Filmed September 13, 2023 (Wed.): GOOD NEWS FRIDAY with our good friend Lawrence Lantz is a hit … and it’s BACK today for another installment of “REAL” (as opposed to “Fake”) News Media from the grassroots front!!! Catch this grassroots summary of what is happening on the national political front as we go into the 2024 primary & election season.

We normally focus on local and state issues here at mySCGOP.news … a bottom up approach where YOU can really make a difference … but Lawrence gives us a “REAL” National News perspective of what is happening across America on the political front.

This weeks theme … “MAGA is on the raise … happy and victorious”!!!

Enjoy …

We have written about this before (HERE) … but it seems time for a reminder.

The #1 mistake we see new people and groups getting involved in the political process … the mistake we made ourselves (so not judging) … is people confuse “Power” with “Access”.

Access “feels” nice. You are listened to, you have a seat at the table, your phone calls are returned … they say nice things about you … but access really means you are “Never being perceived as a threat.” You may think you are friends with these people … but as President Truman said, if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog!

Power however is actually getting a politician to do what you want them to do … even if that is as simple as getting them to do what they said they would do on the campaign trial … or to simply follow the Republican Platform.

[NOTE: Another novice “misunderstanding” is thinking people / politicians / GOP officials would never just outright lie to your face. Trust no one!!! Verify everything!!! Good people don’t mind you asking questions. Know that these people lie constantly.] 

MAKING THE HARD “ASK”:  But wait until you ask a legislator to do something … the basics … like provide us with Medical Freedom, take PORN Books out of our libraries and schools … or God forbid you ask them to give us CLOSED PRIMARIES!!!  

Ask them specifically what they will do, and all of a sudden you will learn there are 1,000 “excuses” … and you will know the difference between “political access” and “political power”. 

We have seen it with SCHOOL CHOICE.  Kids are needlessly suffering, it is an easy fix, and even the most far right school choice supporters cower at the prospect of crossing the “establishment”.  They know the issue, yet they won’t speak up.  That is when you know their true character.

Once you ask for something objectively right to do, but against the power structure … you will find out real quick your “access” means nothing. We did!!!

Your phone calls will no longer be returned. You will finally understand that politicians only care about getting elected or re-elected … and you will learn that unless you have the ability to REPLACE THEM, what you want for “We The People” really won’t matter if what you ask for is “hard”.

On the wall at HQ:

“You have to be politically FEARED to be politically RESPECTED.”

As we stated the last time we discussed this topic … if you don’t see it yet, you will, so just give it time and keep asking questions.

But if you are still excited to get a “selfie” with Lindsey Graham, you are probably reading the wrong daily emails and might want to unsubscribe. 😉

RUN FOR OFFICE

It is time friends!!! We are seeing PATRIOTS all over South Carolina starting to announce campaigns against incumbents.

285 days until the June 11th, 2024 Primary Election Day.

If you are running for office, thinking about it, or just have some questions … let us know at team@mySCGOP.com.

It is going to be an exciting 2024 election season!!!

SCGOP Rule 16(c) is literally the very last Rule in the SCGOP Rule Book … and some folks miss it … so take this as a REMINDER!!!

If you are an OFFICER, DELEGATE or ALTERNATE … you are subject to IMMEDIATE DISMISSAL of your position if you (#1) endorse or (#2) financially support a candidate against a duly nominated Republican candidate.

DON’T DO IT!!!

Now it seems simple … as most of us are not running out there endorsing or donating to DEMOCRATS … although the establishment has been known to do that rather often.  HERE

But when that Republican nominee is a RINO … or worse … it is easy to say positive things about a write-in conservative candidate, or maybe a libertarian candidate … but DON’T DO IT!!!

As simple as it may seem, there is no clear definition of “endorse” or “financially support” … so expect that if you are a SC Patriot, the “establishment” if going to claim anything you do (including a Facebook Post “like”) for a candidate against the Republican Nominee as an “endorsement”.

Sooooo … as upset as you may be about a “weak” Republican Nominee … be careful and remember … DON’T DO IT!!!.  We need you in the America FIRST fight and the “establishment” will be looking for any technical misstep to kick you out of the GOP.

Remember … be careful … and DON’T DO IT!!!
