State elections were sometimes decided by negative advertising and a small margin of votes. Elections didn’t focus on the issues; they focused on ideology and in some cases, outright slander.

We need to take our state back. We need to live into the present and prepare for the future. We need to find a way to work together. We need to all be involved and informed. We need to get back to the True Montana.

Our first step is to outline a set of principles for which we can all agree, and put them out there for voters and legislators alike. It’s from there we can enter into a dialog where we can bring about real change.

So take a second. Read our ideas. If you agree, sign on. If you really agree, get involved and do more.

Even if you don’t, get informed. Do more. Don’t let your state and your community be taken from you.
