Rosendale defends second amendment

Editor, As a proud gun owner and sportsman, the most important thing I consider before supporting any candidate is if I can count on them to defend our Second Amendment rights from the barrage of attacks from the socialist-left and their allies in the media.  Matt Rosendale is a fellow gun owner, a hunter and a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. For him, this issue is personal. Matt will oppose any attempt to confiscate guns or add restrictions of any kind on the sale or use of a firearm.  Matt believes that there is no ambiguity in: “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” That’s why Matt is the only candi...


Rosendale stands for life

Editor, It is critical that our lone representative in Congress be a voice for the voiceless and stand up for the most vulnerable in our society — especially the unborn. Matt Rosendale has a long track record of being unabashedly pro-life. In the Montana legislature, he was a vocal advocate for p...


Law enforcement needs to be included

Editor,  To the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal Council: After reading page two of the June 25 edition of the Char-Koosta News that explains how the COVID-19 relief funds allocated to our tribe are going to be distributed, I became quite alarmed as an elder of the tribe.  I was shocke...

On June 1, there were 461 cases of the virus, and on June 14, there were 600 cases of the coronavirus in Montana. That was over a two-week time span. You can see how t...


Keep an eye on the ball

Editor,  It seems to be politically popular to throw an adolescent finger pointing tantrum over China’s truly deceitful role in the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. But, the fact of the matter is the demon is long out of the bottle.  So, what is all the current China bashing hone...


Acronyms influence the world

Editor,  Acronyms have become a universal language these days. Let’s take the latest one affecting millions-and-millions in the field of medicine, COVID. It stands for Corona Virus Disease.  Our MOA (Master Of Analyses) Donald Trump, knew all about the various COVIDs over the years, sta...


Events get canceled

Editor, Due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 situation with its many restrictions and the serious economical impact that many of our sponsors in the business community have experienced, Polson Fairgrounds Inc. Board of Directors canceled our 30th annual fundraising event, “Cowboy Ball.” The ...


Police reform could include mental health services

Editor,        The term “police defunding” is a clever term to get the country’s attention. What it really means is the wisdom and necessity for looking squarely at “police reform.”  Take the issue of mental health for example. When a 911 call comes i...


An open challenge to Senator Steve Daines

Editor, As a resident of Montana and in particular, Lake County, I challenge you (Steve Daines) to come and visit with the residents and county commissioners prior to the upcoming election.  We’ve noticed your Congressional voting over the past three Congressional sessions has significantly ...
