Editor, If you donate to the Humane Society of the United States and believe that most of your donation goes to animal shelters, think again. But don’t feel alone, because recent polling shows 71 percent of donors mistakenly think HSUS is a pet shelter umbrella group, and that money goes back to loc...
Editor, Last week, a friend of mine in Polson gave me a large postcard from a PAC group stating that Carmine Mowbray voted against parents’ rights and further went on to say that children as young as 5 would be taught scientific names for both male and female reproductive organs, as well as other un...
Editor, Tribal Veteran Representatives have been given Tribal Council directive to provide assistance to military veterans — tribal members and non-member veterans living on the reservation. Lloyd Jackson, Mary Rogers and Bill Rogers work aggressively to make sure our reservation veterans receive th...
Editor, My hope is reason rather than ignorance helps us pick our next group of legislators. Friendship does not equal competence.

Carmine Mowbray considered HB 456, which would have allowed Planned Parenthood to write sex education books used in our school’s health curriculum. I&rsquo...
Editor, There is good reason to applaud our country’s commitment to free speech and to the free press. Such provisions give rise to the letter from James Pettit in which he freely states his opinions, which have consequences for us all. This is good. All citizens would be wise to encourage open expr...
Editor, Montana’s Senate District 6 has an important election in the June 5 primary. The most qualified of the three candidates is incumbent Sen. Carmine Mowbray. I endorse her election for several reasons. Carmine has been a successful business-person. The Mowbrays started their own printing and pu...
