Hi there - on my drive through DT Bozeman to pick up my wife from work I noticed a “get out the vote”
banner hung over Main st. from the group Forward Montana. I have no issue with the message, but I do
take issue with the highly partisan group who the sign is sponsored by. Curious as to why Bozeman is now
essentially advertising for Forward Montana? I frankly don’t care who someone votes for, but our town and
our Main Street is for all citizens and the city should not be endorsing ANY message from ANY political
group. My wife and I are actively pursuing moving out of this city because the political climate is beginning
to border on hostile to anyone who doesn’t fall 100% in line with this cities obvious left wing agenda. Again,
I reiterate, I don’t have an issue with any perspective or viewpoint that an individual shares freely and of
their own accord. After all, lively political debate and freedom of thought is a hallmark of our nation, but
the city itself should remain non partisan and equally represent all its citizens. This yet again reminds us
that Bozeman has no respect for its citizens that may not share in its leaders political ideology. Very
disappointed, but unfortunately that has become the norm. I don’t expect this note to make a shred of
difference, as I frankly suspect these letters are seldom read, much less taken seriously - but I felt
compelled to write and speak up for those that this city clearly has so much distain for, the average working
class Montanan.
