big sky democrats

For over two years, the Big Sky Democrats group of young professionals in Montana has walked across the state organizing our signature Late Night Events. Helena, Butte, Missoula, Kalispell, Lewistown, Billings, Great Falls - if only we could get out to Glendive!

The controversial right-wing talk show host David Berg is well known in Montana for spewing anti-progressive, conservative rhetoric. We have come to expect ridiculous views, inaccurate statistic generation, and flat-out lies from the Northern Ag Network morning show host.

This time, however, he's gone too far.

Last Thursday, January 25, Dave Berg attempted to twist Governor Brian Schweitzer's State of the State address into something he could criticize. We're fine with that, as we believe in an individual's freedom to talk out loud about issues with which they disagree. (We're also fine with that because we find it difficult to believe that anyone who listens to both the State of the State Address and Dave Berg will have no problem figuring out which one is the delusional misanthrope.)

Please join The Big Sky Democrats in welcoming Jon Tester, Montana's next U.S. Senator to Missoula on Tuesday, October 24, 2006 from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Where: The Iron Horse Brew Pub's 501 Lounge, 501 N. Higgins Ave., 2nd Floor, Missoula

Suggested Donation: $25. Kindly RSVP to Deb at deb@testerforsenate.com or to Melanie at brock.melanie@gmail.com

At this point, parties are set for Billings and Missoula.....this is what it entails:

Putting the Party Back into Politics

If you haven’t heard, the BSDs are holding yet another trademark Late Night Party – this time in the geographic center of Montana, also known as Lewistown.

Make plans to be in the center of the universe as the Big Sky Democrats kick it late night L-town style at the Mint Bar and Grill, August 5th.

Festivities get under way around 9:15pm at the Mint, which is located in downtown Lewistown at 113 4th Ave South.

Be prepared to share a few drinks with new friends, catch up with old ones, groove to some tunes, and saunter in the buzz of the 2006 Montana Democratic revolution. more

Group’s Candidates Go 4 for 4 in Legislative Primary Races

(BILLINGS) – In a move that is sure to rock the political establishment in Montana, all four candidates endorsed by the Big Sky Democrats won primary races for the Montana Legislature Tuesday.

“These victories prove that Montanans are ready to elect new young leaders,” said Big Sky Democrats Political Director Tim Tatarka. “We couldn't be more excited as an organization to be able to help make such a positive impact on the Montana political scene.”

Endorsing four candidates for the legislature, each of whom is under the age of 30, the Big Sky Democrats contributed the maximum amount allowable to each candidate and provided them with on-the-ground grassroots help in their respective races. more
