As conservative grassroots patriots … we all hate fundraising. It is essentially all that SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick talks about, and the same goes for RNC Chairwoman Ronna “Romney” McDaniel. They see us all as nothing other than DOLLAR SIGNS … and that is why “real” conservative grassroots patriots hate fundraising … we simply do not want to be like Ronna or Drew!
Yes, we are right about it not “all” being about the money … but like it or not, we do need to LEARN how to fundraise. Think about it, what will we do when patriots take over the SCGOP or the RNC? Do you think those current “establishment” donors are going to stick around and keep giving? Are those “Major Donors” going to keep giving? I can assure you the vast majority will not. How do we expect to pay for the SCGOP headquarters in Columbia? Even if we have an unpaid Chairman … how are we going to pay for the office staff? What about travel, DATA, mailings, etc., etc., etc.? Do we expect the RNC to step in and help? Don’t make us laugh!
So, given all those rhetorical questions … are we supposed to “start” learning to fundraise once patriots take over the SCGOP?
NO … WE MUST START NOW!
SCGOP “RINO” Club?
SCGOP “RINO” CLUB: As background, the current RINO “establishment” SCGOP leadership has their “Elephant Club” (HERE). It cost $120 (Bronze), $240 (Silver), $480 (Gold) or $960 (Chairman’s Circle) / year. You can make monthly payments as well of $10, $20, $40 or $80 respectively. And just as an FYI, per Drew McKissick at the December 13th SCGOP State Executive Committee meeting, those prices are going up … you know, inflation.
And how many SCGOP Elephant Club members are there? Currently only about 1,500 donors … in a state with a population of 5.4 million.
1,500
SCGOP Major Donors? And the SCGOP Elephant Club is only part of the equation. There are also “major” donors … the $20,000, $40,000 & $50,000 per year donors that Drew prides himself on. Let me assure you, nobody will give you $50,000 without some expectation … so maybe this is why SC is the most liberal red state in the nation!!!
Plus … consider the funding from Lindsey Graham & Tim Scott. They raise tens of millions … but we don’t see any of it at the grassroots level or even the County GOP level … at least not for the America FIRST counties.
WE CAN’T WAIT!
We can’t wait until May 2025 … for the #ReOrg2025 SCGOP State Convention to “start” growing our donor base. If we do, we will waste the first two years trying to pay the bills. We have to hit the ground rolling … DAY#1!!!
I can personally assure you, standard operating procedure for the RINO “establishment” is to leave the bank accounts EMPTY for the new guys. It has happened in other states (Colorado & Michigan) as America FIRST Patriots took over those state parties … and it has happened in counties right here in South Carolina as America FIRST Patriots took over locally.
We don’t want to think about “fundraising” … and as we have experienced with the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) when we voted out the RINO “establishment” in 2021, there is no “sugar daddy” that is going to step in and write big checks. Know that we are going to have to do this on our own if we want remain true to the grassroots agenda.
$5, $10, $20 on a monthly basis … whatever amount … is it worth it to #SaveAMERICA & #SaveSouthCarolina?

THOUGHTS? Send us your thoughts and suggestions as we tackle this fundraising challenge going into 2024 and building to #ReOrg2025. It will be here sooner than you know it. team@mySCGOP.com
Together we are making serious change. Do we really want to scare the RINOs? Show them we know how to fundraise and they will know their days are numbered.

Advent reminds us that the ultimate source of our strength and unity isn’t found only in earthly plans (no matter how good they are), but in the One who is coming again.
This year, we get to carry fresh energy, restored purpose, and real hope into the future, lifted higher and carried farther because our ultimate hope is in the returning King.
So let’s run this race with endurance, work with joy, and love each other boldly … soaring on wings like eagles, because the Lord is renewing us day by day.
Happy First Sunday of Advent!
“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), as we rejoice in election victories, let us never forget whom we truly serve: our Lord alone.

Friends, we have been running a weekly Coffee & Politics Meeting out of our Greenville Headquarters for nearly 3 1/2 years now … and it has been a huge hit. It is how we communicate our vision and #Mission to or local Volunteers and Community … and it one way we RECRUIT more people to the MAGA America First movement.
As we rejoice in election victories, let us never forget whom we truly serve: our Lord alone. The ultimate victory was never up for vote—it was settled at the cross. Jesus has already won.
As we enter this Thanksgiving week, what better time to lift our eyes from the ballot box to the One who holds all things together? So stay steady, keep working hard with joy, and place no ultimate trust in parties or elected officials.
We do not fight for victory; we fight from victory. Be thankful. Always. And especially this week—give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, and His steadfast love endures forever!
“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 15:57
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), politicians (and voters) often claim “Christian values” while ignoring Jesus’ commands like speaking truth, hypocrisy, performative piety, vindictiveness, etc., etc.
