Keeping in touch

One of the bills you’ve seen discussed on television news lately is a bill I am carrying on behalf of the Secretary of State’s office, a bill which has long been an important bill to the Election Administrators of Montana, House Bill 130.  HB 130 is an “Act revising procedures for conducting mail ballot elections; requiring elections other than school elections to be held by mail; provides for training of Election Administrators and Election Judges; revises procedures by which Election Administrators confirm Electors residence and mailing addresses; revises procedures for reactivating an Electors registration; revises certain absentee ballot provisions; requires counties to pay for ballots returned with insufficient postage; revises procedures for creating and approving a written election plan; provides for notice to inactive electors; provides  requirements for voting booths; provides requirements for places of deposit and official drop boxes for ballot returns: revises procedures for handling and counting returned ballots; and, repeals the requirement that Election Administrators provide for proportional voting in certain elections (13-19-302 MCA regarding votes to be cast in proportion to ownership or other factor other than one vote per person).

Blow smoke somewhere else

All I have been hearing these days is how bad the economy is and how the political runners are going to change it. Yet I get these big cards in the mail (all the time) wanting me to vote for this person and that person. How many of us really read these giant postcards! I wonder how many thousands of dollars goes into taking the pictures that appear on them,printing them and mass mailing them. How many kids could have been sent to college with that money? Most of us already know who we are going to vote for. I hear Oprah spouting off about how terrible it is to be paying for the war we are in. Yet she and others totally endorsed Obama, Clinton or McCain,with no problem on the MILLIONS they each spent on the campaigns! It was reported that in January and February of this year Obama and Clinton raise $52 million dollars for their campains not a cent was spent on anything but giant postcards — TV ad after TV ad telling us nothing new — and air flight to there and here — and a fancy scarf or two or a tie that had the right look for the right state. If anything we should be shouting to those that are running for office — “why don’t you make a change while you are in the running?” I know, how about this: the one to get his or her platform accross the cheapest wins a chance to spend the money that they saved on someone who needs it. Believe me there is nothing that feels better then to know you have just blessed someone.
