Dear Madam Secretary,

The Purple Heart conveying this letter reminds that freedom is not free. General George Washington awarded it to defenders of our revolution for what he called “virtuous ambition.” Today the enemies of our Constitutional Democracy are rapidly acquiring counter-revolutionary power, by using huge sums of money to
spread lies and disinformation with the purpose of stoking fear, hardening our people’s hearts and closing American minds to serve a tyrant’s purposes. The “deep state,” sometimes called the “administrative state,” being vilified by leaders of this ugly fascist movement started as Russia’s name for our constitution.

In another time I would have proudly fought as one of America’s soldiers, called mongrels by Hitler, to defeat his vaunted pure-blooded SS Divisions in the bloody “Battle of the Bulge.” Our generation’s fight is more serious. As a Montanan
sworn to protect and defend our United States Constitution, I am fighting today by filing to represent Montana’s United States House District 2 as a Democrat.

I have digitally submitted signed candidate information and the $1740 filing fee.

I’m asking for help from Montanans willing to serve as lamps against forces of darkness on today’s two fronts, climate and tyranny. While remaining an arsenal of Democracy we need to also devise ways to become a shelter for Democracy.

I’ll refuse all contributions, and spend less than $5,000 in this effort, so there’ll be no need to open a campaign account with the Federal Election Commission. I will be grateful for votes from those who agree with what I am saying and doing.

Sincerely yours,
John B. Driscoll
