A voice from the heartland with something to say

A while back I posted a guest editorial from Stephen Anderson.  His editorial took exception to negative letters he read in a magazine and he questioned the accusations that were being leveled at the Occupy movement.  Even though he wasn't exactly singing Occupy's praises he was at least being fair and honest about his observations.  A friend of mine has been in communication with Mr. Anderson and he shared with me the following video that Stephen sent to him.  The video records a speech Anderson gave at an event in St. Paul, Minnesota back in 2008.  The speech was very timely then and it is still worth listening to now.  Mr.  Anderson continues to be a fair and honest observer of society and his style is articulate and entertaining.  Forty-five minutes isn't too long to give to this thought provoking verbal presentation. 

Governor Daugaard: Accept Federal Medicaid Funds

Last year, Governor Dennis Daugaard announced that he would not accept
new federal dollars to expand the state's Medicaid program.

By rejecting these funds, over 40,000 South Dakotans will be uninsured.

Tell Governor Daugaard to reverse course and accept federal Medicaid
dollars and protect the over 40,000 South Dakotans that would benefit.

That's why I signed a petition to Governor Dennis Daugaard, which says:

"Over 13% of South Dakota residents don't have health insurance,
including many children.

By rejecting Medicaid expansion funds from the federal government, you
are hurting over 40,000 South Dakotans who would benefit from it.

Please reverse course and accept the federal Medicaid dollars and help
South Dakotans in need."
