And yes, the Homesteaders, including my grandparents who left behind almost nothing, and arrived in Montana with nothing but the clothes on their back, high hopes, faith in God and dreaming of the future.

We need to work our level best in this legislative session to help grow Montana's economy, so that grandchildren can stay in Montana, grandchildren can visit their grandmother and grandfather by driving across town, not flying across the country.

All we have gotten from state government is excuses, obstruction and inaction,

I don't know a single Republican in Montana who would get in a fight in a bowling alley for John McCain.

I challenge you to be dreamers; I challenge you to be doers and let us make the greatest place in the world even better.

We have always been dreamers in Montana.
