by Eric Dondero As many of you know I recently won a major federal court case out of Oklahoma for political free speech and rights of petitioners. The 10th Circuit overturned a lower court ruling which would have outlawed out-of-state petitioners from participating in the Oklahoma electoral process. I was one of two plaintiffs in the case. Needless to say, Howie Rich, Paul Jacob, Phil Blumel of US Term Limits, Scott Tillman, Leon Drolet, our Attorney Eddie Griem, and myself were overjoyed... Read Full Story

I don’t know how many of you caught the speech Governor Brian Schweitzer (D) of Montana gave at the Democratic Convention. It was right before Hillary Clinton’s speech, so it’s probably going to get overlooked, but that’s a shame.

If you’re curious, Gayle Harrell is sitting on a very narrow (less... Read Full Story

That was one message we got from the Democratic Governors Association Media Roundtable where we heard from Gov. Joe Manchin (WV), Gov. Brian Schweitzer (MT) and Gov. Martin O'Malley (MD) .  The water issues going on in the West make our little skirmish with Florida and Alabama look like child's play.  In a time where "going green" has become a necessity, it was good to hear from Gov. Schweitzer some specifics of Senator Obama's plan was water restoration in the West.  Lauren Logan Benedict... Read Full Story

On Tuesday, Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer gave a great speech. His speech was focused on energy, John McCain’s votes against energy and the “petro dictators.” Not only is Schweitzer’s speech great but the guy is an interesting character to watch.
