Spoke with outgoing Senate Majority Leader Art Wittich, who is switching to the House — he says because the Democrat Governor will be on offense, and the House is where to stop him. He says he knows Article V better than any one in the legislature. (Prof. Rob Natelson referred me to him). He didn’t offer to help — he’s skeptical. He says the Birchers will be coming on strong to stop us.
It’s an uphill fight, on foreign ground, for me. If I don’t do it, no one will. We’ve got to have Montana, or this whole thing goes up in smoke. I’ll give it all I’ve got — all I can. I may spend a week or more in Helena, in January, lobbying individual legislators.
In the late 80’s Reagan wrote a letter to a Montana state legislator, asking him to support the same Resolution I’ll be pushing. I’ve asked Lew Uhler to get a copy.
That’s one idea. I’ll come up with others.
