The SOS story is the South Dakota version of a 37 state effort to control our elections. This linked national article is the crux of what we are trying to highlight in the ongoing Gant-Gate story. Jason Gant as SOS is the conduit to make the strategy happen. Moderate Republicans and the Democratic Party don’t want to understand or admit it is happening. Their cute Facebook and other social media games make it appear they are active. Their efforts are nothing more than busy work with no election day results. The GOP moderates and Dems in general will lose, because nothing beats the organized hard work of long-term finding of voters, getting out their vote and fighting every SOS rule proposed to be implemented.
The ownership of our person, property and our right to vote are at stake. Keep in mind these 3 combined strategies the corporatists are using to dominate and own us. Everything else done by the opponents of the GOP (Greedy Old People) is window dressing.
Strategies:
1. lie and make it appear that they support prosperity for all Americans
2. make appeals to racism and dividing the white working class (union vs. non-union)
3. suppressing the vote
As we have discussed, the efforts are so broad based everything must be challenged. In the words of Pastor Martin Niemöller:
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
Fight everything, every day, in every way with everything in the arsenal of legal methods. The fight requires us the people to research everything, question everything, leave nothing to the better natures of ‘man’. The average person will only win by banding together as a movement to put the masters back into their place out of our lives.
Sounds good but you can’t explain it to dumb telemarketers & bank tellers. They either don’t vote or vote for who they’re told to vote for. There are better places with intelligent people who recognize they’re rights are compromised. Those of us who must eventually leave city limits can build Harrisburg into a city bigger & better than here.
Tell me to leave. I”ll not till I must but the time is near. Harrisburg built 2 grade schools this year. Sioux Falls built none and classes are overcrowded. Sounds like they have a competent superintendent & pay their subs a living wage.

Control of all local and state offices was started years ago under Rove as part of his plan for a perpetual majority. These voter ID laws are an extension of that. The dems would probably try it too, if they were better organized.
It does not matter who does it, what matters is how do we wake everyone up and stop it.
A good kick in the rear end might help.
