IDAHO FALLS - Gubernatorial candidate Rex Rammell is disturbing some members of the LDS Faith.

He's dropping fliers off to Mormon Priesthood Holders and asking them to attend an "Elders only" meeting where he will discuss the Constitution.

Many believe he's blurring the line between religion and politics.

We've confirmed with the Red Lion Hotel that the meeting will be held January 19th at 7pm.

Online blogs mention a possible protest in response.

This week Gov. Otter signed a bill requiring Idaho to sue the federal government if Congress passes health care reform. What's your response to this?

  • It's great to see Idaho taking the lead on this. Someone has to stand up to what's happening in Washington.
  • We can't afford to pay for education in Idaho, but we're going to spend tax dollars to sue the feds? Ridiculous.
  • Not sure.
