1. What is she going to run for? having a fundraiser with Sen Thune last year and Sen Rounds this year?

2. No kidding. Look at that list.

   1. Speaker? Majority leader? State Senate?

      I don’t think she has statewide ambition.

3. Governor?

4. A very strong list, I agree. That promises to be a tremendous event. I would not lightly opt run against Rep. Peterson. She has party support & she campaigns hard. Conservatives love her tireless work on intellectual diversity, homeschooling, and other issues.

   1. If her husband didn’t run Lutheran social services would help

      1. Good thing he doesn’t

      2. Tapio must be upset. No wonder he isn’t cohosting.

5. News to me. Are you sure? I’ll be the 1st to admit there’s a TON I don’t know, but I’d never heard that. Internet bull?

   The Petersons seem like good people and committed conservatives. We had good, long talks at/ after the 2018 state convention & I came away impressed.

   1. Rep. Peterson’s husband Bill never ran LSS. Betty Oldenkamp has been their Executive Director for over a decade. He did work for them doing fundraising for a few years but he left LSS over a year ago.

      1. You sound informed, how long did he work for LSS ? The problems with LSS didn’t start in the past year.

         1. . I was noticing problems with LSS in the late 90s. They were just bringing people into Sioux Falls and dumping them. One woman from Western Africa had been sponsored by them and complained “nobody over there speaks English and when they can’t understand you they call you stupid.”
            The troubles with LSS go way way back

6. While one may disagree with LSS’s activities with regard to aiding legal immigrants and political refugees in our community, one should also remember all the other things they do like credit counseling, mental health counseling, adolescent social development ala big brothers big sisters, foster care, and a host of other services. We are Republicans and depend on non-profits like LSS to do the work of assisting the less fortunate.

   1. Troy,

      There are other organizations that can do that.

      Wouldn’t it be more of a benefit to these people to help them save their own Country like our forefathers did.

      I watched tonight that only about 30% of the population in the Revolutionary war participated.

      That being said, people in London can’t carry pepper spray.

      The Democrats in South Dakota don’t believe you should be able to defend yourself.

      1. Your forefathers likely came from a different country as well… go back to your home country.

         1. They came here legally and did not come as refugees.

            So your comment is a failure.

7. While I don’t agree with all LSS does, they do what they do. And much of it is good and most has nothing to do with legal immigrants or refugees.

   And who are these organizations who “can do that” because I don’t see them stepping up like LSS does.

   BTW, my forefathers left their old home country and came here to build their new country which is our country. That is also true of your forefathers, unless of course you are an Indian.

8. I’ll take Sue over Neil any day and twice on Sunday.
