Knowing what you government is doing … is a critical check on Democracy.

The SC Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), S.C. Code Ann. § 30-4-10 et seq., is the basis of good government. Knowing what you government is doing … behind closed doors … is a critical check on Democracy.

Below are some helpful resources as well as a sample FOIA request we are submitting today to the SC Department of Revenue as part of our School Choice advocacy.

If you have any suggestions or better resources, please let us know so that we can share it with others as we build out our FOIA tools.

FOIA FEES: FYI, legislators have exempted themselves from FOIA fees … so if an agency attempts to dissuade your FOIA request with a massive “fee”, ask your legislator if they will submit the FOIA request on your behalf.

Charlie Kirk: A South Carolina Take

Assassinated at 31.

Charlie Kirk
October 14th, 1993 – September 10th, 2025
WikiPedia: HERE

Assassinated at 31.

We are utterly shattered by the assassination and tragic loss of Charlie Kirk, a radiant and relentless voice in our movement. His passing tears at our hearts and leaves a void that echoes with grief.

Charlie was fatally shot on September 10, 2025, while speaking to thousands at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, during his American Comeback Tour. A single shot was fired from a nearby building, striking him as he sat at his trademark “Prove Me Wrong” table, engaging with students and attendees. Law enforcement has confirmed a manhunt is underway for the shooter, who fled after the attack.

In moments like this, it is easy to cast blame on the Democratic Party and the mainstream media, which have too often enabled the conditions for political violence in America. On a national level, they bear much responsibility.

But here in South Carolina, we must also confront the painful truth within our own ranks. Hatred and anger have taken root in the SCGOP as well. From the 2021 ReOrg FRAUD in Greenville, to the refusal to seat Pickens delegates at the 2025 SCGOP State Convention, and so much in between—these acts are desperate attempts, no different than what Democrats do nationally, to cling to perceived power and influence in our state.

We will not stand for it. Lies and hate will be called out, exposed, and rooted out. They have no place anywhere—not in our political community, not now, not ever, and certainly not in South Carolina.

Leaders in South Carolina must learn to truly lead. Too few do today. While true America First conservatives lead with courage, too many politicians, candidates, party officials, and activists choose instead to tolerate deception, to go along to get along. But know this: if you tolerate lies, you are part of the problem.

In the shadow of this fresh grief, we also pause to remember the enduring wound of September 11, 2001—a day that forever altered our nation’s sense of security and unity.

Charlie’s memory demands that we rise above, uniting in truth with an unwavering commitment to honor his legacy—not with bitterness, but with compassion, strength, and steadfast opposition to evil in all its forms, wherever it may arise.

Next Man Up.
