South Dakota Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson announced Tuesday that he will retire at the end of his term in 2014 as expected, opening up a prime pickup opportunity for Republicans in the politically red state.

Johnson, speaking at a press conference at the University of South Dakota, said he was looking forward to serving the remaining two years of his term and thanked his supporters.

U.S. Senator Tim Johnson’s announcement that he’ll retire after the 2014 election just made the Democrats’ job of holding their Senate majority a lot tougher.

Here is a video of South Dakota State Rep. Susan Wismer (D) referring to herself as a Socialist right on the House Floor. This really helps bring out the reality of the "Democratic" party and why they really should be called the "Democratic-Socialist" party.

South Dakota empowers school districts to arm teachers and other personnel with guns

South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard signed into law Friday a measure allowing the state's school districts to arm teachers and other personnel with guns, the first of its kind since the Connecticut school shooting.

Supporters say the so-called sentinels could help prevent tragedies such as December's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., in which 20 students and six teachers died. The law will go into effect July 1.

South Dakota legislation would make Gold & Silver legal tender!

Hi! I am writing my college supplemental essay to the Emory University in Atlanta, and I figured there are some pretty savvy people here on the dailypaul who can help me revise/proofread. There is only a 250 word max. Any Help is appreciated!!

You have State Governors NOT bow down to the Federal Government and keep the National Guard in the state where they reside!
The BIGGEST reason Ron Paul would want to be Governor...

Yes you heard the title right. Yesterday Ron Paul supporter Daniel Willard was issued 4 charges against him for making illegal robo calls. For not providing the website and address of the PAC that was responsible for the calls. And then to make things interesting just 15 minutes after he had been charged Willard sent out a press release announcing his intention to run for South Dakota state GOP chair. Here is a link to a local news outlet that is reporting on the story.

Today I received a letter from my senator, John Thune (R) SD, regarding my call in support of the Audit the Fed legislation. Let me know what you think.

"Dear Drew:
Thank you for contacting me about the Federal Reserve Bank. I appreciate hearing from you.

The Federal Reserve Bank, which conducts our nation's monetary policy, is considered an independent entity within the federal government. Although its day-to-day decisions do not need to be ratified by legislative or executive branch, it must follow the objectives of economic and financial policy established by Congress. You may be interested to know that the Government Accountability office (GAO) is currently able to audit many functions of the Federal Reserve. For the functions it is not able to audit, Congress maintains direct oversight authority through periodical reviews and may alter its responsibilities by statute. Furthermore, all excess funds derived from various policy actions and services performed by the Federal Reserve are returned to the United States Treasury.

Anyone here making a name for themselves in South Dakota? Was told the state economy is booming. Considering going out there to be a pipe welder. Any advice? Thanks in advance

I would like to take the time to personally thank everyone that took time and resources this year to help the Liberty candidates. Thanks to you Liberty is on the rise as we were able to gain several seats in the House Thomas Massie, Kerry Bentivolio, Ect. And a gain in the senate with Ted Cruz being elected. And many more candidates at the state and local levels. There is one candidate that I know personally that was elected. His name is Dan Kaiser, Dan was elected to the South Dakota state House in the 3rd legislative district.

LA Times: Russell Means, a former American Indian Movement activist who helped lead the 1973 uprising at Wounded Knee, reveled in stirring up attention and appeared in several Hollywood films, has died. He was 72.

Means died early Monday at his ranch in in Porcupine, S.D., Oglala Sioux Tribe spokeswoman Donna Solomon said.

Means, a Wanblee native who grew up in the San Francisco area, announced in August 2011 that he had developed inoperable throat cancer. He told The Associated Press he was forgoing mainstream medical treatments in favor of traditional American Indian remedies and alternative treatments away from his home on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
