Hot topics. None of it has his opinion just the topic, his Montana history and how to donate money.
People, especially elderly assume that he thinks the same as they do. I write to him and express my opinion, politely. This year I got no response except his staff turned my name and address over to the RNCC. F*** I got a letter from Ted (ick) Cruz and someone else.
This is how they care about our opinions.
Hold them individually responsible for everything and anything. Politely vent away. Enjoy the satisfaction of speaking out. Perhaps someone on his staff will see the light and walk away.
