Those who know me know I love politics and am a self professed right-wing-wacko. Therefore this blog may get political from time to time. I apologize to my liberal family members, but hopefully we can learn you something;). Today we received our absentee ballots and I realized the elections are right around the corner. This spurred me to do what I can to help our fledgling Senator. Sadly Montana quite possibly will end up with two Democratic Senators. What is this world coming to? But I don’t intend on letting that happen without a fight. Below is a Letter to the Editor I am working on:
I want to talk to the average middle-of-the-road hardworking Montanans who are considering voting for John Tester. For all we know Tester is the greatest guy in the world, but honestly that doesn’t matter. This election is bigger than John Tester or Conrad Burns. It is about who controls the most powerful legislative body in our government. If Tester wins, there is a good chance that Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and Chuck Schumer would gain control of the Senate. What would this mean for Montana? Retreat and defeat in the war on terror, which would dishonor our troops and likely allow terrorists to overrun the only two Middle Eastern democracies. It would become harder to intercept terrorist communications and finances, which has prevented the Brooklyn Bridge and London airline bombings. Bringing Al Qaeda terrorist into our justice system and give them constitutional right. Huge tax increases and allowing the Bush tax cuts to sunset to Clinton levels in 2010. Bowing to radical environmentalist by locking up our vast natural resource and halting energy exploration (you think gas prices are bad now). No more constitutionalist Supreme Court justices like Sam Alito and John Roberts. Canceling the border fence which congress recently passed. The list goes on, but it is fair to say any good Tester might do for Montana would be far outweighed by the policies of his radical left-wing party. I will proudly vote for Conrad Burns and not just because I fear liberal policies. At a recent charity event I was surprised to sitting next to Senator Burns. He didn’t wear a fancy suit, he didn’t drive an expensive car, and he proudly talked more about his new granddaughter than politics. Don’t believe the political hatch job, the real Conrad Burns is a kindhearted sincere Montanan.
Let me know what you all think?

Grandma says you will be in "DC" soon. Only You Can Make this come true.
I guess I am just one of those liberal relatives. Sorry, Ryan, but Tester still gets my vote. Aunt Irene
Its OK Auntie. We will forgive you. Looks like Tester has a good lead, so there really is no need for you to waste time on election day. You and Ken really should take a nice trip or something. Nice to hear from you. We miss you all.
Ryan, Are you suggesting that we don't vote? I can't believe that!! Ken is out helping Steve Erb, a candidate for State House, pass out fliers. Luke and Ken were going to go hunting this a.m. about 6:30. He said Jodi was not feeling well and asked me to keep an eye on her. I suggested they call the dr. and she said to come in to Miles City. They put her in the hospital for about 5 hours on IVs. It appears she has a touch of the flu. I thought it could have been the beginning of labor. I had Alivia until about 3 when Luke got her. They are going to try and hunt tonight. Ken is having surgery on Tue for his right rotator cuff. I will take Tue and Wed. off to be with him. Keep the pictures coming. They are awesome. Irene
