Ravalli County, Montana Welcomes Syrian Refugees

The Board of County Commissioners for Ravalli County is set to send a letter to the US Departments of State and Homeland Security stating their opposition to allowing Syrian refugees into the US in general and Ravalli County in particular, thus misrepresenting many of the County's residents. The signers of this petition, all residents of Ravalli County, want to counteract the Commissioners' un-American and hateful letter with a declaration welcoming these refugees, after completing a reasonable vetting process, to our country, our county and our homes.

Why is this important?

We are Ravalli County residents and we don't want the ideologically-driven, mean-spirited Board of Commissioners to speak for us. NOT IN OUR NAME!
