Where Was Kristi Noem?

While 52 House members stood against Speaker Boehner, Noem voted with him.

The BILL would have continued funding for DHS for 3 weeks.  The BATTLE is over the Presidents immigration policies.

At the end of the day, the House did agree to a proposal that extends funding for 7 days.  That means we will know in 7 days rather than 21 days just how much farther down the road the can will be kicked.

The South Dakota Lt. Governor recently was quoted as having said, “Individually we are smart, but together we are brilliant”.

Watching Legislators at a state and national level seems to disprove that theory.
