Isn't it just amazing. <acronym title="<a href="http://governor.mt.gov/governor/govbio.asp">Gov. Brian Schweitzer</a>">The Second Coming</acronym> and the Montana Senate, action in House is still pending, both want to require us as consumers to buy power from <a href="http://data.opi.state.mt.us/bills/2005/billhtml/SB0415.htm" target="_new">renewable sources</a>. Amazingly enough, without any such law in place by the Government to control us further NorthWestern Energy is seeking…

I reluctantly support Country Of Origin Labeling on a national scale even though I know it will cost me more than I will gain from it. For <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/03/10/build/state/60-origin-labels.inc" target="_new">Montana alone</a> to do it is the height of stupidity. The big food companies could care less whether Montana has a law saying the food needs…

Gotta <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/02/22/build/state/66-attorney-bill.inc" target="_new">protect them lawyers</a> from untrained competition. It takes a government mandate to protect them from unskilled, untrained competitors? I'm sure they really don't have anything to worry about from them. Anyone who would want to use a non-lawyer for legal advice deserves what they get. <br />n<br />n<b>A good deal of tyranny…

About every Legislative session here in Montana we hear the call for an <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/02/19/build/state/43-earlyprimary.inc" target="_new">earlier Presidential Primary</a> to garner attention from Presidential candidates instead of being a fly-over state. I'm just curious , why would we want to do this? They don't listen to us anyway.<br />n<br />nTake for example our current Commander in…

Now I am no lawyer, thank the Lord, but it sure seems like the Montana Legislature is <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?tl=1&display=rednews/2005/02/16/build/state/24-discriminationbill.inc" target="_new">passing a law</a> that is not Constitutional.<br />n<br />nThe bill, SB 199, would ban the discrimination of people based on their sexual orientation when it comes to employment, public accommodations, housing, financial transactions, education, job referrals,…

I guess Montana's don't need jobs or the goods provided by the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/02/16/build/state/68-living-wage.inc" target="_new">"big box stores."</a> Tax them out of existence is the answer it appears. This will help us by keeping us poor, tired and hungry. We can all just go back to living in caves and eating only what we can catch…

As usual I am missing something here. Maybe somebody can inform me of the connection that I just can't see.<br />n<br />n<blockquote> Desperate in searching for treatment, Ron Clem sold his home in Kalispell to get his middle daughter, Carren, off methamphetamine several years ago. <br />n<br />nThe retired police officer and his family ended…

I can't figure out if Governor <acronym title="Brian Schweitzer">BS</acronym> has eye sight like an eagle or blind as a bat. While flying to meet with other Governors about the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/02/07/build/state/23-missouririver.inc" target="_new">Missouri River</a> he states:<br />n<br />n<blockquote>Montana <a href="http://governor.mt.gov/governor/govbio.asp">Gov. Brian Schweitzer</a> said the lack of mountain snowpack was obvious as he flew to the meeting.</blockquote><br…

All you have to do is search my blog and you will find out how much I hate this <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/02/03/build/state/60-ethanol.inc" target="_new">ethanol bill</a>. I will not beat a dead horse again at this time. <br />n<br />n<blockquote>Members of the agricultural community support the bill.</blockquote><br />n<br />nI will point out how wrong this statement is.
