National Guardswoman from Great Falls. To source this Valerie
story so someone won’t try play the conspiracy theory card,
I heard the story from a friend of mine in Scobey whose
wife has a sister in Great Falls. This sister has a daughter,
who is the subject of this story. So when Flint introduced
me to his state-wide-listening audience, I knew I had to tell
this story so the thousands of listeners could hear it and

spread the word. Paid for by Valerie Moore. Ashley Moore Treasurer. 4241 Hwy 16 N Plentywood, MT 59275
So here’s the story. This Montana National
Guardswoman was deployed to somewhere in the U.S.
When her mother went to check on her daughters home
she discovered squatters living there (a man, a woman and
two kids). She tried to do something about it but since she
was not the land owner she could not. When her daughter
returned to Great Falls she went to a local judge. The
judge ruled on a Tuesday the squatters had to get out of
the house on Friday. They did — and took everything the
homeowner owned with them — right down to stealing
nearly everything inside the house, even the curtain rods
(they must have done this in the cover of darkness when the
whole neighborhood was asleep).
So the point is this: if you think squatting is just a
New York City thing these days and it can’t happen here in
Montana, then you are wrong. It has now occurred in Great
Falls, and to add insult to injury, to a person who is putting it
on the line by defending and
protecting our country. So
if you think it can’t happen
here in Montana, it already
has, which means more of
