Rural Montana Political Action Committee.  That sounds like a benign enough organization; it sounds like it could even be beneficial in some parts of the state.  But apparently it's only beneficial if you happen to be a lesbian.

Rural Montana PAC was formed earlier this year by a who's who of environmentalist type folks--not exactly what you have in mind when you think of Alzada--with the purpose of "electing candidates who will improve the quality of life in rural Montana."  Rural Montana's executive director, Aaron Browning, is a veteran of the Idaho Democratic Party and the Northern Plains Resource Council, not exactly organizations with the best interest in mind for rural folks.

According to their latest PAC report, the only contributor of note to the PAC was the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund, which came in with a generous $8,000 contribution as of May 17 deadline.  The rumor around Helena is all that money is being spent on behalf of openly-lesbian Senate candidate Christine Kaufmann.

Isn't that interesting?  Now, there's nothing that would prohibit the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund from paying for their own independent expenditures in Montana, so why would they funnel money through a stealth environmental group?  What is it they're trying to hide?
