## Resource

I apologize to you all. I have been out of commission forthe last few weeks due to technical difficulties. In fact, I discussed thosetechnical difficulties with you at the beginning of this episode of the RockyMountain Freedom Podcast. Jeff Mangan was my guest on thisepisode of the Rocky Mountain Freedom Zone. We discussed Dark Money in theUnited States and the state of Montana. We just scratched the surface of darkmoney in Montana. I am hoping to have Jeff on again some time in the next fewweeks. I think you will have a good idea of what dark money is and how iteffects Montana and the rest of the country. At the end of the episode, we brieflymentioned a hopefully soon to be an initiative on the ballot after June 19thof this year. Check out, https://transparentelection.org/ Even this blind man can see howdark money has corrupted Montana and the rest of the country. I’ll show you!
