New conservative newsletter making the rounds in the Bitterroot

Looks like the Ravalli Republic and the Bitterroot Star aren’t doing a good enough job in the eyes of some Ravalli County citizens (big surprise, I know). So a group has decided to start its own newsletter, dubbed the Ravalli Voice, to give light to issues the other “liberal” newspapers are turning their backs to. “Progressive scoundrels” beware!

I received an email chain last week, and here’s the first email explaining the newsletter.

Dear Citizens of Ravalli County and Montana and Beyond:

We now have a Newsletter that seems to be the only way we can communicate to each other since the newspapers in RC refuse to allow our letters in their papers.

I am grateful for those who started this newsletter, Keith and Eadie Kubista.

I thought of doing something similar long ago in order for us to keep in close contact as I figured the day may come when we HAVE TO communicate this way. Looks like that time has come.

It is pretty scary and such a shame that things have come this far.

However, when we all stand together and tell them “no more” and take charge ourselves, we can rest a bit easier and be proud that we are using our own powers and rights to make our own world a better place from our own corner of it.

Please consider signing up on your own as I would not just give out your info to anyone, even a trusted source.

Simply click on their email address at the bottom of their letter below.

Regards,

Cathy Kulonis,
Ravalli County Housewife

And here’s the second part of the email I received where the creators of the Ravalli Voice explain even further their reasoning for creating the newsletter.

Pass this on

As all Ravalli County citizens should be aware of by now, the Progressive Left has conducted a vicious campaign of accusation and misinformation directed against our duly elected County Commissioners. These extremists seek to drive our county commissioners from office by whatever means necessary, and replace them with their slate of leftwing extremists. Surprising to many, the State and Nation are closely watching Ravalli County to see whether such underhanded tactics succeed in the face of citizen opposition. You might say that “as Ravalli County goes, so goes the Nation”

Until recently, leftists have taken turns submitting daily diatribes to local newspapers criticizing our county government. Responsible spokesmen among us have attempted as best they can to respond with rebuttals in letters-to-the editors of the three local papers.

We are losing the battle to superior forces, however. The Missoulian and its subsidiary the Ravalli Republic will no longer publish any mudslinging letters, a good thing in a way, except that now the leftwing Bitterroot Star has the field to itself. Its current owner is former president of ‘Friends of the Bitterroot’, an environmental extremist and anti-business front organization. Michael Howell continues on as its publisher, and authors much of its opinionated material masquerading as ‘news’. Our letters have little chance of successfully countering leftist propaganda published in the Bitterroot Star.

We are left with few alternatives except a frontal barrage of truth against leftist lies and accusations. In that regard, we plan to carry our conservative message directly to the citizens of Ravalli County through other media, including distribution of a periodic newsletter by email.

Our new email newsletter is aptly named ‘Ravalli Voice”. It will convey our messages directly to the Bitterroot Valley’s citizens by email. At this time, we are seeking to establish a large subscriber base. We ask that upon receipt of this first installment, you forward it to as many Ravalli County residents as possible, copying us at Ravalli Voice so we can expand our email address file. Our ‘reply’ address is RavalliVoice@cybernet1.com. Remember, be sure to forward this email using ‘CC’ instead of “BCC’ so we can retrieve the forwarding addresses of your friends.

If we all diligently forward this message to a few friends, soon everyone in our county will know what these ‘Progressive’ scoundrels are up to.

Our first installment may provide a surprise for you. It may even come as an unpleasant shock to some of our local leftists. It was originally written as a letter-to-the-editors of local newspapers, but none would publish it. We believe this is information that the public has a right to know.

Also included in the email was the first edition of the newsletter, but as the above email points out, the Ravalli Republic strays from mudslinging and I am going to stick with that precedent and not include it in this blog post.
