OUR OPINION ON HOW TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER:
Below, we share our opinion and how we will vote on these issues in November. We hope you’ll get informed on both sides of the issue and form your own opinions as well.
VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT E
This would change male pronouns in the Constitution to gender-neutral terms or titles. We feel that this isn’t necessary and that our Constitution is fine as is. Click on the title above to read the AG explanation.
VOTE YES ON AMENDMENT F
We like what former Rep. Deutsch had to say about this amendment: would allow our state legislature to establish work requirements for individuals who receive Medicaid benefits under the expanded Medicaid program and who are capable of working (i.e. able-bodied people). Click on the title above to read the AG explanation.
PROTECT THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO LIFE: NO ON AMENDMENT G
The 14th Constitutional Amendment states that we have a God-given right to life, and that it can not be taken away without our right to due process. Changing our State Constitution to allow pre-born babies to be killed without their right to due process would cause our Constitution to contradict our National Constitution. “A house divided against itself can not stand.” Click on the title above to learn more.
Vote NO On Amendment H

WHAT IS GOING ON IN SOUTH DAKOTA?
SD citizens are facing unprecedented attacks on their Constitutional rights by their very own elected officials. From election transparency to property rights, citizens are fighting on many fronts, only to realize that those we believed would represent us as they took an oath to do are the ones we are having to fight to protect our freedoms…in America, no less! Mick Baruth wrote two articles that dive into the details of all the battles we’re fighting, sharing details that the main stream media tends to keep from us.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
Many of us have been led to believe that there is only a small group of people that have concerns about the voting machines, when the fact is we are not…
IF YOU ONLY KNEW
We want to share with you just a handful of things we have learned over the last
couple years about stuff that is going on right here in our own backyard…

Who To Watch
BENNETT COUNTY OPEN MEETINGS FB GROUP
This group is managed by Judd Schomp, a heavily involved and concerned citizen in Bennett County who is also a former county commissioner. He works hard to expose what his local government is up to concerning their use and management of public funds, regardless of the pushback and attacks on him for doing so. He’s fearless and a fighter, which is the type of people we need these days to take back control of a government that’s gone off the rails. Click here to visit his Facebook page and here to visit his Youtube channel!
WE, THE PEOPLE, OF LAWRENCE COUNTY
WTP of Lawrence County is a small but mighty group, run by a fierce fighter who is a long-time local rancher who has had her share of dealing with the government. She supports her fellow citizens who fight as well, ran a campaign to primary a long standing state senator and gave him a serious run for his money, fights for clean elections at the local level, and more. She and this group are a great asset to Lawrence County. Click here to visit WTP of Lawrence’s FB page!
