Senator Blake Curd has filed SJR 502, which would add South Dakota to the Convention of States movement already passed in 15 states!
SJR 502 will be heard in the Senate State Affairs Committee on Wednesday, February 24, at 10:00 a.m. CST. We need you to be there!
No matter what, we need you to contact your local state legislators and let them hear you want South Dakota to join the Convention of States effort! We need term limits on Congress, a balanced budget amendment, and further limits on the power, influence, and money of the federal government.
Would you consider attending a local legislative cracker barrel and asking the legislators in attendance to support SJR 5002 - Convention of States?
If you can not attend a legislative cracker barrel, please at least send a personal email to your legislator by clicking this link.

These are all that we have been made aware of but may not be inclusive. Take a look at your local chamber of commerce, and look for legislative cracker barrel times.
Please stay tuned as we move SJR 502, and consider making your voice heard in person, in Pierre on the 24th! We will need to again show up in Pierre and press the issue on why South Dakota needs to jump on board this very important initiative.
