We need to all come together as South Dakota citizens, landowners, sportsmen, business owners and state legislatures and call for a special session to be held in 2017. This session is in regards to the South Dakota lakes that are currently closed due to the new meandering water ruling that was recently passed by the Supreme Court. South Dakota citizens, small local businesses, sportsmen and landowners are suffering from this recent ruling and do not have time to wait until the next meeting in January 2018. We need to all come together and support the small communities, landowners and sportsmen so we can all enjoy South Dakota's natural resources. There are thousands of people who rely on these natural resources to attract people to these small communities and also for enjoyment with friends and families. It will be a pretty quiet year for these well saught fishing grounds that have been funded by the general public. There are two sides to this fence and we can all feel for them both. The main point is there is billions of dollars going to the state of South Dakota from both sides of the fence and something needs to be done immediately! Please sign this petition if you are in favor of an immediate response to this serious matter through a legislature special session in 2017.

thank you!
