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.

A text version of the points Linda is making can also be found in the July edition of the Last Chance Patriot Newsletter. Link to the newsletter HERE.

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We were informed that US Representative Ryan Zinke HAS withdrawn his support for HB 3773, but while thanking him, it doesn’t hurt to ask him to put pressure on others to do the same!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

Good news: Representative Zinke has pulled his support for this Act. Grassroots action is working!

Watch YouTube video by Northwest Liberty News with Linda Sauer of Montana Citizens’ Action Group explaining threats of this very bad Act:

ACTION NEEDED! Daines and Zinke “Protect Act” Opens the Door to More Tyranny

Great news shared on July 25: Apparently, Ryan Zinke no longer supports the PROTECT Act! Thank you, Representative Zinke! And THANK YOU, Linda Sauer, for making the eye-opening video. However, there is more to do, as pointed out by Linda in the LCP August edition – posted above.

Everyone please keep sharing the above video to open more eyes!

Great Work by Montana Citizens Action Group! Join in!

The warriors who have been working hard for our water rights are expanding their reach! Now under the new name of Montana Citizens Action Group (MTCAG).

Here is an update from Julie Reffner – who together with her husband received the Chamber of Commerce volunteer’s award. Not suprising, Julie! Check out what Julie, Linda Sauer, and others involved in the group have accomplished for us now:

“HI Everyone,

          First of all, attached is a letter that we have sent out to President Trump/Elon Musk and over 80 other government officials/news personalities about the financial impact that reservations have on the US economy.  Please feel free to edit the letter as you feel is needed, and send it to the DOGE team and other government officials.  The more people who send similar letters, the more of an impact it will have with DOGE!  A list of addresses can be found here:  http://saveflatheadlake.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Government-officials-addresses.pdf
          We have a new email account that I will be using going forward.  The email address is: citizens@mtcag.org.  This account will be monitored by me so please send any communications to this account.  I will still respond to emails sent to my personal account but prefer that over time we transition to use the new account.  I am hoping that we will have some help responding to the emails as well so you may get a faster response. Please do not delete emails from this account thinking that they are spam or junk – they are not!  One more thing, I may still use my personal account periodically due to the fact that I get put in “email jail” for sending out so many emails in a day.  Having a couple of accounts that I can use enables me to stay on top of the emails to be sent out, or at least try to!
           We have also decided to expand the usage of our “Save Flathead Lake” website (http://saveflatheadlake.com/).  We do not want to delete the site or the domain in case we need to use it in the future, so we decided to expand the scope and usage of the site.  The site is being worked on, but as new content is added we will communicate to you via the new email address when there are updates.  If there is content that you feel should be added, please let us know.
           I am also happy to share two podcasts that Linda Sauer completed with Elaine Willman who is an author and has extensive knowledge in the US/tribal relations.  Please do not hesitate to share with everyone you know.  The more people who are aware of what is going on, the more people we will have in this fight!  The links are located on the website at:
           Feel free to let me know if any of you have questions or concerns and please look for emails coming from the new email account going forward.  Do not hesitate to contact government officials/DOGE and put some pressure on them to adjust the tribal funds being spent by our government!
Julie”
