“As I am sure all of you know, the election for Sheriff is coming up quickly. The Sheriff is very important to us here. He is our defense and protector against the federal government–actually our last line of defense–and holds supreme power within the county. No one supercedes him in authority within the county. That being said, it is up to us to do our best for ourselves and each other to get the ‘right’ man in place.
“Wayne Kelly has invested extensive time and personal expense to learn about the Constitution and the founding principles upon which this country was created and brought forth. He is committed, prudent, and selfless in his willingness to take on this important task for all of us with the goal of securing our safety and God-given rights.”
Constitutional scholar and Ex-Presidential candidate from the Libertarian Party Michael Badnarik will be the next speaker on June 1st for Celebrating Conservatism.

Thanks all, for being patient! Later posts will be more in-depth, but wanted to get the word out on a few things.
First, we have some Montana Candidate information coming up. For starters, we are enthusiastic for a REAL alternative to Denny Rehberg with Mark French! Take a look! Later, we hope to post videos with candidate interviews, so you can easily review the candidates and their positions for yourselves – something the mainstream news doesn’t really allow us to do.
Please deeply consider the Libertarian platform when voting, since it is close to the model wanted in Montana, especially by those who identify with the term, “Ron Paul Republican.” Visit IVoteLibertarian.com to learn more about the 2010 Ravalli County Libertarian movement, and sign up for email updates for upcoming events and activism.
Next, there is a Regional/National Event coming here in about a month! As feature in the Daily Paul:
The Liberty Convention is being held for 2 full days and nights: May 21-22, 2010 in Missoula, Montana at the Adams Center at the U of M! Along with workshops and rallies, their featured speakers are Chuck Baldwin, Sheriff Richard Mack, Red Beckman, Gary Marbut, and others. For more information, see the Ravalli-Bell.com website!
That’s all for now – more to come later! Thanks all!

The idea is to have contact information for Government Officials at all levels at your fingertips, as well as ways to get the best and latest news, social networks, and anything else that will help you be more informed with less effort! It is under construction at the moment, but at least most of the Government Officials contact information is already there! You can just go to the tab marked “Resources” at the top of the page, or click the link below:
Congratulations to ALL of you. In December of 2008, this group started with about 25 people, and there were approximately 600 people that showed up for Sheriff Mack in November – WOW!

Printed LETTERS will be available for our signatures to deliver to Sheriffs McMeekin and Hoffman, based on Sheriff Mack’s Supreme Court decision in the 1990′s that it is the Sheriff’s duty to protect us from the Federal onslaught of taxation, regulation, and stolen liberties – the most important being our medical freedoms (and in particular, the seeming rollout of mandatory vaccines like the H1N1)!

NOW – for some NEWS!
For all of you who went to the Tea Parties in Bozeman and in Helena this weekend – GREAT job! Here is a great article in the Helenair.com covering the Helena Event – nice photo of Missoula’s Pauline Dean! WEHEW!
In Hamilton, Mona Docteur and Dan Cox were interviewed in-depth by the usually-liberal Missoula Independent, their October 29, 2009 article entitled, “Questioning Conservatism” was very well done! Congratulations to Celebrating Conservatism!!
Recently in the Ravalli Republic, there were a couple articles of interest. One is essential reading, Dewey Baker’s “Republican Party Losing Its Way” and the other is an adversary to the conservative movement, Mr. Bill LaCroix of the so-called Bitterroot Human Rights Alliance, his piece entitled, “‘Patriot’ Rhetoric Based on Emotion” and frankly demonstrates his ignorance of, amongst other things, the Celebrating Conservatism events. Read the follow-up comments (some of them are GREAT) and of course, feel free to leave one or two yourselves! Today, the voting turnout was rather uneventful, although some may find Mayoral Candidate, Michael Spreadbury’s Hearing interesting.
And NOW for some FUN!! (And it is actually Educational)
Folks in their 40′s now will likely remember the 1970′s “Schoolhouse Rock” series, which were short educational clips that aired between Saturday Morning Cartoon television shows, and educated about Grammar, Multiplication Tables – AND American History. This is how a few of us learned the Preamble of the US Constitution – ENJOY!!
Carter E. Beck, MD is a well-reputed Neurosurgeon practicing in Missoula, Montana. Amongst many other things, he is also the Vice-President of the Montana Neuroscience Institute Foundation. His timely lecture will address the not-so-bright-side of government-provided health care, from a physician’s standpoint, and why it is important for all of us to oppose the proposed health care initiatives considered now in Congress.
