Guest Editorial: A Candidate for Eastern Montana!

I want to be able to trust the honesty and integrity of my candidates in Montana. Toss out those candidates who don’t offer solutions, rile up the extremists on both sides, attack election integrity, and are puppets for failing views. Pick any issue and I’ll bet that you can think of some actions that might help solve the problem. In the end, we all have to admit that problems need a lot more input, discussion, and ideas before they can be solved.

Take the Problem like Immigration, Most people would agree that:

Immigration is not getting solved by either side.

Many past immigrants have been important and beneficial to this country.

Most immigrants are fleeing terrible conditions looking to America for a better life.

Drugs coming across our borders are a horrific problem.

Honest immigrants and their children should be trained, educated, and integrated into our productive working society.

We citizens recognize the problems. We should also recognize that many of our leading Republican and Democratic legislators in D.C. are unable to work at finding honest compromises and solutions to the problem. They would rather rant, rave, and attack each other for political points than solve the problems.

Enough of divisive politics. Let’s send a message to America! We have an honest, ethical Independent candidate in Gary Buchanan. Gary Buchanan will bring people together to solve problems. It’s time to send a message to the Federal Government that the people demand solutions to problems not divisive squabbling and backbiting. Demand Independent Thinkers!
