Stop the bribery of our representatives!
(See the movie clip on the contact page)
There is not one action, one law, one decision that comes out of our federal government that is not poisoned by the influence of money. Defense, education, agriculture, you name it, corporations, PACs, & Lobbyists routinely bribe our representatives with promises of campaign cash so they can win the next election and keep their jobs.
I'm running for our House of Representatives in Montana's Eastern District.
I want you to see "The Swamp" for what it is: The corruption of our government by the billions of dollars that have infected our entire political system. Campaign cash, the government/lobbyist revolving door and "dark money" have our representatives beholden to the highest bidder. Last election cycle, for months on end, you watched a billion dollars worth of TV ads and no one knows who paid for them.
98% of representatives are re-elected.
They keep their jobs because they do what they are told. They will never take the steps necessary to end their gravy train. More people of good will, working in the best interests of our people and our nation are desperately needed in government. Every Montanan can certainly agree with that. I'm paying for this primary fight with my own money.
I will not accept PAC or any special interest money in the primary election.
I want your trust and your vote.
LISTEN TO RADIO INTERVIEW FROM MAY 10, 2022 WITH STEWART DAVIS OF KCAP HELENA MONTANA.
In 1916, Jeannette Rankin was the Republican Montanans chose to change our political system. The first woman to hold federal office, Rankin ended the all-male way of doing things in Congress and the nation became better for it. In 2022, Montana can elect Libertarian Sam Rankin to Congress and, again, begin the change of bettering the nation by ending the negative influence of corporate and PAC money. It has to start somewhere.
Our country cannot handle politics as usual anymore.
Send Sam Rankin to Congress.

Money corruption within our political system is
turning us against ourselves. Political opportunism
has encouraged and promoted lies about people
and organizations, all in the name of profit.
