Montana will turn blue...it is our destiny and we at the Gallatin Angelic Troublemakers hope to do our part to make this happen.
I am a member of the Gallatin Angelic Troublemakers and we are located in the beautiful state of Montana in the Gallatin Valley. This wonderful group is comprised of a local group of peaceful citizens that are passionate about creating a better world despite the current political climate. This group works together to preserve public lands, freedom of speech, dignity and civil rights for all humans, health and reproductive rights, and so much more.
I am starting a new biweekly series here on Kos called “The Montana Chronicles” which will highlight the Gallatin Angelic Troublemakers and what we are doing to make a difference in our state. I will also try to summarize political issues, current news and progressive action taking place in the Gallatin Valley. Granted, I am not as skilled a diary writer as most here on Kos as this is only my third diary, but hopefully, I will become more proficient with each diary posted. I will gladly and humbly accept constructive criticism and helpful tips from DKos users.
Since this is the first official “Montana Chronicles” diary — I am going to keep it simple and focus on what the Gallatin Angelic Troublemakers have been up to this week.

Senator Daines dodging constituents at the airport — 6/29/17
Several members of the Gallatin Angelic Troublemakers took the time to drive to the Bozeman -Yellowstone International Airport to greet Senator Daines and hopefully discuss healthcare issues. Instead, Daines decided to sneak out the back door so to speak.
As one member stated:
Senator Daines of Montana goes to great lengths to avoid his constituents. After he successfully dodged us once again at the airport, we have a message for him about our need for affordable, accessible healthcare.
Another member states:
Steve Daines welcoming committee at the Bozeman airport tonight. We were upstairs waiting for him and when he saw us he had security escort him out a side door. Pretty scary protesters. He is actively avoiding the very people he was elected to represent. That's what I call cowardice.
This may seem like a small group of peaceful protesters but these are passionate, dedicated Montanans who are diligent in their pursuit for a better Montana and world.

Grassroots video of the Republican Insurance Plan — R.I.P.
Earlier this week, I posted a diary of a fantastic grassroots video made by the Gallatin Angelic Troublemakers to highlight the Republican Healthcare Plan (R.I.P.) This group worked long and hard to make a simple yet effective video highlighting how TrumpCare will impact Montanans and the general population as a whole. Please take a look as this video is incredibly well done. We would like to get the video seen by as many Montanans as possible! (and everyone else in the country too).
