The message:

Keep politics out of our courts and protect democracy under the Big Sky! Let the people, not political parties, choose Montana's nonpartisan Supreme Court Justices. Oppose all bills that would create partisan judicial elections – including SB 42, HB 506, and HB 838.

We are asking you to take the following Call To Action to protect democracy under the Big Sky, by sending a message to your elected leaders and asking them to oppose Senate Bill 42, which aims to create partisan judicial elections; and House Bill 506, which would create a pathway for a constitutional amendment giving the Governor, not the people, the power to appoint Montana's Supreme Court justices.

These bills threaten the separation of powers that is fundamental to our democracy. Let's call this what it is: a politicized power grab that would degrade the impartiality of the Montana's courts by turning future judges into politicians.
