BILLINGS - Several grassroot political organizations prepare for the president's arrival in Bozeman later on this week.

The conservative group Montana Shrugged plans on sending a bus full of people to Bozeman. Leaders expect several thousand people to turn out rally against Obama's healthcare and cap and trade policies. Organizers say events like this gives grassroot groups a boost to promote their beliefs.

"We've been energized all along since April 15, but it will definitely give us a shot in the arm and a boost to improve membership and get bigger rallies going," said Montana Shrugged's Eric Olsen.

Several organizers are also planning on making the trip early in hopes they can find tickets to attend the presidents townhall.
