Zones & Election-Zones … A How To!!!
This is “real” GRASSROOTS!!!

Precinct lines, county lines, SC House, SC Senate, County Council, School Board, City Wards, Fire District, other election district lines, etc., etc., etc … NONE OF THESE LINES MATCH UP!
It is extremely frustrating (maybe by design) to “organize” a county of 151 precincts and hundreds of elected and appointed officials … much less the entire state of 2,261 precincts and thousands of elected officials … but we have found a way!!!
Big County Example:

Let’s use Greenville County since that is our home base.
ZONES:
Greenville, as the biggest county with a population of 547,950 people, has 151 precincts (a few counties have more precincts). It is like herding cats! 151 times 2 (EC & President) = 302 people!!! After two years as Chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) … I did not even know all our ECs & Presidents. Well, that is a problem!!!
So … we split the county up into 12 “Zones”. We wanted to do it by our 12 county council districts, but with the two Democrat districts totally gerrymandered … that was not going to work. So, we just divided the 151 precincts down into 12 rough GEOGRAPHIC ZONES.
It is not perfect … but that is OK as nothing is perfect and knowing that adjoining precincts and Zones are expected to work together anyhow helped. We had to start somewhere that included ALL of your county precincts, and this was it.
PRECINCT ELECTION-ZONES:
NEXT … and this is “THE FUN STUFF” as we call it … we set-up precinct Election-Zones based on election districts.
We obviously started with the most important target election districts … you know, the biggest RINOs and SC Republican Party Platform “covenant breakers” as our good friend & GCRP Legislative Chair Harrison Musselwhite likes to call them.
Below are just two examples for the Greenville County Council members that recently “broke covenant” and unnecessarily raised our property taxes (HERE & HERE).
CO-LEADERS / TEAMS:
FINALLY … we appointed Co-Leaders for each of these Election-Zones … a “TEAM” of motivated & SC Republican Platform believing individuals who can work together cooperatively (ie, no egos, etc.) and are looking to focus (or cross-focus) on their specific ZONE or ELECTION-ZONE (or both).
GROW, GROW, GROW!!!
The most refreshing thing in all of this is WE have motivated SC PATRIOTS all over Greenville & South Carolina that are making it happen … and more are coming in the door every day!!!
In Greenville County alone, our target is 10,000 ACTIVE members … and as crazy as that number seemed in the beginning … I think our people are going to make it happen!!!
God Bless America!!!

[NOTE: Greenville County Council Election-Zone 25 below is a Democrat district as indicated from the gerrymandered lines. Before it has been nearly impossible to organize these geographically dispersed precincts … but now we have a process that works. So, even though the Precinct Election-Zones are needed for RINOs … they are ideal for left leaning Democrats as well.]

Small County Example:

Now, small counties are a tiny bit different … so let’s look at Allendale County.
ZONE – singular:
Allendale, as South Carolina’s smallest county with a population of 7,579 people, only has 8 precincts. That is pretty manageable for a County Chair… so really the entire Allendale County Republican Party is “the Zone”.
PRECINCT ELECTION-ZONES:
But small counties are very different when it comes to the fun part … the Election-Zones.
Allendale for example has 5 County Council Districts, so presumable they will have 5 small Election-Zones for each district (unless elected countywide like some city wards, we do not know specifically for Allendale but are checking).
But, Allendale also has a single SC House member … and that Allendale SC House Rep. also represents Barnwell & Orangeburg Counties. So, guess what, our Allendale friends get to work cooperatively with precincts from two other counties as this Precinct Election-Zone crosses county lines!!! Fun!!!
Likewise, Allendale has TWO SC State Senators. One representing Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, Colleton, Hampton & Orangeburg Counties … and the other representing Allendale, Beaufort, Charleston, Colleton, Hampton & Jasper Counties. That is a total of NINE COUNTIES. It seems intimidating … but it is actually exciting as you get to work with a larger geographic area (which you will soon see, becomes important … stay tuned!).
Yes … the big counties do have some Election-Zones that cross our county line as well … so here in Greenville we get to have fun working with our friends in Pickens, Anderson, Laurens, Union & Spartanburg as well … but this is much more important in the small counties, so we wanted to introduce you to this concept.

Exciting Times!
So my friends, all of this is a lot of work to put together. We have some fantastic people working on this here in Greenville and I know others around South Carolina that are doing fantastic things locally themselves. We can ALL contribute to the cause … and we can ALL learn from each other.
This is what America is all about!!!
This is “real” GRASSROOTS!!!
So, even though it is hard work … once it is done, it is DONE (at least until the 2030 census & redistricting).
SO … GET BUSY ORGANIZING MY FRIENDS!!!

We are not talking the late musician Tom Petty (HERE) or the famous NASCAR driver Richard Petty (HERE) … but we are talking the petty little people out there in politics that do dirty little things just for spite.
PETTY DEFINED: The Urban Dictionary defines petty as “a person who is purposefully childish with the intent of eliciting a reaction,” or “someone who does something in an attempt to hurt another person but really makes themselves look stupid.”
Petty Email Tricks
There are two nasty “political” email tricks we have noticed over the years that are hard to believe, but actually happen all the time.
(#1) Unsubscribing others from emails: First off, we have people contact us all the time saying they no longer receive our emails and asking what happened. We will check and the system will say they unsubscribed.
But the person never unsubscribed … so what happened?
Generally the person has forwarded our email to others in their precinct … and one of those people (a RINO) marked the “unsubscribe” button at the bottom of the email footer.
Maybe by mistake … but most people know what they are doing, and they are doing it on purpose and to be nasty and petty.
SIMPLE SOLUTION … before you forward emails, remove the “unsubscribe” links from the footer of the email. Just highlight the links and hit delete … especially if you are forwarding the email to RINOs. 😉 It is easy.

(#2) Marking valid emails as “SPAM”: This petty little email trick is a classic.
As you may know, the more people that mark an email as “SPAM”, the more likely the big email providers (Google, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.) with automatically send those emails to “JUNK”.
Folks that don’t want others to see / read our emails (yes, RINOs again) will mark them as “SPAM” on purpose … and we have seen many an experienced political operative, and even politicians, mark our emails as SPAM.
We even had one person this month sign-up for our email (“shawn.m.miller@outlook.com“) … using an obvious fake name (“Jim LaHounae”) … and when they opened their first email from us (ironically a mySCGOP Happy Sunday email), they marked it as SPAM.
Really nasty right?!?!? Especially given the Sunday message … but this is what these petty & envious people do.
When folks are scared others will hear your message and learn … petty political people will do everything they can to silence your voice. Granted anyone could have signed up “shawn.m.miller@outlook.com” … but only the one person with that email address could have marked it as “SPAM”. Not nice.
LearnTheirTRICKS!!!

DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE: As the saying goes … “it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness”.
Translation: if you’re not happy, do something about it … and that doesn’t mean go out and be petty and nasty to other people living their mission or dream … it means to go out an build something positive and good yourself.
Remember, “envy” is one of the seven deadly sins.
DontBePETTY!!!

Education
“Local” Derangement Syndrome
What do you do when someone you KNOW PERSONALLY exhibits the traits of derangement syndrome?

TRUMP Derangement Syndrome (TDS) (HERE) … we have all heard of it … pulled our hair out over it … and for those of us that like to get into the details and use critical thinking skills, we feel like it is utter insanity!!!!
Yes, we now know not to (generally) trust the mainstream media … and we know to ignore the “crazies” like the screaming lady pictured above who is now the posterchild for TDS … but what do you do when someone you KNOW PERSONALLY exhibits the exact same traits of derangement syndrome?
What do you do when a fellow County Executive Committeeman (EC) starts saying things that are objectively and provably FALSE?
What do you do when someone you have to work with personally won’t listen to ANY REASON whatsoever? Won’t meet and “talk”? Won’t open their email or look at a single document?
And worst of all … what do you do when “others” believe that person and act / vote based on what that person says?
It is a real quandary and frankly we believe this local “derangement syndrome” is ripping our communities and our Country apart … and is certainly rampant here in South Carolina and within the SCGOP and local County GOPs.
LOCAL DERANGEMENT SYNDROME:
The “Sauna Meeting” (HERE, HERE & HERE) is going to go down in SCGOP history as the perfect learning example of what is going on with this derangement syndrome that has seeped down into local politics.
The example is extreme in that you have an otherwise reasonable appearing person (Jeff Magg) claiming the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) does not have a required “budget” … but that same person is the one who created the budget (as the elected Treasurer at the time), called it a budget, presented the budget for passage to the GCRP EC Body (on video 2/7/2022), and voted for the budget at least twice.
Say what?!?!?
And worse … this same person (Jeff Magg), a local Greenville Precinct EC and the former GCRP Treasurer … led a group of other individuals to call an “emergency” Special Meeting with less than 48 hours notice over the issue (that the Budget he prepared & presented in 2022, now never existed) … and other people actually believed him.
And he wasn’t alone … a local attorney and former GCRP Chairman from the 1990s (Stephen Brown, Esq.) supported Jeff Magg, egged him on, and helped orchestrate the entire “Sauna Meeting” debacle. It is bizarre … so folks need to ask themselves, “what is really going on?”
[NOTE: Some people have issues … like the TDS posterchild lady above … while others, for their own personal and political motives, are purposefully stoking derangement syndrome in uninformed individuals – and those people need to be EXPOSED!!! This selfish mental manipulation (HERE, HERE & HERE) is what we want everyone to learn to identify … and we must if we want to Save South Carolina & Save America.]

JUST THE FACTS:
February 3rd, 2023: The GCRP Executive Board, including Jeff Magg & Stephen Brown, met at the GCRP HQ and both voted in favor (7-1) to approve the 2022 Budget & $1,250 Lease Terms.
Feb. 6, 2022: Jeff Magg submits Budget to Chairman Davis.
Feb. 7, 2022: Jeff Magg (as Treasurer) presents Budget to the full GCRP EC Body.
March 1, 2022: Jeff Magg quits as GCRP Treasurer after asked to prepare appropriate financial statements.
March 7, 2022: GCRP EC Body UNANIMOUSLY (less 1) passes 2022 Budget and Lease.
Jan. 31, 2023: GCRP EC Body renews exact same Budget for 2023.
September 14th, 2023: Jeff Magg leads a less than 48 hour notice emergency “Special Meeting” and state to the GCRP EC Body that:
- He has never seen a Budget (even though Jeff Magg prepared the Budget and presented it to the GCRP EC Body when he was Treasurer).
- GCRP does not have a Budget (even though Jeff Magg voted to approve the Budget and lease terms at least twice).
- GCRP did not have access to HQ until mid-March 2022 so we should not have paid rent starting 1/1/2022, even though the GCRP had full 24/7 access starting 12/15/2021 and had numerous events at the building (and Jeff Magg personally attended such events / meetings).

FEEDBACK: You always have to check … “are we the crazy ones?” WE don’t think their side ever asks themselves that question, but we do, and we think that is what will keep us on the path of TRUTH.
But give us your feedback? What do you see happening locally with these deranged actions by some? We have heard all sorts of reasons from psychopathy liars, to the effects of the COVID vaccine (or shedding for those who are not vaccinated) … up to demon possessed. We don’t know, but send us your thoughts at team@mySCGOP.com.
If we do not fix this … and get people “talking” to one another … will it ever end?
#NeverGiveUP!!!

You may have seen this image before, but it is an exceptional personal exercise to imagine yourself in 1936 Germany and ask yourself … “what would I have done?”
Help Them?
Fight Them?
Or just sit on the couch?
It should have been clear then, but when everyone around you is doing one thing, and you want to put food on your table, it is hard to stand up and do the obvious right thing.
Although the identity of this man is not truly known, he is believed to be August Landmesser (HERE). Landmesser run afoul of the German Nazi Party over his unlawful relationship with Irma Eckler, a Jewish woman. Unlawful for “dishonoring the race”, specifically “racial infamy,” under the 1935 Nuremberg Laws (HERE).
Yes … that was just 88 years ago.
Different Times?
Some will say we live in different times … that things are more advanced now … more civilized. But look around you, is it different today? Has human nature changed that much since then? It hasn’t changed in two thousands years … and we don’t think it has changed much in the last 88 years either.
SCHOOL CHOICE: Our personal cause that dragged us into this political mess is simple … “real” school choice for K-12 children with special needs. We did not seek it out, we fell into it by chance. But then we saw obvious corruption, all over money & control, that put children last. It was being perpetrated by “leaders” … by elected officials & conservative think tanks … all for the financial benefit of the monied special interest … and their personal paychecks. (HERE, HERE & HERE) We had to stand up and fight it!!!
But guess what … A LOT of “good” folks just sat on the couch, or worse, helped them … and many still are to this day!!!
No, it is not just school choice … it is EVERYWHERE!!! It is all the issues you care about … and the corruption exists locally, at the state level … and in Washington, DC. Whatever you are fighting for … others going along to get along is likely your biggest enemy … like in 1936 Germany.
BE THIS GUY!!!
Consider what you WILL do when presented with the situation … because it is TODAY!!!
Get involved … #BeThisGUY!!!
