Thune, Noem support internet tax

Another Noem bill is not expected to see the light of day.

Last May, the U.S. Senate passed S. 743, the Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013. The legislation passed the Senate by a bipartisan vote of 69 - 27, with South Dakota Senators Tim Johnson and John Thune voting in favor of the proposal. Sen. Johnson also serves as a cosponsor of the bill, which is now awaiting action in the House. A companion bill, H.R. 684, is cosponsored by South Dakota Congresswoman Kristi Noem.

Republican House seats are in trouble:

This survey also confirms what we have been tracking all year: Seniors are moving more solidly into the blue column. In this survey, Democratic challengers have a 4-point advantage on the named ballot against Republican incumbents. As a reminder, Democrats lost seniors nationally by a 21-point margin in 2010.

Wild Horses of Red Rock

After consulting with the Horse Shelter and an equine veterinarian Donnamarie and Larry have decided that the best way to protect ten free-roaming horses is to keep them in their care. Forage is scarce and the only water available is from wells on their property so the four mares that will foal very soon will be safe, well cared for and as wild as possible. About fifteen acres is fenced with horse-safe wire but the gate is always open so the herd can come and go as they please. The couple has been buying hay and so far that is working but the three stallions need to be gelded and that is expensive so we're asking you to pony up to help defray the cost.
