Kinda like the guy who had a jar on his desk with the notice "please donate for the children of Israel." Sounds great, right? Only problem was that his last name was Israel and the proceeds went to his own kids!
Anyway, keep us posted, PP, on what this meeting is about.
I want to check it out when it comes to Pierre. Hardly any other groups are holding public meetings across the state to hear from citizens before the legislative session. It sounds like these meetings are a good thing to me.
Somebody has to tell Pierre to get their hands out of my wallet.
Americans for Prosperity is a taxpayer advocacy group in South Dakota that wants to see responsible spending in Pierre and throughout the state.
They are a grassroots orgnazation that has been active in South Dakota over the last year that is working with a bi-partisan group of activists and legislators to push for fiscal restraint.
The taxpayer trust tour they have organized sounds like a good thing to me. I want to go to their meeting in Pierre on Monday.
Anon 4:17 - you should come to the tour and tell them about it.
Who are the members of this "grassroots" group, and who are their employers?
They are funded by tobacco and are here to attack the tax increase on cigarettes period.
Prosperity has nothing to do with tobacco. Just another bunch of paid political con men/women
Something like how the JAIL amendment people gathered all the signatures on their petition. Sounded look, and no one looked past that, including me. I'm not so naive anymore with these groups.
They must have a grassroots support effort in place in order to mount a doorknocking campaign.

It looks like they are fiscal conservatives and want to make sure the state shows spending restraint and fiscal responsibility.
Secretary of States web site on campaign finance reports. about the second or third page at bottom. Also look at supplement. Lots a money from Tobacco.
Some grass roots movement there. oh yeah.
