Jon Tester for U.S. Senate

My friend Rob, known better to the Montana blogging world as Wulfgar!, endorsed Jon today.

He had this to say:

I am anti-DC establishment, and become more so by the day. This bunch of politicking losers are the same bunch who handed the Senate to the Republicans in the first place … specifically because they’ve lost touch with the people who vote. Jon rightly points out that the Pearl Jam concert wasn’t a “stunt”, it was friends being friends. If the Republicans want to match Jon’s friends against Conrad’s friends, then we got us a winner, here.

[…]

Jon Tester understands that Montanans actually value our state, our relationships, and our loyalties.

[…]

I don’t care who thinks a candidate is just spiffy, half as much as I want insight into that candidates beliefs and loyalties. I want a candidate loyal to Montana, to Montanans, his friends and his neighbors. Do we elect Senators to represent establishment groups and interest parties, or to represent us? I think the latter. And that’s why I can finally, strongly, endorse Jon Tester for the US Senate.

Thanks, Rob. I’m glad to have you on-board.

Bill Section 147, a commenter at Daily Kos, has offered to match up to 20 individual $10 contributions to this campaign. If you’ve thought about giving a little and want it to count double, that’s too good of an offer to refuse.

The concert on Monday kicks off the final month of the fundraising quarter, which ends on September 30th. This may be the most important month our campaign will ever face. How well we do will send a loud message to the pundits and the D.C. insiders about the strength of our campaign, and about your commitment to sending a working Montanan to represent Montana values in the U.S. Senate.

So please, do all you can to help us make this event a success. Tell your friends and family near Missoula about the show, and about the chance to win free tickets to the reception.

It??s going to be a great night. We??ll see you in Missoula.
