Excellent excellent summary of what has and is happening in Pierre and South Dakota in general. The good news is that there ARE Patriot legislators who, by their life choices, have already proven that they are tone deaf to the siren song of the Powerful. As the saying goes, the best predictor or future performance is past behavior. The good citizens of South Dakota had the wisdom to elect them this past November. Let's continue to move forward with our Patriot movement and prepare to elect more in 2026. We need at least a half dozen more of these true Conservative Patriots to reach critical mass in Pierre, and oust the legislators who are merely entrenched lobbyists for the Establishment, Big Ed, Big Medicine, etc. There is HOPE!
Reading this with morning coffee. What is said permeates all the way to my spirit; warming and energizing this tired Patriot more than any coffee ever will. Bravo to Chris and all who lay it on the line. And in the great words of Mr. Patriot, “Dittos”. Press on, Patriots. Press on.

☝️Great advice, great wisdom Chris. Thank you for thoughtful article.
I love the article (as always). I am hoping people will think critically about the last section -- integrity. As we become more successful, there will be incredible pressure to compromise and to ignore unpleasant truths.
Chris, I actually like this story, it fits the greater plot to completely re-organize, restructure, and rebuild our contempered political state, one that we call the "People's Republic of South Dakota".
In fact, if you are interested further, you will learn more of the facts - our founding fathers had given us the tools, the mechanisms, and the know-with-all of rebuilding, and re-constructing our 'free-state' back in the image of ourselves.
1, they provided to us, the 1788 Northwest Ordinance, a carbon-copy version of Thomas Jefferson's 1777 Draft Ordinance that was utilized to plan, zone, and create the new political states (13 of them) in the Northeast Territory, to which was further used to create new territories like Dakota, that two new states - North and South Dakota were born from.
2, they also provided to us the 1776 Declaration of Independence, to which they gave to us the mechanisms of separating from the current government in power, thus, showing us how to respectively, with great vision, of ending, or dissolving our previous political connections.
3, those Americans to whom helped create South Dakota, provided to us Article 26 of our S.D Constitution, to which can be used to completely re-organize, re-structure, and rebuild our political state. Thus, showing us how to unite county-by-county, precinct-by-precinct, to meet in committee meetings, form county coalitions, to state conventions to choose and elect our future At-Large Office Holders - Governor, Lt. Governor, Auditor, Treasurer, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Public School and Land Commissioner, and finally our Public Utilities Commissioner (in that distinct order) all to operate the state government in our collective image as free people.
It first begins by putting in place our "Interim Government" working side by side with the current government.
It is funny you wrote this story today, and if you were to combine your story "A Brief Respite" in conjunction with my story "Rebuild America" together, we can help unite the Patriots from each of the 66 South Dakota Counties, the voters of each of the 689 Precincts to help Fix South Dakota.
Not to leave out the Democrats, but as we move forward, we must realize that each Precinct has no less than four persons - 1 Democrat man, 1 Democrat Woman, 1 Republican man, and 1 Republican woman, and if the Independents were to organize behind their own party, perhaps the Independent Statesmen Party, there may become 6 people per precinct.
That would give us an overall "Statewide Central Committee of Patriots" of 4,134 South Dakota American Citizens to whom could meet in a "Statewide Convention" to completely vote to rebuild our political state, perhaps changing our constitution, or replacing it with a new one that best represents who we are today, to putting in place a "state government" that works for us.
