Re: Today’s Slice column 2
One of my favorite transplanted Montanans weighed in on the state flags matter.
"As much as I like Coop, why not shake it up a bit and put Jeannette Rankin on the flag," he wrote. "She was the first woman in Congress, elected from Montana a couple of years before women could vote nationwide.
"Oh, yeah. She was also the only person to vote against entry into both World War I and World War II despite pleas from feminists that she go along with the majority. A Republican with real conviction."
