Comments from Chairman, Jim Eschenbaum at the Save America Act Rally in Rapid City, March 21, 2026

Dakota GOP, Jim Eichenbaum, and he's going to come up and say a few words on behalf of the party. Thank you, Julie. Thank you everyone for being here. Thank you, Scott, for traveling to South Dakota and putting these two rallies on at my request. I have preached this so many times as state chairman. America is built on law and order and voting. This is what we do. We can disagree. There's plenty of disagreement in the Republican Party. I see it all the time. But we make motions, we make nominations, we have civil discussion. That is key. Civil discussion and then we vote. That is how we do things in America. The state back is about one citizen, one vote. Not everybody that gets handed a ballot, one citizen, one vote. This isn't racist. It's not about immigration. We have a policy for immigration. You become a citizen, you get to vote. Not everybody that gets handed a ballot gets to vote. Senator Thune has been working hard for us and I want to thank him for that. I was on the phone this morning with my contact, President Trump. President Trump's message is he wants this passed and Senator Thune needs to put his shoulder to the wheel and get it done. With that, thank you everybody for being here. The Save America Act is important to the future of our country.
