Group to protest Baucus' health care reform in Big Sky

By JOHN S. ADAMS Tribune Capitol Bureau

HELENA — Donors planning to attend Sen. Max Baucus' "Camp Baucus" fundraiser at the posh Big Sky Resort south of Bozeman this weekend will be met by an unfriendly welcoming committee.

On Friday, Baucus kicks off the first of the annual three-day fundraising event, and health care reform activists will be there to greet Baucus' donors as they drive the narrow and windy road to the event.

"A lot of biggies show up at these events. When Max has a fundraiser, they show up. That's what we're trying to bring attention to," said Gene Fenderson of Helena, a retired labor leader and co-founder of Montanans for Single Payer.

4. Montanans for Single Payer
is "right wing"?

The attendees of "Camp Baucus", paying at $2500 per individual, are the ones that are his right wing buddies.

I'm going to try to make it to the fundraiser Aug 8th at Baucus' Sieben Ranch to protest.
