2. Democrats Announce Common Ground Initiative
Democratic candidates from East and West River gathered Thursday to announce a major initiative: Common Ground. All our legislative candidates have signed on to this plan, which is a common agenda to work together across the state and across the aisle in Pierre. Next year, Democratic legislators will submit legislation to help all South Dakotans:

• Your paycheck ? bigger  
• Your tax money ? used responsibly             
• Your family's future ? brighter

We have heard Republicans trying to discount the importance of this Democratic Party initative, in that Repubs have been talking about these things. The truth is, the current one-party rule in the State Legislature is not delivering. It's time for Democrats to lead a moderate majority of Dems, Independents and Republicans to accomplish things that the 2005-2006 Legislature could not--for all South Dakotans. More on the Common Ground initiative and the press conferences:
