Support for MacLaren

May 30, 2012 by Editor

When you go to the polls next week, you really need to consider who you want to represent you, your county, and the state. Do you wish to have a sensible, honorable man, who proudly served his country for three years in the Vietnam conflict, or one who attacks federal employees when he doesn’t get his way?
Fred Thomas was cited when the party he was with was confronted by a Forest Ranger in 2008. Attached is the link verifying my statement, in case there are any doubting Thomases reading this. Evidently, Mr. Thomas was of the belief that he may do what he wants, when he wants. Unfortunately for him that wasn’t the case. The Bitterroot Star reported this one time and then very little else was ever heard about this “incident.”
I would urge people to cast their vote for Rep. Gary MacLaren, a man who will look after the needs of all Montanans, not just wealthy contributors who will benefit from Thomas’ lack of understanding of bills he authors. Anyone remember deregulation?
