Take Action

Be Fearless

“A seed fell, and out of one, many rise. We are all Charlie Kirks now.”

An observant Christian in our community, Tammi Baer, noticed that the time of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, 12:23 pm, is also the number of the following scripture. Amazing:

A feeling expressed by Tammi and shared by many: “We are one. The body of Christ. No longer divided into denominations, groups, clubs, wishful thinking.  We are becoming united. The community of Christ is more than just following rules and do’s and don’ts. It’s about coming together when one of our family is attacked. We must come out of our divisions or we will all lose. Religion was the problem in Jesus’ day and it’s the problem now.” 

Religion has certainly been used to pitch us against each other. Many now see a true Turning Point for the country in what has happened. Erika Kirk’s speech has been posted and reposted over and over. A battle-cry to heed!

Help the President Get Term Limits Passed

Note:

The LCRCC Chair has aptly pointed out that though term limits for those who are our elected officials are a good idea, it is to be remembered that a lot of what they stand for and do is determined by officials not appointed or elected. They can stay on forever and feed agendas to incoming members of Congress… how about term limits for them?

The OPM (U.S. Office of Personnel Management) says:

“Members of the SES [Senior Executive Service] serve in the key positions just below the top Presidential appointees. SES members are the major link between these appointees and the rest of the Federal workforce. They operate and oversee nearly every government activity in approximately 75 Federal agencies.”

Americans for Term Limits (www.AmericansForTermLimits.org) have put out a card with the following content to help those who want to take action in the matter:

Why Congressional Term Limits Bills S.J.Res. 1 / H.J.Res. 12 Must Be Passed Quickly

  • An overwhelming 87% of voters approve of a constitutional amendment to limit terms of Congress to break the cycle of political cronyism and corruption in exchange for campaign money and “in kind” support that’s created politicians for life and many multi-millionaires.
  • President Trump supports Term Limits, but many of his political adversaries on both sides of the political aisle will fight “tooth and nail” to protect their jobs as career politicians.
  • With this being President Trump’s final term and the possibility of the Democrats regaining majority control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections, this may be our last best chance to get Term Limits passed into law. We may never have this opportunity again.

It will take millions of voters to keep unrelenting pressure on our elected officials to pass this critical legislation now right up to the midterm elections – not that far away. Please – I hope you’ll do your part and make the most generous donation you can to help us fund this massive national “grassroots” effort.

Here’s Another Way YOU Can Help President Trump Get Congressional Term Limits Passed

  • Contact your U.S. Senators urging them to co-sponsor bill S.J.Res. #1:
    United States Senate • Washington, D.C. 20510 • 202-224-3121
  • Contact your U.S. Representative urging him or her to co-sponsor bill H.J.Res. #12:
    United States House of Representatives • Washington, D.C. 20515 • 202-224-3121
  • Tell your family, friends, neighbors and others at gatherings you may attend that Congressional Term Limits legislation is now pending in the U.S. Congress for a vote.

The more voters that Members of Congress hear from who favor term limits the more pressure it will create and help get these bills passed!

Feel Free to Make Copies of This Card and Distribute It Far and Wide!

Thank you!

Each of us has a responsibility

General Flynn continues…:

This is an existential moment for America. New York City, our Nation’s bellwether, is a warning sign. Our borders, our sovereignty, and our freedoms are all under attack. But we are not powerless. We must come together, take decisive action, and safeguard the future of our beloved nation.

The future of America will not be decided by the deep state, the globalists, or foreign powers; it will be decided by We the People.

Urge Support for President’s Nominees

Heritage Action gives ideas on what to do and what to say:

Action | Heritage Action For America

Call Your Members

Make the call during normal business hours (9am – 5pm EST) and provide your name and address if asked.

Deliver This Message

My name is [NAME] and I am a constituent from [CITY, STATE].

I am calling to encourage [MEMBER OF CONGRESS] to support President Trump’s executive branch and judicial nominees.

While President Trump’s cabinet is in place, he needs more of his nominees confirmed by the Senate to effectively deliver on his agenda. Now is the time to step on the gas and confirm his team.

He also has an opportunity to appoint judges who will uphold the Constitution as it is written rather than legislating personal policy preferences from the bench.

The backlog of nominations is growing, and it’s critical that the Senate increase its speed in confirming appointments.

I urge you to support President Trump’s appointees and approve them as fast as possible so that they can get to work on behalf of the American people.

Thank you.

Rep Zinke Withdrew Support, But There Is More to Do!

Linda Sauer writes in the August edition of the Last Chance Patriot newsletter:

I am happy to report that Ryan Zinke has reconsidered his sponsorship of the PROTECT Act and has withdrawn his support. However, that is not enough. It may be too little, too late. Because the bill has already been passed to two Committees in the House, Zinke’s withdrawal of support is a moot point unless he works hard to convince the members of the committees that he made a mistake in sponsoring the bill, and they should not pass it through the Committee.

After he does that, if the bill is still passed by the Committees and sent back to the House for a vote, he needs to stand up before the members of the House and tell them why they should not pass the bill. I encourage you to write or call Congressman Zinke’s office to encourage him to work tirelessly to undo the potential damage of the PROTECT Act that he sponsored before thoroughly understanding its implications. If he can kill it in the House, it cannot be passed to the President for his signature, even if it passes on a Senate vote.

Congressman Zinke’s contact info:

Kalispell Office: 923 So. Main, Kalispell, MT 59901

(406) 317-0277

Washington Office: 512 Cannon House Office Bldg, Washington, DC 20515

(202)225-5628

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to put some pressure on Troy Downing to be sure that he will also vote NO if it gets back to the House. To my knowledge, Congressman Downing has not been public with his opinion on the bill.

Congressman Downing’s contact info:

Billings office: 401 N. 31st St., Suite 770, Billings, MT 59101

(406) 413-6720

Washington office: 1529 Longworth House Bldg., Washington DC 20515

(202) 225-3211

Pressure also needs to be applied to Austin Knudsen. He stated that his “staff” identified him as supporting the PROTECT Act. He needs to be told that if he maintains a supportive position on this bill, his chances of ever being Governor of Montana will be severely compromised.

Attorney General Knudsen’s contact info:

P.O. Box 201401, Helena, MT 59620-1401

Heritage Action Will Help with Your Input

The Heritage Foundation can help us with conservative policies

The Montana State Director for Heritage Action, Kristen Christenson, came to speak to the Pachyderm audience on July 11 and surprised us with how much the organization does for We the People in helping educate the public. The topics covered were wast: One Citizen, One Vote; the Big Beautiful Bill; the rescissions package; scoring of the performance of our representatives; etc.

People within the Heritage organization are really thinking through bills put forward, the votes on the bills, in order to assess the views of our lawmakers. They help lawmakers with those bills, as well.  What is more, they can also help YOU, when you want to step up and testify about issues that are important to you. Kristen encourages us to contact her if we want help. Do not forget that our representatives need us to support them when they are arguing for new legislation. Our opponents seem to have “testifiers on demand” always ready to go when called upon. We should get prepared for the coming sessions to counter them! Our voices matter!

Contact information for Kristen will be included in the minutes for the above meeting. You can also find out more by going to, e.g., the Heritage Action pages on the internet: Home | Heritage Action For America

Suggestions on what we can do:

We are hoping that Kristen will accept our invitation to come back soon. Stay tuned!
