Decorum & the Committee on Discipline

How do you maintain order and “decorum”?

Published

on

Decorum (defined): Decorum is behavior that people consider to be correct, polite, and respectable. “I was treated with decorum and respect throughout the meeting.” Synonyms: propriety, decency, etiquette.

Yes, political party meetings can get passionate and heated … and that is ok so long as everyone is being honest in their actions.

But it is an openly known and widely discussed political tactic to cause disruption in order to obstruct proceedings … particularly in our local county parties where the rules of discipline are not well defined.


Maintaining Decorum

So how do you handle it … how do you maintain order and “decorum”?

Consider, you don’t really see elected Members of the SC House of Representatives walking up to the the microphone and (falsely) calling other members liars … particularly if the statement is meant to mislead others less knowledgeable about the facts and circumstances being discussed. It is simply not allowed … the House has “RULES”.

THE RULES: Here in SC and the SC House of Representatives, the 2023 Rules of the House are 66 pages in length (HERE). It is a serious matter governing a deliberative body of 124 diverse members … and a lot of time and energy has been put into developing these Rules.

The word “decorum” is found 8 times in the Rules of the House. And the penalties for failure to maintain “decorum” can be extreme.


Roberts Rules

Committee on Discipline

Unfortunately, and perhaps by design, we do not have similar rules in the SCGOP State Rules … or in any of our County local rules (that we have been able to find).

But remember … when Party Rules do not cover a matter, we revert to Roberts Rules of Order (HERE) … and as advised to us from various County Party Leaders across SC … Roberts does have provisions for maintaining decorum … a process for Disciplinary Procedures (HERE).

And like in the SC House of Representatives and other deliberative bodies, the penalties for failure to maintain decorum under Roberts Rules of Order can be extreme:

  • Censure
  • Fine
  • Suspension
  • Expulsion

Mission

Yes, the minority in a deliberative body should be allowed to have a “voice” in the proceedings … but the minority opinion should not be allowed to overshadow the will (and mission) of the majority.

The mission of the SCGOP is simple … to promote the platform and ELECT candidates who will support it!

When has coming to a meeting and creating a scene elected a candidate? NEVER in our experience, yet people keep doing it.

If you are not on mission and you are purposefully obstructing … there are methods of discipline to address the obstruction …. and we suspect these matters will be a topic of conversation in your local party meetings soon.

As we learn more about the available disciplinary proceedings we will pass it along, but in the interim …

Pickens – Setting the Record Straight – A VIDEO RESPONSE

Bob Fetterly – PCRP Chair 2023-2025

Published

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!!!

The opposition hates it so much … and we temporarily had to move it to a local DENNY’S restaurant … because they actually filed a ZONING / Business Use violation as we were not authorized to have public meetings inside our HQ (outside is OK) as we are just formally permitted as a “business office” AND a PODCAST STUDIO!!! Yes, we are formally permitted at our HQ as a PodCast Studio … so guess what we can do!!!

We are now LIVESTREAMING the meeting not just for our local Greenville Friends … but also statewide (and worldwide as we have had members watch from Europe & even from a transatlantic cruise).
