It's a story as old as the American West iteslf: state poltiical leaders standing up against the attempts of Eastern intellectuals to meddle in local affairs.

“Out of state millionaires have no businesses imposing their will on the hard working people of Montana,” said Governor Schweitzer. “Howard Rich and his wealthy buddies won’t even reveal who is funding their campaign. I invite them to come to Montana, tell us who they are and what their shady initiative is all about.”

Governor Schweitzer continued, “Mr. Rich has clearly seen Manhattan, New York – maybe he should meet me in Manhattan, Montana. As a rich world traveler he has probably seen the Kremlin, maybe it is time for him to meet the folks of Kremlin, Montana. It is appalling that big money fat cats would use our state as a testing ground for their ridiculous agenda. They need to stop hiding behind their money and be straight with the people of Montana.”
