Well, the first answer to your question is no, I'm not here in Montana to do that, although if--that presumably will be a part of my townhall meeting because you've got a strong militia presence here. I'm here because I think it's important that the President explicitly acknowledge and listen to all the concerns that the Mountain West has about--have about the Federal Government. All these concerns have to be listened to. Now, on the militia movement, I think that the answer is--how much of a threat?

I had a lot of experience with the militia movement 10, 11 years ago in a different incarnation when I was Governor, groups that were--they were then calling themselves survivalists. And we had a tax protester from North Dakota or South Dakota, Gordon Kahl, killed in Arkansas. Mr. Gransbery. I remember that, yes.
