Dear Editor: Tester Testing

Dear Editor,

Tester Testing...so tired...tired of the lies. I have grown accustomed to the fact that many politicians would rather tell an 'untruth ' than admit they are worthless. But the commercials I see on TV threaten my ability not to put my remote through the screen.

I write of the commercials where you hear, "I am John Tester, and I approve of this message." Tester claims he has been after Biden to secure the border. Except Tester has supported Biden's open border policy. Tester claims that he has told Biden that allowing all these illegals in throughout the United States is detrimental to the United States. Yet Tester supports Bidens plans to ship the illegals throughout the United States. Tester talks about how fentanyl and meth are killing Montanans. Yet he supports Biden's policy of leaving the border wide open and the citizens of the United States at risk to cartels and gangs. Tester claims he voted for the strongest border bill ever. That is a huge "untruth." The House Republicans passed a bill that would shut down the border and return power to the Border Patrol. It passed the House and was sent to Schumer for the Senate to take it up. Except Schumer threw it on his desk, and there it sits. The border bill Tester supported allowed 5,000 illegals a day. Did nothing to secure the border or free up the Border Patrol so they could quit being babysitters to the thousands coming from all around the world.

Then there are Tester's claims that his competition is taking tons of lobbyist money. This is from the king of lobbyist cash, who took more than any other politician last time.

Before you vote, do yourself a favor. Investigate the issues and how your choices will affect our children's future. Vote with your brain and not your feelings.
