As I look back on the 2015 Montana Legislative Session, I am flooded with mixed emotions regarding the outcome of a few issues that I felt strongly about, and, in some cases, took tremendous strides to sway public opinion in a direction that I thought to be most in line with constitutional principles.
Sadly, my efforts and the efforts of hundreds and hundreds more, couldn’t combat the turncoats within the Republican Party; for there were just too many, and they were too well financed.
One issue that was hotly contested was the proposed Medicaid Expansion, or the Obamacare Medicaid Expansion; as termed by many a Conservative. One group, Americans for Prosperity-Montana, has been at the tip of the spear in educating Montana citizens about what Medicaid Expansion means to them.
Deputy Director of AFP-Montana, Henry Kriegel came to Kalispell recently to speak before a group at a local luncheon. I was asked to record and publish Henry’s presentation; which I have included below.
The brief companion video, also included below, is former Montana legislator, Derek Skees explaining how the “Silver Bullet” shot Conservatives in the heart in 2015.
To become more familiar with AFP-Montana, I have included an introduction taken from their website:
