The Montana Plan | Our Elevator Pitch disruptdarkmoney.feather.blog/elevator-pitch
The Montana Plan | Our Elevator Pitch
The Montana Plan is a constitutional ballot initiative to end corporate and dark money in Montana politics. It uses authority our state has always held—the power to decide what powers our corporations have—to stop them all, even those based out of state, from spending to influence Montana’s local, state, and federal politics.
