You could have an original Gov. Schweitzer Veto Board in your office.
A Montana non-profit is auctioning one of the only remaining veto boards created by Montana Gov.Brian Schweitzer when he vetoed a record number of TEA Party, frivolous, and unconstitutional bills during the 2011 legislative session.
Indeed, the TEA Partiers' dreams of legislative glory ended in a blaze of smoke and fire on the steps of the Montana Capitol as the Governor pulled out his branding iron and burned a giant VETO onto a pile of Tea Party bills.
Check out the auction and make your bid now!
The Governor has given one of these rare plaques to Rachel Maddow; Nancy Keenan, President of NARAL Pro-Choice America; and Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood of America. Now, you can bid on e-Bay to own one for yourself. The Pro-Choice Montana website has the details. If you win, Gov. Schweitzer will write you a personal message on the historic veto plaque. There is ONLY ONE DAY LEFT to bid.
Here's the Rachal Maddow clip of the event.
Says Maddow " this is so much better than politics has a right to be." Maddow has the board in her office, and so could you.
The auction is for a really great cause, to help fight the war on women in Montana, so bid today, as there is only one day left before it's gone.
The bills Schweitzer vetoed were classic GOP crap, including: a voter suppression bill, which tried to make it harder for people register to vote; a bill to permit the use of cyanide by large gold mining companies (companies that funded many of the GOP legislators campaigns); a bill to give sheriffs authority over the federal government in terror investigations; and a bill to overturn a voter-approved initiative to allow seriously ill patients to use marijuana legally.
