why buy one that is so controversial?? Re CDU -- good luck to the longs and the bottom fishers -- maybe you bought some from me. I'm moving on.

Just spoke with Dick DeVoto, president of CAU. They fully intend to be on the Nov. 2004 ballot as Montana only requires 5% signatures (20,500) for initiatives. When they lost 52-48 in 1998, CAU was prevented by a law (now deemed unconstitutional) from campaigning or funding opposition to I-137, plus they were unprepared. No longer, they will be active participants and funders of the repeal move. Secondly the economy of Montana is a mess, so attitudes and the climate have changed. There's a backlash against wealthy left coasters who have laid claim to the state. Labor is backing the repeal initiative, the state itself stands to benefit. Montana Tech is the royalty holder on the property and this would be a windfall for them. There are too many benefits to just ignore, as economy and jobs are now dominating Montana politics.
