Since 2019, The Standard remains independent and free of corporate or political sponsorship. Can you help us stay that way?

Because we don’t “belong” to anyone, The Standard, since 2019, remains free to speak the truth and express opinions about people and organizations in power with no regard to offending commercial or political sponsors. Tom Lawrence and I, along with our many contributors, are committed to using our blog’s platform as a forum for expressing ideas, news and opinions that matter, that make a difference and that need to be said. 

With your financial support, we can keep this effort going.

If you want to be part of the process that keeps The Standard publishing, you can do so easily and safely by hitting the PayPal button on your right.

If you’d rather send a check, make it out to The South Dakota Standard and mail it ℅ John Tsitrian   6144 Wildwood Drive  Rapid City, SD 57702.

Thanks to your support, we can maintain the independence that is at the heart of this endeavor.

With Tom Lawrence, I’m most appreciative.  John Tsitrian
