America lost its way in politics.  
It’s time to heal our spirit.

Locally, representative government means looking out for people, for our community, and Montana.  Remember, a government of the people by the people and for the people.  It is time to bring back the politics of people.

The 2005 Legislative Session taught me many things about government.  First and foremost on that lesson list is remembering whom we work for.  We work for the good folks back in our community, not special interest.  Sometimes those goals are compatible, but not necessarily.

Political action group money has taken a toll on both campaigns and Montana policy.  This is why folks like me are advocating for not taking Political Action Committee (PAC) dollars to fund our campaigns.  It’s funny, I have sent back thousands of dollars of this special interest money and it just keeps coming, and then back it goes for there are too many expectations that come with these dollars.

I’m a farmer, not a career politician.  I got elected for the simple goal of service to community.  I advocate the path of action.  If we believe that Montana deserves a government as kind and decent as our people, then we have an obligation to be involved in the decisions regarding policy.  Basic human compassion is critical to politics.

We share so much in common but always tend to focus on the issues which divide us as a community.  During the last Session, we developed the most progressive energy independence portfolio in the nation.  But we have a long way to go.  Efficiency is critical to our energy portfolio.

Your voice sets the intention for Montana policy.  Please active your words and let us bring back the politics of people.  In 2005, we kindled a new spirit in Montana.  Government can be good and responsive to our needs.   

We need more graceful leaders that listen with an independent mind, but mostly we need an active base of progressive leaders, and people willing to work for Montana, our families and our community.  Have faith, plant the seeds for the next crop, and walk the steps to work together to till common ground.
