Rep. Kraig Powell of Heber City, Utah may be our best sponsor, and when we came up short last year I told him, “I’ll be back.”
So I may wind up spending a week in Salt Lake City lobbying. I think I’ll probably have to do the same in Montana. If the legislators will give me a fair hearing, if they haven’t been captured by the Birchers/Eagle Forum crowd, I’m confident it will work.
It’s a big commitment, but, what the hell. It’s not like I’m making such a huge sacrifice. Bill Fruth and Dave Biddulph have done more. I made a promise to Kraig that I have to keep, and Montana is the one state we just have to get this year. If we don’t get it I don’t think we’ll get to 34 before 2017 — two and a half years. Even if we’re one or two short in 2016, it can still be a big political issue that year, if the Presidential candidate chooses to talk about it. And that would probably depend on the extent to which voters are even aware of it.
Publicity is what we seek. I’ve spent a fair amount of time trying to think of some publicity stunt, but have failed.
The election is four weeks from tomorrow. This particular midterm will go down as a vote of no confidence in Obama. Part of it will, I think, be racial — a white backlash against Eric Holder’s blatantly pro-black policies, against the Ferguson Missouri riots, and against affirmative action generally.
And against the affirmative action President specifically.
