40. You couldn't just call and report it found? What motivated you to check her political affiliation?

Did you just assume AMEX=republican?

So you did some "intensive" googling... whatever for? 8 people out of 10 would simply call AMEX and follow their instructions, but you felt the need for some intense googling and simply HAD to know her political affiliation and who she'd contributed to. Odd to say the least.

Assuming the republican HQ in Montana is in Helena, isn't she a long way away from the nearest christmas tree farm? According to the map, it's almost 200 miles from Helena. And you're saying she just came out of the blue and said "I'm a bigwig" at the republican party headquarters, and dropped it straightening yard signs? Strange for anyone to just volunteer the bigwig part...

Cool story though Bro.
