Barb Sackman, of Fallon, Montana, has been selected as one of the ten winners of Backstage with Barack, a national contest that allows winners to visit Barack backstage before he speaks at the Democratic convention on August 28th. Barb Sackman is a schoolteacher in Terry, MT, who, with her husband, raises wheat and cattle on their farm in Fallon.
