I believe the gov needs to focus on what every citizen can benefit from instead of only a few. Sports stadiums are used by very few people when you consider how many people are in Sioux falls vs how many attend a sporting event. Lets stop worshiping stadiums and pet projects and learn how to save the money. When taxes go down, everyone benefits and the economy will prosper. When only a select few of the good ol' boys clubs get the benefits it kills the economy.

Speaking of credit card fees one of our most prominent non profits has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build multiple sports complexes all in the name of health care. Being a non profit who pays no income or property taxes you would expect that a ticket to watch a youth sports game would not cost $10? Worse yet is they don’t take cash so you must swipe your card and then find out they actually pulled $10.87 from your account! Any possibility these giving folks who pay large numbers of administrators six figure salaries for doing lord know’s what would have negotiated themselves a little kickback from each of those card swipes in return for banning cash transactions???

WE THE PEOPLE can stop this madness

Is anyone aware of a school board petition circulating that can be advertised to a Sioux Falls School District community Facebook page (3k + members)? Perhaps one hosted somewhere accessible to the wider public? There is interest in that community to sign.

Government spending is a rachet, it only moves in one direction - up! When will it end? Likely when the US as a political entity collapses. But, that could be many years in the future

I'm sure Larry was not aware of this. Few are:

the wall he was praying at was the old Roman fortress wall built on top of the temple after the Romans under General Titus destroyed the temple in 70 AD.

Kabbalistic demon LILITH, “the First Witch”, is also worshiped by “devout” Jews at the Antonia Fortress Wall. Jerusalem’s Antonia Fortress Wall was NOT part of the Second Temple. The REAL Wailing Wall was located near the Gihon Spring, about 1 km from the Antonia Fortress. The lewd ceremony “Davening” simulates copulation to encourage an “erotic union” of the female Kabbalistic demon Shekhinah with the male Kabbalistic demon Eyn Sof. Jews literally "hump" the wall signifying sex with the female demon. On another note, Jewish taldmudic tradition holds that Lilith was Adam's first wife.

The only thing I could recommend to South Dakotans is to really really read your Bible. In Proverbs , it is written, "with all thy getting, get understanding."

Remember, our Organic Documents:

1774 Articles of Association, an agreement between Great Britain and the Americans in the Northeast Territory to work together, while agreeing to define their own rules of commerce;

1776 Declaration of Independence, the Americans began declaring their Sovereignty, listing abuses of the British, let alone spelling out a list of resolutions to make peace, while defining themselves as Independent;

1777 Thomas Jefferson adopted his Draft Ordinance (precursor to '88 Ordinance) which was a set of rules related to planning, zoning, and defining future political states, as Americans contemporarily resided in the territory.

1777 Articles of Confederation, the United States of America was born September 4, 1777, creating the 13 original states that promised to work together, defend each other, protect each other, and act as one country.

1783 Peace Treaty of Paris, British, Monarch, Holy Roman Emperors agreed to acknowledge the Americans as their own Independent, Sovereign, Free Country.

Thanks to Jefferson's draft ordinance, Congress now adopts it formally into law, becoming a defining code of rules to create Organic Territories, to which "states" would be planned, zoned, defined.

1789 Constitution of the United States - the 13 States establish their full time, permanent government, with a full time Executive, Congress, and Court.

Today, I think beginning in 2009, a movement was created, when a Group of Americans met Illinois adopted the 14 Articles of Freedom, a new declaration, a list of abuses of the current government, while listing a new set of resolutions to abide by, to which repair the mistakes of the past 150 years since 1871.

Today, the America First Patriot Movement is a new Revolution to Take Back America, restoring our country back to our Organic Documents as established between 1770-1790.

Today, we are again defining what it means to be American, to Uphold Our Sovereignty, and to Restore Rules of Order as Prescribed by our Founders.

Between 1800-1825, we had the Jeffersonian Presidencies where we Established a America First Concept, while today, between 2017-2037, we are again establishing a American First Concept, by recreating Jeffersonian Presidencies.

Is it a move back to the far right, or is it a move back to our Original Documents?

Listen to this Song - Take Back America!
