In South Dakota, a proposed amendment has been introduced that would require large state expenditures to receive 60% voter approval before going into effect — that’s right: 60% of the vote for South Dakotans to decide how their tax dollars are spent.
Sadly, amendments like these are nothing new… This is just the latest attack on direct democracy, and we won’t have it.
Extremist legislators and special interests are using ballot measures to deny the will of the people, and create red tape for the passage of popular, life-saving policies. We can’t let them win, team, but we need your support to fight off these attacks in more states across the country.
Thanks, team. We couldn’t do this vital work without you.
