Henry Red Cloud and as your Public Utility Commissioner
https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/redcloudforpuc
My name is Henry Red Cloud and as your Public Utility Commissioner, I will protect the people and land of this great state. Opportunities abound in South Dakota, but we need to embrace safer, cleaner energy technologies and find ways to make sure utility costs are fair for everyone. We have been given an abundance of sun and wind so let's use them to create good paying jobs and build a thriving economy.
Your caring and support is greatly appreciated!

Just got this from Henry Red Cloud’s campaign manager, Richard Fox. He always includes a nice little note to me.
I hope you are doing well this fine Wednesday night, Tracy.
Fueling the Solar Train to Standing Rock
Henry Red Cloud is the Democratic Party's candidate for the Public Utilities Commission and a long-time advocate for renewable energy
He also is a great believer in Democracy. He says, "Democracy is messy and should be. People with different interests argue and fight over which way they want their state and the country to go. As long as that struggle is without violence, I strongly support people getting out and making their opinions known".
This is particularly important in light of the recent Water Protector camps that have sprung up lately in opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Henry says he "believes the folks in the camps have a constitutional right to be there and voice their opinion and protect the water, their sacred sites and the very lives of their children"
The recent ruling by the US Army Corps of Engineers set the stage for protests to continue indefinitely, when they issued a Special Use Permit for the protesters to legally camp on the federal land near Lake Oahe.
Those camps are now setting up for people to stay there all winter and being North Dakota it is apt to be getting pretty cold there. In response, Henry has brought together some of the best renewable energy experts in the region to help the camp with their electric power and heating needs.
"I am lending the camp two Mobile Solar Power Stations, that we use in training classes at the Red Cloud Renewable Energy Center and we'll be doing workshops at the camps so people have a better understanding of how solar power works."
The Power Stations will bolster the Camp's radio station's outreach, as well as provide electricity for the construction that needs to happen to better winterize the camps.
Henry is also raising funds for five Off-Grid Solar Furnaces that will be used to keep people warm during the daylight hours.
I have built more than 1,000 of these solar furnaces and they are the best bang for the buck you can get in renewable energy today. The first one has already been funded and will go on the the kid's school at the camp. The second one will be used to keep warm a temporary ceremonial and prayer structure and the remaining three will be used to heat community gathering areas."
The Red Cloud family is famous for being creative and courageous leaders. Henry is a fifth generation direct descendant of Chief Red Cloud (Mahpiya Luta), the great Lakota leader and military genius, who was one of the most well known and photographed Native Americans in history.
Henry was recently honored when Maypiya Luta's ceremonial pipe from the 1868 Laramie Treaty was brought to the Cannon Ball camp and he led the Red Cloud delegation into the Council Tipi. Following the ceremony and discussions, Henry spoke on behalf of Mahpiya Luta to the many hundreds of people who had gathered near the Council Tipi. He spoke about the need for unity to protect Mother Earth, but also the necessity of always acting in a peaceful non-violent manner. He also talked about the need to take political action, which includes voting in the upcoming election.
He emphatically made his point - We can't change the past, but we can change the future!
Afterwards, Henry talked specifically about his campaign to become part of the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission.
"The Public Utilities Commission has been approving pipelines without much concern for South Dakota's farmers, ranchers, tribes and us regular citizens. The Dakota Access Pipeline should have never been approved."
The PUC approves or disapproves many aspects relating to the permitting of pipelines among its energy related duties. The current head of the PUC, Chris Nelson, led the effort to get the Dakota Access Pipeline approved despite much negative testimony and many objections.
Chris recently told the Capital Journal, “In order to do this job you have to love reading,” Henry has a different view on what the position really needs. Chris says he likes to read, but what is he reading? Hundreds of briefs provided by the oil companies. I can't imagine why he always thinks what they propose is just fine and totally in alignment with the law. I suggest he spend more time actually talking to South Dakota's farmers, ranchers, tribes and us ordinary people who object to these terrible pipelines and the price we have to pay, so rich people can get richer. We deserve better Chris. Time for you to go home.
Red Cloud wants to see a significant investment in renewable energy infrastructure and education. He knows that South Dakota has huge solar and wind resources and could become the renewable energy state if there was a major investment in teaching people about solar and wind power and how to install and maintain the equipment.
Henry states: "Many of the current oil workers could find much better, healthier jobs in this newer, safer, energy approach and we need to provide them with the necessary training and transition help."
Henry has a long history in working with and teaching about renewable energy including running his business, Lakota Solar Enterprises and co-managing the Red Cloud Renewable Energy Center.
"I have trained many of our youth and veterans, both men and women, about renewable energy and how to live a more sustainable life. In learning to work with the sun and wind, we find a good path forward and a healthier one too that is a new way that honors the old way."
You can donate to Henry Red Cloud and other great candidates in North and South Dakota below. How do I find out about them? Well, they are all supporters of 90for90, a voter registration movement started to honor Dr. William Reid, the first black man elected to the VA Assembly since Reconstruction. Dr. Reid was registering voters back when there were poll taxes and literacy tests.
My interest in politics was refueled by the Republican voter suppression program 0for0, or at least this is the plan I believe they are attempting to put in action. Supporting voter registration is my litmus test for a candidate, so 90for90 is the first place I look.

Support for frontline warriors
Since April myself, Wiyaka Eagleman, and Happi American Horse, have been living in Standing Rock, ND and tending to the fire at Sacred Stone Camp. We will continue to protect what is sacred to us: the water, land and future generations! With winter coming, we'll face more struggles and need your help! Your support will not only help us, but others as well as we protect land and water from the destructive Dakota Access Pipeline. We have been here since day-1 holding down the camp and providing guidance to visitors who come to support. In order to not put strain on the resources going to the camp for community use, we have put together this gofundme to ask for support on some things we need personally like winter boots, clothing, tools for building warm spaces for others, a flat bed truck to haul wood in, and more. If you're able to provide anything, even if it's a small amount, it will go a very long way for us in being able to provide for our community. Pilamaye..

This week Henry Red Cloud, the Democratic Party’s candidate for the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission, travels to Cannon Ball, North Dakota to show his support for the people of Standing Rock and their allies in their opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline.
So just what do the growing public protests, the great-great grandson of Chief Red Cloud, and South Dakota’s Public Utilities Commission have to do with each other?
Red Cloud puts it this way:
“People are uniting against the Dakota Access Pipeline because it is dangerous to people, their land and certainly for our irreplaceable water. Farmers, ranchers, tribal members and just regular citizens hear almost every day about another oil spill or pipeline bursting. We hear from their own engineers that the work they are doing is hurried. We can’t allow them to put a pipeline under the Missouri River.”
What many people do not realize, says Red Cloud, is that the Public Utilities Commission has an ongoing and important say in the pipeline’s construction. The Commission is ultimately responsible for approving or rejecting many of the steps needed for pipelines to pass through South Dakota, and for other new energy projects.
The solar entrepreneur and recipient of international and national awards for his championing of renewable energy hopes to be elected to one of the three seats on the PUC. His goal is to represent South Dakotans who are concerned about the burgeoning network of pipelines and the resulting oil spills.
“We simply have to stop accepting and approving poorly planned and disastrous projects like this,” he says.
Red Cloud says he will be a voice for those South Dakotans who are looking forward to a new era that will see South Dakota become a world class supplier of renewable energy.
“South Dakota has huge solar and wind resources and we can be a world leader in clean energy production,” says Red Cloud. “My vision is for South Dakota to transition away from oil and become the renewable energy state.”
The elections for the PUC are to be held on Tuesday, November 8th and voters will be able to vote in the state PUC election when they vote in the general federal election.
In the mean-time, Red Cloud will be visiting the water protectors at Standing Rock.
“I’ll be bringing up a load of food and water and a couple of solar lighting systems. I wish I could do more.”

Sacred Pipes not Sacrilegious Pipelines!
History is not something that happened a long time ago. It unfolds before us even to this day and this weekend will be a historic moment.
Wendell Yellow Bull Jr. is the keeper of Mahpiya Luta's Fort Laramie Treaty pipe. He will travel to the Cannon Ball camp this week as will Arvol Looking Horse, Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe.
They and other headsmen will meet and combine their smoke, their prayers and their wisdom in the Council Tipi that has been constructed at the camp.
Wendell has asked me to lead the pipe into the camp and to be the speaker in the Council Tipi on behalf of Mahpiya Luta's pipe and spirit.
I am humbled and greatly honored to be part of this historical meeting. I go with a good heart for Mother Earth, for her tears our water and for all the children who will come after us.
Let the Seven Council Fires burn bright and may we gather again as one Great Nation - Očhéthi Šakówiŋ
