Turnout and Same-DayVoting
Pat Williams: Turnout and Same-Day Voting
America's men and women are dying everyday in Iraq to assure the right of the Iraqis to cast their ballots, and yet here at home some high, elected officials are trying to prevent our own citizens, right here in Montana, from having same-day voting--the identical process that we all cheered in Iraq.

Tester responds to the State of the Union Address
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) -- Sen. Jon Tester tonight released the following statement in response to President Bush's State of the Union Address:
"Tonight President Bush spoke about the importance of renewable energy as an alternative to oil. For six years, we've heard the President talk about renewable energy with no measurable commitment. Tonight I hope that we heard more than just talk.
With our state 's abundant supply of wind and capacity to produce ethanol and bio-fuels, Montana stands ready to be a key player in expanding America's energy sources and making our country energy independent. I look forward to working with the President and my Senate colleagues to make Montana a pioneer in the frontier of alternative energy. That is critically important to making the world a better place for our children and it is vital to our country's national security. And for Montanans, harnessing our state's energy means good-paying jobs and economic development, including in rural areas of our state.
Like many Montanans, I am deeply troubled by the President's insistence to escalate the war in Iraq, sending more young people into harm's way with no real plan for victory or safe return. Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have given more than has been asked of them. They deserve smart, thoughtful decisions from their Commander in Chief.
I will continue to hold this President accountable to make well-informed decisions that will get our troops out of Iraq quickly and safely. I urge President Bush to plot a course out of Iraq that does not rely solely on our men and women in uniform but also incorporates political and diplomatic pressures involving our allies in the region."

Thursday George: Free at Last!
By and large, Montana’s lobbyist core is rich in knowledge and pretty dang ethical. I was proud to serve in it, but now I’ve traded the power suits for the power of the pen—and this former lobbyist is "free at last."
