Dear Editor: No Support Here for Penny Ronning

Dear Editor,

I read with interest and sadness the Letter to the Editor (LTE) in the September 28th issue of the Whitehall Ledger from John Driscoll of Helena. It started off so well. He wrote about how all political parties and most media are about convenience to their agenda, whichever side their loyalties lie with.

Obviously true.

He refers to them as ‘grasstops’ politics, as opposed to ‘grassroots’ politics. Then he went on to label about every type of Montanan there is, thankfully omitting race, ethnicity, and sexual preference. The only way we are going to get past the race, ethnicity, or sexuality card is by treating everybody without thought to race, ethnicity, or sexual preference. Another issue for another day.

Calling for caution when voting, John asks you to consider Penny Ronning. This LTE leads everybody to believe that Penny Ronning is ‘grassroots’. Not the truth.

I got the pleasure of hearing Penny speak at a function in Boulder and she is a hardcore deep democrat. Her very first sentence was about 3 Capitol Policemen that died on January 6th. If people would bother to look it up, the only people who died on January 6th, were Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland. Roseanne’s death was even more brutal than poor Ashli who was shot. Both died at the hands of the Capitol Police. She is also all for abortion up to birth. She does not see a problem at the border. And it goes on. Penny Ronning, touting the hardcore Democrat line.
