When the republicans took control of both houses during the last election and had feelings of dread wondering what bills could come out of this legislature. My worst fears have been met and even eclipsed. There are bills looming that cut off sportsman access for water recreation. The want to cut funding for planned parenthood and other social programs while trying to hit the tax payers for $1500 laptops. They even passed a bill out of committee to cut funding for school meals until they were reminded that saving that million dollars would lose 30 million in federal funds. The have pushed looney legislation like requiring weamon to have ultra sounds for certain medical proceedurs. They wasted valuble time and money adopting the "cowboy code". Now some wingnut legislator from cascade is persuming to tell me and rest of the 2/3 majority that voted for medical marijuana that we did not know what we were voting for it and that he and his republican majority do know better and are pushing for repeal of a ballot initative that had and still has wide support. I know what I voted for and would do so again. I would like Mr. Milburn, or what ever his name is to appologize to me for saying I did not know what I was doing when I voted. I would like the voters of Montana to remember what has been happening in the last few weeks in Helena and consider what the consequences will be when you pull the lever for one of these right wing nut cases during the next election.
