The spirit of 1776 runs deep in the heart of South Dakota.
United. Strong. And True.
One more battle down. SB201 has been halted from becoming law of the land. Our private property rights and local governance live to see another day.
And it’s all thanks to the tireless grassroots efforts of so many. You all serve as a beacon of hope and an example to follow for other states who are seeing similar attacks on their private property.
Without question — South Dakota will lead the charge in this fight.
Now prepare for the big money to come into town with their smear campaigns and attack ads. We’ve already been told out-of-state interest groups are coming in to push back against the will of the citizens.
These entities know they need SB201 to lay the ground work for their Green New Deal pipeline, and to set a precedent to take more land for their 50+ years of pet projects they have planned across the state.
But I’m putting all my chips on the hard-working, honest grassroots people in my beloved home state. I would never bet against you. Congratulations on this incredible victory!
Next stop, the November ballot where we the people will borrow the Governor’s VETO branding iron on the egregious power grab that is SB201 (now officially referenced on the ballot as referred law 21), and stop it once and for all.
Green New Deal grifters — hear us loud and clear:
South Dakota may be open for business, but we are not for sale! We will not bend to this agenda. We will not give up our local control.
We recognize your scam for what it is, a mechanism for control and a reallocation of wealth using our tax dollars, and we aren’t going to go along with it.
We will fight to maintain control of our land, our homes, our backyards, our communities, and our futures in the beautiful state of South Dakota.
We stand together in unity. This issue knows no party line because the neighborly thing is to take care of each other, and that’s exactly what we intend to do.
Rob Skjonsberg, a founding member of a group called South Dakota Ag Alliance that champions itself as a moderator between carbon pipeline proponents and opponents, said if SB 201 goes away, so will all the protections for landowners included in it that lawmakers fought for...(and)...“Referred Law 21 will not stop carbon pipelines from being built, so we need the Landowner Bill of Rights to hold pipelines accountable and ensure that landowners and communities receive the advantages and protections they need.”
It seems to me that the passage of this referendum would stop the pipeline cold and that it would take another formal legislative action bucking the proponents of the referendum to get it started again. I might be wrong and therefore would like to know more about why Mr. Skjonsberg feels the pipeline which needs eminent domain powers would survive the passage of this referendum. Dakota Scout?
Good questions Dean! Would make a great follow up story.
"Green New Deal Grifters," says Amanda Radke. I wonder how many 'no" votes will be added by the "stick your finger in the eye of the gubmint's war on climate change that I don't believe in anyway" philosophy. May add lots of livestock people who don't realize the stakes here.
Patriotism. Passion. Purpose. 🇺🇸

This article didn’t mention what was already done to land owners by Summit , using eminent domain bullying tactics.
