Damn this gets old. Keep um coming Ben.
MT Legislature - Week 7
- Thread starter Ben Lamb
- Start date
Just back from a day on the road. Can't believe this crap is happening. Let us know when these votes are coming up, Ben. They seem to be pulling them out of the air, so it is almost impossible to know the schedule and when you need to weigh in on them.
Thanks for all your work.

I hope and pray the Governor uses his pen a bunch. Ben Make sure he has lots of them in case he loses one.
SS, this is hunttalk, I think you meant "looses".
Ben, thanks for what you do and sharing what is happening.
Tomorrow looks like a lot of third readings. Not much to do other than focus on the next 6 weeks.
Committee hearings pick back up on Wednesday. Thursday, March 3rd, at 2 pm, there will be a rally for access at the old supreme court chambers. The Anti-Access bill, HB 309, is in Senate Ag that day at 3 pm. We need everyone who can to come and stand up, speak out, and get the point across that we hunt, we fish and we vote.

We need to make sure a session like this never happens again.
Roger that.
We can no longer let those who sponsor and vote for this crap to go uncontested in the primaries and for sure need to remind voters prior to the general election. Anyone who thinks these votes for local legislators don't matter, need to read what has transpired.
There are some reasonable people out there, from both sides. But, the party system often results in the extremists getting the nod in the primary. Some districts are won in the primary, as it district is overly R or D.
We need better folks getting through the primaries, so the choices in the general election actually represent progress.

My legislator was put on notice. Every sportsman in the east flathead valley is going to know how he voted today. And I guarantee that message is going to carry around the rest of the valley.

We will be scheduling meetings with our legislatures right after the session is over for some face to face. I have been keeping track of bills and votes and have questions that need answered while wounds are still fresh.

This is the seventh session I've worked on. Five in Wyoming and two in Montana. I have never seen a more anti-access, anti-hunter/angler or anti-environment groups of people in power.
We get the government that we deserve, some say. Others say, we got the government that was purchased.

I think we need to start a new political affiliation group. How about we call ourselves, Sportsman. Run our own people and put them up against these morons.
