Dear Editor: Tester's Voting Record

Dear Editor,

The Montana Senate race seems to be a highly emotional campaign. With one candidate an incumbent it should be more fact than emotion, that is do you approve of Tester's voting record or not.

Tester has a 100 rating from Planned Parenthood. If there is more to a US Senator, please read on. Other national organizations rate Tester:

• NRA: "F" on Gun Rights

• Eagle Forum: 17%, same as Chuck Schumer

• Heritage Action: lifetime score 8%. Average Senate Democrat 11%

• Americans for Prosperity: 28%

• Council for Citizens Against Government Waste: 16%

• National Taxpayers Union: 20%

How did Tester vote to receive these scores:

• Audit of Federal Reserve – voted against
