Restore the Funds for Indian Education for All
by: Rep. Joey Jayne
The ten American Indian Caucus members in the Montana House and Senate oppose the cuts to the Indian Education for All budget in House Bill 2. The cuts to this program have been made by the House Republicans serving on the House Appropriations subcommittee on Education.
The American Indian Caucus of the 60th Montana State Legislature represents the seven American Indian reservations and the Little Shell Nation of Montana.
We encourage the reinstatement of nearly $15 million dollars that has been cut from HB2 so that all of Montana’s children can have a quality education. As Montana’s Indian reservations work toward economic and social development it is clearly understood that education is the centerpiece for those initiatives. We stand in solidarity with our schools and the educational groups that promote the advancement of education in our state.

Democracy for Montana “DFM” is a progressive group with monthly meeting to discuss current political affairs. We are involved in helping defeat corporate republicanism. We also support progressive candidates such as Jon Tester. If we can help in any way please contact us.
With a small Moveon.org group now coming together we may be able to have a positive effect on our constitutional freedoms.
I believe education to be the life blood of civil society.
