I’m a dad, I’m a hunter, I’m a fisherman, and I’m a proud Democrat running for Governor of Montana. [Will you please take a moment to split a donation between my campaign and Blue Amp Action? We’re going to need every single grassroots dollar to compete with dangerous extremist Gianforte.]( [DONATE NOW]( Growing up, I was taught to respect family, the land, and guns. But our way of life is under attack. Thanks to multi-millionaire Governor Greg Gianforte, Montana is being overrun by outsiders and his millionaire buddies who are buying their second, third, and fourth homes. Meanwhile, real Montanans can’t even afford to live in our state! While I’m no career politician like Gianforte, I do have a record of standing up for my values. I stood up to politicians and big corporations who threatened our indigenous community’s sacred Badger Two Medicine. As a former executive for a major gun manufacturer, I’ve spoken up against the dangerous radicalization in the industry, while maintaining the importance of a strong 2nd amendment. I believe in Montana where we protect our rivers, public land, water, and the air we breathe. I believe all Montana kids deserve a quality education. I believe in personal freedoms, responsibility and opportunity for all Montanans. I’m running for Governor because as a ranch kid, I was taught that if you saw something that needed to be done, you just did it. And {NAME} – Montana is at a crossroads. It’s hard to believe but a second term for Gianforte would be even more disastrous than his first. In just one term he’s already pushed for a 20% property tax hike, limited our access to public lands, and threatened women’s privacy and freedom. A second term will see our public schools defunded and Montana turned into a playground for the rich. Do I need to go on? [Listen closely, {NAME} – this is going to be a competitive race, and there’s a LOT on the line. Unlike Gianforte, I don’t have a bunch of millionaire pals I can call up to donate to my campaign. I’m going to rely on grassroots donors like you. Will you chip in whatever you’re able right now to my campaign and Blue Amp Action to help power my fight?]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, a split donation between Ryan Busse and Blue Amp Action will go through immediately: [Express Donate: $5]( [Express Donate: $10]( [Express Donate: $25]( [Or, donate another amount]( If you want a governor who puts Montanans first, join our movement right now and let’s work together to get this done. The Montana way. Ryan Busse Candidate for Governor of Montana [DONATE NOW]( Cliff Schecter President, Blue Amp Action Amplify Good About BlueAmp Action: We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia. Thank you for your support for all we do!
