The Best Government is that Which Governs Least.

We live in one of the most beautiful, and conservative, states in America. We must work diligently together to keep our freedoms, earn a living, raise a family, practice religion, and live our lives as we see fit.  If you agree with me, join us—we welcome you to the table, because in South Dakota—Under God, the People Rule!
