Editor:

I keep getting missives from our Representative in the House of Congress, Steve Daines, about this or that “problem” with Obamacare and its “roll-out,” and what he thinks he intends to do about it, if only I’d support him, one way or the other - like with a contribution for his Senate campaign...

Does this now seemingly less-than-astute person not understand that there is no power vested in Congress, the Executive, or the Judiciary of the United States government by the US Constitution related to any thing relative to my health care, my life, my income, or any thing else to do with me as a citizen?

The US Constitution is a limiting document on the “general government”, the “state legislatures” and anyone else who seeks to be despotic. Read the 9th and 10th amendments, and then re-read the entire Constitution.

It is time for these idiots to defenestrate themselves! Before Putin, the Chinese or others do it for them.
