The above video is part of my February 8 speech to the Brown County Democratic Forum on all ten ballot issues. You can see the full speech unedited at SoDakLiberty. I’m also loading all ten video segments to my 2016 Ballot Measures page, where you can find more information on each initiative and referendum.
