Dear Editor,

2021 will bring hope, healing and prosperity to Montana

Fellow Montanans, I’d like to extend my warmest Christmas and holiday wishes to you and your loved ones.

The holiday season is an annual reminder of the importance of two key institutions that bind our state together and define our Montana way of life; the freedom to worship as we choose and the importance of family. These values are at the core of the Montana Republican Party and have always been the guiding forces in allowing us to overcome even the most daunting challenges.

Focusing on our workforce

After good discussion for several weeks and accepting my letter of resignation, the Workforce Board of Directors has decided to discontinue the Workforce Development Coordinator position for the time being. The board and I agreed it is a difficult time to see positive gains in this program, during a pandemic. However, the board and I also agreed this position is needed when the business climate is better.

What I have come to expect from the Left

Dear Editor,

Have you ever noticed the people who insult the most rarely challenge the information they are railing against? That is what I have come to expect from the Left. In this case, and in the past, not one of my allegations was challenged by Tom Wojtowick. He does do his best at insults, though.

But that is what I have come to expect from the Left. I recall during the ACA debate (more commonly known as Obama Care) the Left would say, “What would Jesus do,” then apparently they booed Him at their convention in 2012.

Not one expected me

As far as the virus is concerned, yes, many have died with complications after being infected, but you know, not once did I see or hear how many deaths came by way of normal influenza causes.

Fear is urged on by our great journalistic institutions and the Socialist Party. They tried to convince us we were all going to die of the virus so we had to close down and restrain church attendance, while the abortion industry seemed to keep going strong. Thousands of small businesses closed.

Fox knows mail-in ballots are valid

Dear Editor,

I cannot comprehend how the Attorney General of Montana, Tim Fox, added the State of Montana to that bogus lawsuit filed by his Texan counterpart to invalidate the electoral votes of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia. Mail-in ballots are valid. He knows that.

The biggest fraud of all dwells in the White House. And now Tim Fox is amongst that ilk. It’s embarrassing that he put Montana on that list.

I am ashamed of him.

What is integrity? What is normal anymore?

I thought our Attorney General was bigger than that.
