answering the phone may not forward your complaint depending on who it is on what day at what location.

INFORMATION VERIFICATION

I do not know everything about this matter, nor do I have all the answers. The information in my write up is my personal summary that comes from about a dozen sources I found through numerous types of searches. I also called the Kerr Dam directly upon which they verified some of this info as well. I reached out to some contacts with different agencies who were also able to point me to some of this info. Overall, the information has been difficult to find and I’ve been given the runaround by representatives and Northwestern Energy. If you are looking to have me verify every bit of information for you, I won’t. I have put my time into this subject and given my summary of the information I have been able to find. I am not here to spend my time doing all of the work for you outside of informing you of my findings. I will give some links that can start you on the track, but if you’ve followed my posts before, I believe each person needs to follow their own research for their own conclusions if they question the author of a summary. Again, the limited links I am providing is only a fraction of what I found and does not represent the entirety of my sources.
