Montana Women Vote, with our partner organization MT Human Right Network, engaged in direct action on Monday the 6th and descended on the Senate Finance and Claims Committee to protest the cut of 15,000 children from the Healthy Montana Kids Plan. Twenty two of us wore T-Shirts that said "FULLY FUND I-155! I REPRESENT 15,000 HEALTHY MONTANA KIDS VOTERS." Together representing the 330,000 voter who supported Healthy Montana Kids.
This protest was in direct response to actions by the committee. On Friday night, 10 Senate Republicans voted to pass an amendment that reduced funding for the Healthy Montana Kids Plan by half. For more picture visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/montanawomenvote/?saved=1
