On Feb. 18, on the steps of Montana's State Capital building, Speaker of the House Bob Bergren and Senate President Robert Story accepted petitions signed by more than 55,000 Montana residents asking for state funding of the Montana Meth Project.

"Today's event happened thanks to the incredible leadership of young people from all across Montana," said Mike Gulledge, chairman of the Montana Meth Project. "They worked for more than six months to collect signatures and plan today's activities. Their dedication is unprecedented."

Launched in 2005, the Montana Meth Project uses a wide range of advertising and community action programs to raise awareness about the dangers of methamphetamine use. Since its inception, meth use among Montana teens has declined by 45 percent. Source: Business Wire
