Who elected the candidate to represent Montana for the next 18 months?
The Montana GOP obliged MT Counties to in total spend maybe three quarters of a million dollars for Judged Polling Places where Republicans have more “propensity” to vote than do Democrats.
Out of State Republican money sponsored TV and mail propaganda fear mongering the big lie that Rob Quist wanted to register guns.
The conscious deliberate Lee Inc. campaign of three Montana newspapers to take votes away from Quist.
Followed by newspaper endorsements of Gianforte.
Overnight TV Stations, Newspapers, and blogs whitewashed the Assault on Ben Jacobs. The Guardian Reporter with a recorder in one hand. A notebook in the other hand.
We did not elect Gianforte.
Big money elected Gianforte.
Maybe up to $18 million total expended for the 2017 Montana Special Election!
How comfortable are you with big outside money causing tens of thousands of people in Montana, to sense that their speech, and their vote do not count? So they avoid partcipating in democracy!
Avoided voting to represent Montana in Paul Ryan’s House, where now sit 21-40 Republicans representing Districts gerrymandered away from Democrats.
How comfortable are you with a health care Wealth Care plan that would grab people by the throat?
Throat slam people to the floor?
Then make fist shots to the head?
How would you improve next year’s election of a person to represent Montana in the House of Representatives for two years?
