This election, more than any other, will tell the world what kind of people live in Montana.
Should Donald Trump win our state, history will forever see us as a people who looked the other way and voted for an unstable man who openly glamorized bigotry, sexual assault, paranoia, torture, and the degradation of women.
Should I-177 fail to pass, history will forever see us as a people who approved of torturing animals for fun and profit and sided with the desires of a small group of primitive-thinking trappers over the rights of thousands of dog owners who merely wished to walk their beloved companions on public lands without the fear of a brutal, unhappy ending.
Yes, Montana’s soul and sense of decency are on the ballot this year. Let’s show the world that Montanans truly are a state made up of forward-thinking and compassionate people!
