Hickey Changes Mind on Race Against Herseth Sandlin

All content on this site is created and/or selected and edited by an Independent conservative, Michael Woodring (and other authors as listed). While I am not against political parties per se, I find myself unwilling to ally with the current offerings on the grounds that they cause indigestion and other painful side effects.

I am deeply concerned that so much of the policy which is made here in the state and the country is not based on principle--unless one can call pragmatism and and overweening desire for increased governmental power principled. If one cannot believe that certain immutable laws undergird the very foundation of our country, then one discounts the sacrifice of those who launched this experiment in self-governance in the first place.

In my spare time, I am a technical writer based outside of Parker, South Dakota. Four young children and a remarkable wife keep me busy when I'm away from the keyboard.
