Senator $$$ Max $$$ Baucus $$$ Needs Millions to Win
Friends of Max Baucus sent out its first mass mailing to crank-up Sen. Max Baucus's 2008 reelection campaign. Whether Max is walking, or flying in a corporate jet, around Montana this time, he will be packing more cash than accomplishments that mean real improvement in the lives of everyday Montanans. He will again raise millions. He will again be one of the top PAC recipients in Congress. The fundraising letter, signed by Governor Schweitzer and Sen. Jon Tester, did not mention the wars in Afghanistan or Iraq -- or Columbia, Somalia or Palestine. His list of accomplishments included: CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program), Clean Air and WAter Act Amendments, renewable energy incentives, "protecting" the Rocky Mountain Front and opposing privatization of Social Security. Lots of promises. Lots of dollars. Lots of reasons to get the Montana Green Party back on the 2008 ballot opposing the corporate duopoly and their "public" servants.
