Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

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

Published

on

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.

Pickens – Setting the Record Straight – A VIDEO RESPONSE

Bob Fetterly – PCRP Chair 2023-2025

Published

on

YouTube (HERE) or Rumble (HERE)

We all know about the Drew McKissick shenanigans at the SCGOP State Convention back on May 3rd, 2025 with the “sneak attack” on the Pickens County Republican Party (PCRP) and the ultimate failure to seat the 24 (anti-DREW) PCRP State Delegates on fabricated charges. (mySCGOP.news, May 8th, 2025 – The Latest SCGOP FabricationHERE)

It really is dumbfounding … but in reality just another example in a long line of examples since the MAGA America First insurgency began in ReOrg 2021 with the outright fraud in Greenville (HERE & HERE).

Well, it is ongoing with the SCGOP … as they say, the gift that keeps giving insofar as exposing the hypocrisy and outright corruption withing the SCGOP State Leadership & State Executive Committee itself.

Specifically – the SCGOP State Executive Committee voted ( 32 to 18 ) at its quarterly meeting on June 7th, 2025, that the Pickens County Republican Party would be “suspended” until the next quarterly meeting in September. The PCRP elected leadership can no longer use the PCRP name, website, email system, bank account … even with important elections coming up in November … and the PCRP can’t meet … but somehow (even though they can’t meet?) they are supposed to come up with a “plan” to present to the SCGOP State Executive Committee in September on how to fix the fabricated problem.

Basically Pickens was “unorganized” on June 7th (without notice) – even though the SCGOP State Executive Committee did not have the 75% of the votes needed to unorganize PCRP under the “new” Rule 16(b) which was ramrodded through in a special called SCGOP convention in July 30th, 2022. 

The good news is the former PCRP Chair, Bob Fetterly (who did not run, nor had he planned to run, for re-election in 2025) has published a video response to the SCGOP charges that he arbitrarily capped the number of county delegates to 400 – a bizarre charge by the SCGOP. Bob did a great job laying out the details … and it now appears that “if” there were any “Rules Violations” … it was really the SCGOP itself that violated it’s own Rules. 

Take a look … we think you will enjoy the video response and details:

This is obviously going to be an ongoing story … so stay tuned!!!
