It is being reported in the national media the deeper ambitions of the Jason Gant financers, RSLC. For those who might need a refresher course here it is. In the election seasons prior to Jason’s ascension to the Secretary of State’s office in Pierre he was South Dakota’s leader of the Republican Senate Leadership Committee (RSLC). We here at SouthDaCola.com have discussed at length during 2012.  In these articles we showed how the RSLC was dumping major money into their chosen equally right wing candidates. These candidates are now running constitutional offices in Pierre and operating as circuit court judges. These people are in office only because Jason Gant and the RSLC gave them the money and cover to win.
Major media outlets in presenting the RSLC to the broader audience are still missing the power and funders behind the RSLC. The RSLC is not a Republican Party operation.  When we first look into it we thought so also. The power and money is the Koch Brothers and their arm: ALEC. Jason Gant and his ilk in the legislature are financed by out of state rich benefactors who care nothing of South Dakota or its people. They only care about power. The Kochs are accomplishing it through RedMap, The RSLC Redistricting Project.
The About page on the RedMap Project page tells us much:
What is redistricting and why does it matter?
At the conclusion of the 2010 national census, congressional seats will be reapportioned to each state. The states with a shrinking population will lose congressional seats and states with a population boom will gain seats. A massive effort to redraw state legislative and congressional lines will take place according to each state’s laws. The party controlling that effort controls the drawing of the maps – shaping the political landscape for the next 10 years. In 38 states, governors and state legislators play a determining role in the redistricting process.What is REDMAP?Â
REDMAP (REDistricting Majority Project) is a program of the RSLC dedicated to winning state legislative seats that will have a critical impact on congressional redistricting in 2011.How can REDMAP succeed?Â
REDMAP succeeds with your help. Only by staying up-to-date on the latest news, and engaging your friends and family about the importance of our effort, can we succeed.How can I help?Â
REDMAP is a grassroots effort. We are funded solely through contributions from commonsense conservatives throughout the country – and we rely on grassroots conservatives as our best means of alerting fellow conservatives across the country to our efforts.  Make a donation here today.
Look at the bravado in the above quote. RedMap is currently bragging about their successes in stealing the 2010 and 2012 elections from the citizens of their states. Read their bragging points now on line. Nowhere in the bragging does your voter rights ever get presented.
Senator Stan Adelstein of Rapid City has begun the process to clean up the SD Secretary of State office but the needs are much bigger. We have a nation of gerrymandered states including South Dakota. We currently have a one party state in South Dakota. South Dakota is a cheap state. We live in a state where politians are easily purchased. Look at the finance records now coming on-line at the SOS website. We will be researching these records and will be reporting our findings. With these records we will be updating our list of ALEC members who are working for their out of state masters. You will be seeing who has allowed their South Dakota principles compromised by the Koch Brothers money. Senator Stan needs our help to bring South Dakota fairness and sanity to Pierre. We at SouthDaCola.com intend to help him.
Doesn’t everybody think that Mr. Gant will serve out this term and run again, and then after serving that term run for higher office like Lt. Governor or Congress?
You should put that picture of Mr. Gant on some balloons for sale.
Gant’s political career is over. He would have never became SOS if there would have been a primary, he got elected because there is an ‘R’ behind his name. I will be surprised if he is the next SOS nominee. Of course all the ALEC members will prop him up.
They propped Homer Harding up back in ’94.

Too much conspiracy in this.
I wouldn’t mind hearing your take on the new GOP Chairman and his ties to no bid contracts. Does it matter or not?
As far as Gant goes the voters will have to make this decision to replace him. I hope they do. But it’s our job to find that replacement.
It is very interesting when facts are presented to establish the points in a discussion the fact giver is answered with ‘conspiracy’. The depths of the corruption to our system is so deep and so well planned, going back such a long period of time it does become hard to grasp the enormity.
This is not something just dreamed up or started 5 years ago. When Fred Koch decided to fund an effort actually begun during the 1910’s to further the racism of the old south of the 1800’s in order to keep the slave system operating, we have to consider the legal definition of conspiracy.
When I see the old pickup trucks running around South Dakota with Confederate flags flying I wonder where they would be if the South had won the 1860’s battles.
