Rehberg Report
Montana’s Congressman Denny Rehberg is the only member of Montana’s Congressional Delegation with a consistent record of actually listening to constituents. Now, he’s scheduled his most recent listening sessions in Cascade, Hill, Blaine, and Valley Counties. “Government transparency is only useful if it’s coupled with accountability,” said Rehberg
Meanwhile, Denny voted to end the useless waste of taxpayer dollars that comes from stimulus road signs. Any project that gets federal stimulus dollars to “create jobs” is required to immediately waste those dollars by putting up signs advertising the stimulus. Denny cosponsored the bill to end that practice.
Don Fredrikson, former Helena GOP Volunteer of the Year, Passes Away
Don Fredrikson passed away this week. Many Republicans knew him from his long history of activism in the Lewis and Clark Republican Central Committee, which recognized him as the volunteer of the year at their 2008 Lincoln Reagan Day Dinner. Our prayers and thoughts are with all those who were close to him.
The Poll Everyone’s Been Waiting For!
The mtgop.org web site has a poll for you to express your opinion about who ought to be our Presidential nominee for 2012. Is it way too early? Yes. But we all care about our nation’s leadership, or we wouldn’t be involved in the MTGOP. So let’s have some fun and vote on who we want to see in the White House after Barack Obama leaves in January, 2013.
