Montana for McDonald

Congratulations to Congressional Candidate Dennis McDonald, and all our Democratic candidates who celebrated victory on Tuesday.
 
Dennis is a hardworking Montanan who is fighting for better-paying jobs and affordable health care, not a professional politician--like Denny Rehberg --who votes "No" to projects in Washington and then takes credit for them back home.
 
Together we can take back our congressional seat and get back to doing what our leaders are elected to do - help Montanans. Visit Dennis’ website at mcdonald4congress.us to learn how to get involved in his campaign.

Rehberg says Montanans “fall for” Montana news media in TEA Party interview

 

(Helena) – Dennis Rehberg thinks Montanans are being duped by Montana media. 

In an April TEA Party interview, Rehberg indicates Montanans “fall for” a “filtered message” disseminated by Montana

newspapers and network television news programs. 

Said Rehberg, “…we have power now, in the opportunity to use the social media of things like email, and Facebook and Twitter and Myspace and all the other ways of communication, but we don’t necessarily have to rely on ABC, NBC, CBS, the various major newspapers around the state and the nation that we have the ability to communicate with each other, and people just aren’t falling for what they used to, because they were, a message was filtered through the national media.” (Watch video here at minute 9:00)

FACT CHECK: Dennis Rehberg's "Land Grab" Scare

MDP Asks: Where is Dennis Rehberg on DISCLOSE Act?

 Bill co-sponsored by Sens. Tester, Baucus brings transparency to campaign funding after controversial Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court case

 (Helena) – The Montana Democratic Party today released the following statement regarding the Senate DISCLOSE Act, which would make campaign funding more transparent after the U.S. Supreme Court’s controversial Citizens United v. FEC decision opened the door to allow unchecked spending on political campaigns by foreign and American corporations. 

“Senators Tester and Baucus co-sponsored the DISCLOSE Act because they believe it’s wrong for corporations to buy and sell candidates,” said MDP Executive Director David Benson. “And they know that when Big Oil and Wall Street are buying ads to elect or defeat candidates, our Democracy is at risk.”

“Now Montanans are asking: Where is Dennis Rehberg on DISCLOSE? Rehberg has been masquerading as the poster boy for transparency in government, but will he actually vote for transparency when it’s time to do more than talk?

“Montana voters deserve to know whether Dennis Rehberg is on their side, or on the side of big corporations.”
