[LWVNM Action] Montana ballot negating Citizens United

[Barbara Calef]

I wrote to Rep. Chandler.  She responded, "I am willing to consider
supporting this approach but I think the analysis is more complex than
described.  Also how will this affect contributions from Labor Unions, and
advocate groups such as Planned Parenthood, Everytown Against Gun Violence
etc. ?"

We need to find a speaker, preferably an attorney, who can address all the
issues involved.

Barbara
