Some Ravalli County voters say they want Montana's Senators to explain their voting record when it comes to government spending.

A group of Ravalli County residents stopped at Senator Jon Tester's and Max Baucus' Missoula offices to drop off petitions on Monday. They're asking the Senators to appear at a public forum in Ravalli County and explain their voting record.

Group members say they feel that the Senators and the Obama Administration are putting Democracy at risk by their fiscal irresponsibility. The group also says that the government is inhibiting freedom of speech and moving toward socialist government.

"The voters need to ask the senators questions, more than that we need answers. We're very concerned with what's going on" commented protest organizer James McKoy.

Senator Baucus' spokesperson said the Senator appreciates people taking the time to express their views while Senator Tester's spokesperson told us that Tester has an open door policy and has established a solid record of open and accountable public service.
