"Dear North Carolina: We’re open for business … for everyone. Sincerely Montana." – Governor Bullock and Montana officials market big opportunities – #ChooseMontana

When North Carolina’s governor signed a measure blocking its largest city from enacting an anti-discrimination law, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock http://governor.mt.gov/Home/Governor tweeted out a message from across the plains: "Dear North Carolina: We’re open for business … for everyone. Sincerely Montana."

The tweet not only affirmed the Democratic governor’s support of gay and lesbian rights, but it also underscored — albeit cheekily — his administration’s efforts to draw attention from investors and entrepreneurs.

Bullock’s tweet, which has been shared more than a thousand times across the Internet, was followed by the hashtag #ChooseMontana.

Bullock’s tweet, written by a communications staffer on the governor’s behalf, was of course as much political as it was economic. Bullock is attempting to define contrasts between his policies and those of Republicans, not only in North Carolina but closer to home.
