Thoughts on the constitutional initiatives

| October 22, 2024 7:00 AM

Editor,
Voting season is here again. It is a little bit like voting in the Legislature—you have to sort a few things out. 

Let me give you some tips I use when deciding how to vote on a bill. The first thing I do is see who is sponsoring the bill. Then I look at who supports or who opposes the bill. These two principles tell me a lot. Let’s take a look at what is on the ballot.

First, let’s talk about Constitutional Initiatives 126 and 127. Both of these initiatives are being pushed by liberal Republicans and a Democrat. Most of the money coming in to push these initiatives come from George Soros, The Bloombergs, the Murdochs and other out of state
and out of country billionaires. 

Their idea is to complicate the election process enough to fool us all.

Constitutional Initiative 128 is being pushed by Planned Parenthood, ACLU, Forward Montana, and The Fairness Project, all groups that had a presence in the Montana State Capitol and are disgustingly liberal. 

 CI 128 is being funded by out of state billionaires such as Gwendolyn Sondheim, from California (heir of the Cargill Corporation, $1.1 million) and many other billionaires from out of state. Needless to say, I am voting NO on all the initiatives.

On the Justice races, there is money from unions, NGOs, and wealthy, liberal people backing the opponents of Wilson and Swanson who I am voting for. This might be one of the most important votes we make this election. Please vote for the “Sons”—Wilson and Swanson.

Now to the US Senate race where Senator Tester has been our senator for three terms. His record doesn’t speak for himself, so he and his cronies are spending over $100 million to convince us to vote for him again. He is not getting my vote. Please join me in voting for Tim Sheehy.

For Freedom,
Senator Steve Hinebauch SD 18
 Wibaux, Montana
