This Diary by Montana Maven is a good information source.
The horse trading continues on the Korea Free Trade Agreement but this time it might hinge on cows. Way out here on the Front Range far from Seattle and the prying eyes of ...well...just about everyone except coyotes, deer and some tree huggers, lo and behold, Montanans are hosting the fifth round of trade talks between South Korea and the United States in Big Sky, Montana. A group of protesters have arrived all the way from Korea and will be joined by local activists. What’s interesting to me, a cattle rancher, is that this could be a perfect opportunity for cattle ranchers, environmentalists, and anti-trade activists to form a new and powerful coalition.
TODAY, 2 PM, Rally and march, meet at the City Hall, Rouse and Main Streets,
Bozeman
TONIGHT,. 5:30 PM at the COURTHOUSE, Third and Main Streets, Candlelight
Vigil with a program
It isn't "Free" trade and it isn't "Fair" trade, and it is up to us to make
our voices heard. Attached is a fact sheet to help you understand why our
support is vital.

Victory Party 2006
Celebrate with Democratic candidates and their supporters as the results come in!
Be a party to history: enjoy music, a big-screen tv, and short in-person "hellos" from the candidates.
8 p.m. 'till ?????
Gallatin County Democrat Headquarters: Labor Temple, 422 East Mendenhall
PLEASE bring something to share with the group (appetizers, desserts, juice,
wine, beer, etc.). Ice and paper goods will be supplied. If you need a
serving plate returned to you after the party please make sure you mark it
with your name (masking tape works well).
Party coordinator Crystal Stanionis is in need of:
-monetary donations to cover the big-screen tv rental (approximately $60)
-monetary donations for food, drink (both alcoholic and nonalcoholic), ice,
and decorations.
These donations will supplement what the Gallatin
Democrats can provide and what party-goers will bring.
Volunteer help needed
-people to help decorate Tuesday afternoon/early evening
-people who will commit to cleaning-up the morning of the 8th
-three people who will each donate a food cooler for the storage of ice
-three people who will each donate a large trash can for the evening
-one person who will allow the Gallatin Democrats to borrow their rabbit-ear
compatible TV for the evening. If you have rabbit ears, great. If not,
we'd still love to borrow your tv and plug in someone else's rabbit ears.
Can you help?
Please call Crystal at 406-539-5063 with donations, ideas,
etc.
