WASHINGTON, D.C. – Montana’s Congressman, Denny Rehberg, today issued the following statement in response to numerous “Tea Party” protests scheduled to occur around Montana on tax day, April 15, 2009.

“Montanans are understandably outraged at the dangerously irresponsible spending in Washington, D.C. The Tea Parties springing up around the nation exemplify that anger, and I hear their message loud and clear.
