A "counter-boycott" encouraged by pro-rapists for South Dakota
seems like the outside agitators who hijacked the state legislature there are trying real hard to prop up their interference. . :

Meanwhile, some very interesting LTTE's in the Rapid City Journal - people are NOT happy with this decision:

1. Did you see this part in your first link?
"Meanwhile, one abortion-rights Californian has taken a novel and opposite tack: Instead of bypassing South Dakota, Jack Mingo suggested — only half-jokingly, we think — that abortion-rights folks spend a few weeks in South Dakota. Or at least long enough to register to vote.

Citing a 2004 Minnesota Public Radio story on 'RV voters', Mingo noted that the South Dakota Legislature created a loophole in voter registration laws to allow snowbirds and people who live in recreational vehicles — presumably Republicans — to vote in South Dakota while living elsewhere.

'It’s a law apparently designed to help the Republicans, but we can make it blow up in their faces,' Mingo said. He figures 90,000 people could turn South Dakota into a blue state."

5. So does that mean I could do an absentee in GA while hanging
out with some DUers in a camper in SD and vote there 2.

Fucking-A I'm so Into that shit.

We should do a caravan up there. We should start reserving up all the camper spaces first.

Then Fill up the campers with sleeping bags and such. Some people fly in and we have vans picking people up @ airports. Then the next day vote and fly the fuck home.

8. I'm guessing that it wouldn't be legal to vote in both places.
I wouldn't suggest trying it.

9. I'd do that. . .I don't have a camper but I do have a tent
and I'd give up voting in Illinois for one election cycle just to help South Dakotans take back their right to govern themselves outside of the Taliban authority!

12. ROTFLMAO ! ! !
The funniest thang about it is that he really is Right On. . .those people would be spinnin' that governor's head out the door so fast to pass abortion legislation after a night like that. . .cuz we all know it would be the proper Republican ladies who would want to find out what it's really like to be with a Man. . .

4. Wow, those LTTE's are something!
Living in a backwards, red state myself, I always like to point out how not everyone in those states is clueless or stupid.

6. or without humor!
Some of them are damned funny as well.

"Re: Derek Darter (March 1 letter), if life begins at conception, can I retire nine months earlier? And remember, if life begins at conception, I probably can! Yeaaaay.

We do need ejaculation permits! Let's save those swimmers! All you Saturday Night cowboys? Forget it. Not without a permit!"

10. I like that one too. . .
I think someone should file a damned bill in the state legislature demanding that those swimmers be regulated in the interest of promoting and preserving a culture of life. One of my biggest arguments is that these men have no business regulating the use of someone else's body when they refuse to do anything about their own waste of egg fertilizer.

13. Here here :)
If they want to play biblical, we can just throw the book of deuteronomy at them. That would make the conservatives' heads explode. ;)
