Updated 2 June 2014 with response from Tammi Fisher.
In other words, she refused to fill out and return the questionnaire sent to her by the Montana Shooting Sports Association. Now, readers should be aware that MSSA differs from Marbut in one very important way: the names are spelled differently. Otherwise, there’s no practical difference. Just so you know.
How did Gary MSSA react to being dissed by Fisher? He sent the voters of Senate District 4 a little red postcard endorsing Fisher’s opponent, Mark Blasdel, who makes no secret of his love of deadly weapons:
Yellow hi-lighting added.
Is Fisher against firearms and hunting? I would be astounded to learn that she is. Stiffarming the MSSA’s questionnaire is proof of independence, nothing more.
But that independence is what Gary MSSA fears most in a candidate. He doesn’t support legislators who think for themselves (especially, I suspect, when they’re women). He only supports legislators who kiss his gunstock and swear it smells like the Second Amendment.
Thank you for your latest blog post. You are spot on — I do not respond to Special Interest surveys with one exception; because I am a member of the NRA, their survey was the only one I chose to complete. I enjoy an "A" rating from the NRA.
In addition, my son Jack recently completed his Hunter's Safety Course and is a proud outdoorsman and hunter just like his late father.
The only Special Interest Group I care about are the people of Senate District 4. They are the group I represent, they are the group I am beholden to.
Thanks again, for all you do and for keeping us all informed.
Best regards,
Tammi
