Tester Town Hall Tomorrow
If you live anywhere near Helena, Senator Jon Tester will be holding a town hall meeting tomorrow! If you have questions, this is the time to make sure your voice is heard!
It’s on Tuesday, August 31st, from 11:30am-12:30pm in the upstairs conference room at the Helena airport.
This is our chance to ask about Obamacare, the failed stimulus, or anything else that’s on your mind.
Rehberg Report
Montana’s Congressman Denny Rehberg is still working hard and making a difference in Washington. Most recently he took the Health and Human Services Secretary to task over Obamacare’s targetting of Montana small businesses for tax increases, more regulation, and higher expenses.
“Unfortunately, the unpopularity of Obamacare is only a symptom of the serious deficiencies in the bill itself,” said Rehberg. “Far from fixing the problems we face, this job-killing bill makes things worse.”
National Politics
On a national level, the cause of conservative ideals is advancing fast. Republicans stand a good chance of gaining majorities in one or both Houses of Congress. Here’s a web site that keeps track of that effort in the House of Representatives: www.40seats.com
New Poll
The results of our last web poll are in. More than 2/3rds of MTGOP.org users have been to a TEA party rally. Now, we’re looking for your feedback again. We’d like to do another fun, grassroots barbeque like we did here in Helena honoring Governor Babcock. Which town do you think it ought to be in? We’ve narrowed it down to three choices; your vote will be the deciding factor in picking the next destination. Vote here.
