What I'll Do
As a freshman representative, my initial influence would be limited ...
So, here are the specific issues I will tackle, as heard from the folks I’ve spoken with around Montana:
- Protecting our public lands – Montana’s economy depends on tourism, agriculture, and natural resources; all of these must be carefully balanced and policy changes implemented slowly so that local economies are not impacted dramatically, and we must ensure that, while public lands must be self-sustaining economically, any commercial development to that end must be responsible and leave the land in the way it was (or better off) once the commercial endeavor is complete.
- Balancing the federal budget – we cannot leave our children and grandchildren with a bigger mess than we received from our parents.
- Shrinking the size and scope of the federal government – social policies not specifically addressed by the US Constitution are best implemented and vetted at the local and state level, rather than being imposed in an all-encompassing, top-down approach.
- Getting the financial influence out of public policy-making – during elections and while in office. So that I “walk the walk” to that end, I am refusing any financial campaign donations.
What can You Do?
Speak Out!
On March 1, one year ago, began the most expensive election campaign in Montana history. Let's not let that happen again!
Collectively we can speak louder with our voices and hands than the corporate-money purchased media. If our Democracy is to be preserved for individual citizens, and not given over to the few wealthy enough to purchase influence, then WE MUST SPEAK without money. I urge all Montanans to refrain from campaign donations to _any_ candidate, and to protect our 1st Amendment right to free speech, by rolling up our sleeves and doing the work of a Government Of The People by speaking out for the candidates and policies you support. #MoneyIsNotSpeech #NotOneCent
Your Voice Matters, and is Needed!
The ONLY JOB of Montana's Representative is to REPRESENT, and do to that we must all speak up.
I will focus on opening lines of communication with all Montanans,
keeping Montanans informed about public policy issues which affect our great state and it's people,
and championing your concerns in Congress.
On your Montana ballot, vote for Doug Campbell, independent voice for the PEOPLE of Montana.
