ezs note:  South Dakotans - hey, Dennis Daugaard is a nice guy.  However, he's receiving tons of e-mail asking him to pass this misguided bill.  You can make a difference by sending a polite e-mail  explaining how you, your family member, or your friend is going to jump through unnecessary hoops if this silly bill is passed, and he should veto this bill.  Thanks.
