Where is all that money coming from?

As we were researching the article on Fundraising yesterday and why grassroots patriots must get in this part of the “political game” (HERE), we reminded ourselves about how much was spent / raised right here in the 2020 South Carolina US Senate race. That was the re-election of Lindsey Graham (R) vs. Jamie Harrison (D). Do you remember?

$242 MILLION!!!

$132 million in a losing effort for the Democrat Jamie Harrison … and $112 million for the re-election of Republican Lindsey Graham. You need to be able to quote that off … and tell all your friends all the time because people need to remember.

“Where” is all that money coming from? SC House races … SC Senate … School Board … they don’t compare to these kind of numbers. Sure, we can say that in 2020 there was a battle for “Control” of the US Senate was the reason (which Republicans lost anyhow) … but in 2022 (HERE), SC Senator Tim Scott raised $54 MILLION and he did not even have an opponent in the primary or (not really) the November election either.

And look at the 2022 Georgia US Senate re-election race Raphael Warnock (D) and Herschel Walker (R). $206 million vs. $74 million!!! Just looking at those numbers, does anyone think Hershel had a fighting chance???

WE NEED A BIGGER GRASSROOTS “INFRASTRUCTURE”:

Now … do you see why it takes working from the ground up … from the PRECINCT to the COUNTY to the STATE?

A GRASSROOTS “INFRASTRUCTURE”: Yes, the dollar numbers are massive at the FEDERAL level … and we can tackle that later … but to start know that patriots DO have a fighting chance at the local level especially if they can build a 24/7/365 grassroots infrastructure that the SCGOP has failed to do. Not just a not so cleverly named “SCGOP Victory” campaign every two years … but a real YEAR-ROUND mobilization effort to #SaveSouthCarolina!

TAKE BACK THE GOP!: Sure … the SCGOP “could” do it … but they don’t have the will … and not to mention Drew McKissick & the SCGOP “major donors” (HERE) like things just they way they are. So that is why America FIRST Patriots have to start with the GOP and replace the current leadership … a move that is already afoot here in South Carolina and Nationally.

#ReOrg2025

WILL “THINK TANKS” HELP?: Yes … there are a few well funded National & Local “Think Tanks” in South Carolina as well that do good work … and some that are a real problem like Palmetto Promise Institute & Palmetto Family Council!. Unfortunately NONE of them really engage in the grassroots “battle”, and it is going to take more more than giving legislators awards and writing policy papers to take South Carolina from the most liberal to the most conservative “Red State” in the Nation.

The US Senate campaign fundraising may help put this whole political “monster” in perspective … but do know the GRASSROOTS don’t need anything near that level … just a tiny fraction … but they need some fundraising if we want real grassroots change to be LONGTERM.

Veterans Day 2025

& Poland Independence Day!

Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with holidays in several countries, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which also occur on the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May: Veterans Day commemorates the service of all U.S. veterans, while the older Memorial Day, which grew out of Civil War commemorations, specifically honors those who have died while in military service. Another military holiday that also occurs in May, Armed Forces Day, honors those currently serving in the U.S. military. Additionally, Women Veterans Day is recognized by a growing number of U.S. states that specifically honor women who have served in the U.S. military.

BONUS CONTENT – POLAND INDEPENDENCE DAY: Independence Day (Polish: Narodowe Święto Niepodległości) is a national day in Poland celebrated on 11 November to commemorate the anniversary of the restoration of Poland’s sovereignty as the Second Polish Republic in 1918 from the German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires. Following the partitions in the late 18th century, Poland ceased to exist for 123 years until the end of World War I, when the destruction of the neighboring powers allowed the country to reemerge. It is a non-working day and a flag flying day in Poland.
