Having the mercy to do what's right

| July 10, 2025 12:00 AM

Although it’s been a while, Montana has a long history of having some great statesmen and women like Mike Mansfield, Jeannette Rankin and Pat Williams – just three of them.

Integrity, honesty and respect and closing a deal on a handshake, knowing it would be honored, has been our style.

We re-did our state Constitution in 1972 and it now strongly protects our right to privacy, including women’s health, and so much more. It was brilliantly put together by regular folks who simply cared to do a fair document.

Think what that would mean today if our Republicans in the Congress could have mercy and just do what is right and does not harm innocent people.
