There is only one person who can reclaim the water for the Western District in Montana and that’s Dr. Al Olszewski. Dr. “O” as Senator Manzella calls him has stood up for the water rights of Western Montana citizens for years and believes water is worth fighting for with all that’s in him. Read below to see why she gets behind and supports the good doctor for congress.
“Some have asked me why I’m supporting Dr O for Congress when Trump has endorsed Flint. It’s a fair question. And while it makes me uncomfortable to answer it, it deserves to be answered.
I can only answer based on what I know; not based in what I speculate. I have no idea what Trump knows about this issue.
I’ll never forget how terrible it felt to be a freshman legislator, still wet behind the ears, fighting (with words and feeling helpless) to keep Montanas water for Montana and her water users…like our Constitution spells out…and LOSING. We were RIGHT, but yet we lost the vote by one vote! My first experience in the Matrix. It felt like a big Psyop. Why? Because it WAS. The outcome was all preplanned.
We were told so many lies about that damn Compact! Why was it 1100 pages when every other compact averaged 65 pages? We were told that if a single word was changed in the language that was passed by the state, it would have to come back to the state for reconsideration. MANY words have been changed, but we’ve never had the opportunity to reconsider it, as we were told.
It was so egregious that the Montana stock producers group split over the passage of the Compact. Divide and concur- those who can be bought, and those who can’t.
I’ve watched the citizens of Lake and Flathead County organize to the best of their ability and use their personal wealth and resources to fight this incredibly unjust, government assault on private property rights ever since. 10 years they been fighting…and losing. I know if this was happening to Ravalli County, we’d be doing the same thing.
We’ve all had the opportunity to witness Senator Daines “work across the aisle” w/Sen Tester” to secretly slip the Compact into an amendment hidden in a giant omnibus bill! Sound familiar? EVERYTHING Senator Daines has done since has come under strict scrutiny in my mind and sadly, many of his decisions have simply not passed the smell test, which saddens and angers me deeply. (i.e. Running Rosendale out of office, Wilderness areas, The Protect Act to name a few)
We’ve all had the opportunity to witness the water level of Flathead Lake be dropped to levels that destroyed the economy that depends on recreation and tourism. Do you remember?
I could write a book on this topic, and honestly it would take a very large novel to properly depict the deceit and unravel the psyop that’s been imposed upon us.
We have the opportunity to put DR O in office- someone who understands this issue intimately, and is willing to place himself in the gap…quite frankly, place himself in danger, in an effort to fight this…this MONSTER.
If we miss this opportunity, then shame on us. We deserve what we get.”
