$3 per Signature? 3 Initiated Measures. Who Could it be?

By -
Is this for currently circulated measures, or are these new ones we can expect on the Ballot? (From today's Rapid City Journal Classifieds) Enquiring minds want to know.

PP,
You could always call Larry at the number listed and ask him. For the price of a phone call you could keep your loyal readers informed.

Did you find this yourself, or was it a tip someone else pointed your way? I'll give you credit PP you really do eat and breath this stuff. I usually just throw the classifieds away.

There is a slogan in there someplace "SDWC we'll go to any lengths to find the hot SD political news for our readers." What wouldn't you do? Where do you draw the line? Would you look in a box? Would you look under a fox? Would you look for them Mr. PP? Would you take a cross state car ride with Frank Kloucek? I bet you could sweet talk some interesting stories out of him.

Thanks again for giving us political junkies another fix. Now here's a tip for you. I talked to alot of insiders on the abortion issue this past weekend at the McGovern Day event. I got the feeling no decision had yet been made on whether or not to refer the ban to a vote.

PP: Here are the three you are looking for. Repeal Video Lottery, Save our Summers. (SOS) school starting date and State Airplane Use.(South Dakota Taxpayers for Accountability.) Hopefully this will help you.

Well, guess I won't consider taking petitions around for a second job since I'm against all three. And I could have made a fortune too!

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...

Giebink for House.
Otherwise known as "What not to do in a fundraising letter."

(Click on picture to enlarge) This fundraising letter is making the rounds across South Dakota. This one is from Sioux Falls, but I've also seen a few people in Pierre who have gotten it (an attorney or two). I've got to say that without a doubt this is one of the worst fundraising letters I've run across this year. It's not just that it says "Dear friends." Bleaugh. It's not just that it doesn't ask for an amount and you can barely tell that it's a fundraising letter. It's an entire letter of poison prose. Here's the basic structure of the letter - you tell me if you'd send her some money on the basis of it's content: Introduction Complain Complain Complain Vote for me Oh, there's also an envelope enclosed for some vague purpose. Boy, that one just makes me want to get out the checkbook. I've said before that "you need to show the need and make the pitch." In this letter, there's no illustrating why we shoul...
