In the last two weeks of the election, when Darrell Solberg’s ballot committee was paying to put Jennifer Lawrence on the air to promote Amendment W, less than one-tenth of one percent of the money to put J-Law on the air came from inside South Dakota.
In their year-end report filed this past week, Represent South Dakota disclosed that they raised $217,294.00, providing an itemized list of all donations. However, almost none of it came from inside the boundaries of the state:

Out of $217,294 in money taken in by the organization, Only $170 dollars came from South Dakotans. Four donors, to be specific.
$10 each from Wendy Luedke of Lead and Kari Hall of Madison. $50 came in from Lawrence Novotny of Brookings, and $100 from Paul Hasse of Vermillion. The rest? Check the list out for yourself.
With only .078% of the money coming from inside the state, that leaves 99.922% of the cash coming from out of state to support Solberg’s demand that our state constitution be changed.
Thankfully, the “Represent South Dakota” group with the very misleading name got shellacked 55% to 45% when the votes were tallied. At least giving hope to the idea that South Dakotans listen to their neighbors, and not left-coast liberals who tell them how the way they live their life is wrong.
The campaign finance report does show Solberg is left sitting on a kitty of $14,893.80 of other people’s money.
He might need it for the thank-you notes he has to send to Hollywood. They do appreciate their high-dollar gift baskets.
Why would I listen to a mindless, godless, self-absorbed Hollywood twit on anything? I hope that younger people aren’t getting too taken in by the socialist messages of Hollywood. Well, they may be as their professors are.
I agree. Why in the world would I give any heed to:
1). Uneducated people who make a living pretending to be someone else?
2). People whose subject matter expertise is throwing, caching, dribbling, and shooting round balls, didn’t attend classes or graduate, and have given no indication of ever reading an economics, history, civics book?
3). People who want to take my money to promote their political views when they don’t spend their own money in the cause.
Actors, jocks, and democrat activists are making themselves irrelevant.
Sounds like Trump.
The grape harvest must have really turned sour this season.
No effect on me. No idea who Jennifer Lawrence is.
Hopefully, that highly deceptive campaign is gone… once and forever.
