At mySCGOP.com we are about EDUCATION. Education about how to get involved with the mechanics of the bi-annual Precinct ReOrg … and perhaps more importantly, education about “why” it is critical to GET INVOLVED as GRASSROOTS … and what exactly is going on with our elected officials.
It is not always simple to explain … NOTHING is as it seems in politics … and people (including legislators) will absolutely lie to your face.
As we teach, “Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.”
And YES … stop getting mad at the TV … and DO SOMETHING.
On Thursday morning we issued TWO “CALLS TO ACTION” … and today we have the preliminary RESULTS!!!
CALL TO ACTION #1. SC HOUSE “LOYALTY OATH”: The first call to action was to support liberty minded legislators in the SC House against a “loyalty oath” … or as we like to call it a “Blood Oath” to support EACH OTHER’S SECRETS as opposed to honoring their Constitutional Oaths … and commitment to #WeThePeople.
That issue has escalated, and SC House “Republican” Leadership has dug in, now apparently KICKING OUT the 20 +/- legislators that have refused to sign this “Blood Oath”. The matter is fast developing … so stay tuned for more as we think this matter may go NUCLEAR from both sides. #HoldTheLine Patriots!!!
CALL TO ACTION #2. Support the PACE Amendment in the SC Senate: Now this issue we know personally. It is what we do!!! It is our personal cause … and a GREAT example / Case Study for patriots to learn from. We can assure you that over the years we have seen just about everything … and WORSE!!!
And, the final result on Thursday was a twist.
Realize that “establishment” Republicans have opposed this from the beginning … not on the merits … but more on a personal level (they don’t like us because we speak truth to power – as Trey Gowdy taught us to do) … and worse, because it was not what the monied special interest want them to do. #FollowTheMoney!!!
So what happened???
Initially there has been three days of Senate Floor debate by Republican Senators Tom Davis, Shane Martin, Tom Corbin … and Democrat Senator Mike Fanning … and a few others. Then the Republican “establishment” came out in active vocal opposition on the floor of the Senate to this PACE Amendment (10A).
After about an HOUR of opposition … there was a “long” 5 minute recess (off camera) … and upon return ALL WAS GOOD???
Say what??? What happened in that “recess”??? We don’t know … but ultimately Senators have committed to passing the $100 Million PACE Scholarship Amendment next TUESDAY.
This is HUGE for Kids!!! This is GAME CHANGING for Kids!!! Watch the video:
Absolutely this will be TRANSFORMATIONAL and will give SC (if it passes the SC House and becomes law) literally the nations premiere school choice program. We will have gone from LAST … to FIRST … in one fell swoop.
Remember, “establishment” politicians listen to the monied special interest … not the grassroots advocates or the experts. Politicians generally just follow the money!!!
Specifically what is happening, as the Senator Majority Leader promised in the video above, PACE will be passed along with the ESA … all in ONE BILL (which is key) next Tuesday. We don’t like the ESA, but we will tag along with it as a temporary “compromise”.
We never support anything 100% government run (like the ESA) … but we do believe the end result will be fine as we are pretty confident the bad policy / nefarious / monied special interest ESA will die on it’s own either #1 an unconstitutional legal challenge … or #2 PACE will win in the free market as all the schools and parents will work with PACE when given an option.
Plus kids and families need help … so we can compromise for their sake (so long as we have a solution that won’t allow 100% government run ESAs to destroy our private schools too.
Ask yourself, what parent or school wants to work under a government run program … with government strings attached? As far as we know … NOBODY!!!
So, how did this happen???
First of all, “educated” SC Patriots all over South Carolina called, texted, and emailed their SC State Senator. Precinct Presidents, ECs, DELEGATES … and County Officers. Informed Citizens!!! By being involved in your local PRECINCT … especially with ReOrg … you have “street cred” when you call your legislators. They know, if they don’t listen … you know how the system works … and the JUNE PRIMARIES and their “re-election” is not that far away.
Not a threat … just a fact of life.
It was also not our intent to harass … but to educate legislators on the merits of the PACE Scholarship Amendment. Patriots also did not rollover at the first sign of push-back from their Senator.
Remember … be PROFESSIONAL, but be PERSISTANT!!!
Plus, it really is not complicated … the SC Republican Platform opposes BIG Government … and the Republican Platform supports Limited Government. Senators just needed a little reminder that they knowingly or unknowingly were pushing a 100% Government Run Private School Choice Program with the ESA … that was destined to fail.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT???: We shall see what develops over the weekend. After this bill is passed by the SC Senate, it will move over to the SC House.
The question everyone is asking … and we are waiting to have answered … was a “deal” cut to kill this somewhere else??? To blame someone else for it not passing??? Let’s hope not for the sake of the CHILDREN!!!
Time will tell … and we will TELL YOU!!! #LearnTheir Tricks!!!
Our good friend Lawrence Lantz has been sharing with you for months now on his GOOD NEWS FRIDAY video segment (filmed on Wednesday evenings, posted on Fridays) that there is an ongoing shift among Black Voters for President TRUMP.
Week after week after week after week Lawrence shared with us the ever growing list of Black Voters coming out for TRUMP. There seems to be an awakening in the Democratic Party base (as there has been in the Republican Party base) that the Party leadership is more interested in themselves and the monied special interest than their constituents. It has gotten so bad that even the leftwing mainstream media has been appearing in a panic as of late (HERE, HERE& HERE.)
And as the articles point out … it is not just Black Voters, it is Hispanic Voters as well.
Recall that we have in fact been saying it from the beginning … this is not a battle between R vs D … or Left vs. Right … this is a battle between the Unitparty Leadership Elites in both Parties vs. We The People.

BLM (RI) Co-Founder Endorses TRUMP
Well, yesterday it kinda hit a new level. Mark Fisher, a co-founder of the Rhode Island affiliate of Black Lives Matter (Wikipedia Article HERE) appeared on FOX News and publicly endorsed President TRUMP (HERE). He even went further to accuse the Democrats of “racist” policies.
That is powerful.
Now granted, Mr. Fisher was only a co-founder of the Rhode Island affiliate … not the entire national organization … and he was only speaking for himself … and we are sure he will be rebuked, ostracized, and possible worse for speaking up. But it is indicative of the greater shift in Black Voters and others.
As the song goes … “We’re not going to take it … anymore!!!” (HERE)
Yes, it is going to be a really interesting election season.
Now this was back in February, but one of our supporters suggested yesterday that we share this again as we had never added an article online and he thought people (especially new followers since February) would like to know.
Basically on February 15, 2023, Nikki Haley officially launched her candidacy during a campaign event in Charleston, South Carolina.
