This website is currently part of a draft movement trying to convince former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer to run for the United States Senate seat that is being vacated by fellow Democrat Max Baucus.
However, I'm not supporting the Draft Schweitzer movement, and I'll tell you why.
Back in 2009, Schweitzer signed into law the Montana Firearms Freedom Act, which nullified federal gun laws in Montana, which nullifies federal gun laws by exempting firearms that are manufactured in Montana and kept in Montana from federal gun laws.
On issues such as health care and campaign finance reform, Schweitzer is very progressive. Schweitzer has voiced his support for single-payer health care and has been critical of the Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court decision.
However, do we really want to replace a senator who voted against universal background checks with one who supports nullifying federal gun laws? My answer is NO!
Let's run a true progressive in the 2014 Montana U.S. Senate race!
