Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) bashed the Koch brothers-funded conservative outside group Americans for Prosperity for botching the total population of Montana in a response to Montana Democrats advancing legislation that would expand Medicaid in the state.
The botched statement, by Montana Americans for Prosperity state director Zach Lahn said "the voices of millions of Montanans" didn't want to expand Medicaid through Obamacare. It came after the Montana House of Representatives passed a Medicaid expansion bill.
Montana's population does not extend into the millions. - TPM, 4/13/15
Here's what Bullock's e-mail said:
Here’s what I learned this week: When you’re a DC-based group funded by the billionaire Koch brothers and more concerned with spending unlimited amounts to buy elections than promoting good policies, you don’t care about the facts -- or how many people live in Montana.
Montana’s population passed one million people for the first time ever in 2012. So imagine my surprise when the latest billionaire-funded attack accused me of opposing the “voices of millions of Montanans.”
Let me tell you what’s most startling about this -- Not knowing how many “millions” of people live in Montana won’t stop the Koch brothers and Americans for Prosperity from spending millions of dollars to buy our elections.

To the Koch brothers and their attacks its: “Copy and paste in alphabetical order: Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana. Let’s get the next attack ad, negative mailer or fake newspaper out the door.”
They want to buy elections and legislatures. They’re not concerned with how Medicaid expansion benefits tens of thousands of Montanans, contributes millions to our economy and promotes our rural health care facilities.
Make your voice louder than #MillionsofMontanans by contributing $25, $50 or $100 dollars now.
