Patriots Standing Up AGAINST Tyranny at the May 20th, 2023 SCGOP Convention … Will “WE” Learn?

We all know about this SC House “Uniparty” Rule Change championed on Tuesday by Democrat Minority Leader Todd Rutherford (D – RichlandHERE) and quickly moved through by Republican leadership (FITSNews – HERE & HERE). The “Rule” change that will limit amendments and debate on bills … and give the Democrat & Republican caucus leaders power to pick which amendments are presented … and most importantly which are not presented.

It’s beyond reprehensible.

We haven’t seen anything move this fast since the murder of our State Senator Clementa Pinckney (HERE) and 8 other souls on June 17th, 2015 … and Nikki Haley’s passage of a bill to remove of the Confederate Flag on July 10th from State House grounds … all in only 23 days.  Or perhaps the lightening fast passage of the $1.4 BILLION Volkswagen “deal” last year.  

Never forget … where there is a will, there is a way … so never accept “excuses” from your legislators … NEVER!!!


But why is anyone surprised by these “tricks”? Haven’t we seen this time and time again? From SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick? Heck, a similar “Rule” change resolution limiting amendments was PRE-FILED (H4695, HERE) back on December 14th … this was coming … why are they surprised??? It is what these people do … and it is why SC is the most liberal Republican legislature in America.

A few SCGOP examples …

  • 2021 Greenville GOP ReOrg “FRAUD”.
  • 2021 “barring” of Greenville Chairman from SCGOP Meetings.
  • 2022 SCGOP “special” Convention Rules Changes.
  • 2022 SCGOP “condemnation” of Horry, Anderson & Greenville leaders.
  • The Horry GOP Leadership “STEAL” by the SCGOP.
  • The Oconee GOP Leadership “STEAL” by the SCGOP.
  • 2023 Greenville GOP Convention Takeover by the SCGOP.
  • 2023 false “Unity” Efforts in Greenville – working with the SCGOP.
  • 2023 Charleston GOP Convention “STEAL”.
  • 2023 Greenville GOP Convention “attempted” STEAL.
  • May 20, 2023 SCGOP State Convention “STEAL”.
  • SCGOP Failure to Recognize Duly Elected Charleston State EC.
  • SCGOP “barring” Duly Elected Greenville State EC.
  • 2023 Lexington GOP Leadership “STEAL” by _______ & _______(?). Yes, we know who …

This is just over the past 3 years … and certainly not an all inclusive list as we have heard dozens of local GOP stories with similar outrageous behavior.

WE EXPECTED THIS!: This SC House “Rule” change should have been completely expected … it was by us … given our experiences above.

But more importantly it should have been PREPARED for … but it wasn’t … because of petty bickering and turf games.


You see all the examples leading up to this SC House “Rule” change … but where were ANY of our SC Legislators when this happened … you know, the legislators this SC House “Rule” change is intended to quash … the legislators purportedly fighting for US? The ones needing our help … and asking for our VOTES? Yes, where were they when all of the above was going on within the SCGOP and “their” local County Parties?

Easy answer … NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

In fact … and this is difficult for some to hear … some of those same legislators ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED along with their newly created patriot / establishment hybrid “splinter groups” in the ramrodding done to America FIRST GOPs … in apparent coordination with the SCGOP leadership and their cabal.

Yep … totally bizarre and why we teach “Watch what they DO, not what they SAY”.

All of this should have been expected: Yes … we knew this sort of “Rule” change thing would happen to them too … it always does … and it should have been PREPARED for by all of us. We have the numbers … we have The People … and best of all we have RIGHT and GOD on our side …

… but we don’t have UNITY!

We have a mishmash quagmire of independent groups jockeying for position … refusing to all come to the table and work together … and some, as stated above, actively subverting other America FIRST Patriots.

It has to STOP … or we should expect more of the same!


It has been said through history … in many different ways … as true today as it ever was … and perhaps best said by Ben Franklin:

“We must, indeed, all hang together or must assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

Will we have UNITY … NOW?: Greenville America FIRST Patriots are committed. We know other county America FIRST Patriots are committed. There are A LOT of us willing to come to the table … but will “everyone”? We don’t need to all like each other, but we do need to work together for the greater good … and it must be about SERVICE over SELF. We hang together, or we hang separately.

We will try again … stay tuned … and pray.

SaveSouthCarolina!

At the signing, Ben Franklin is quoted as having replied to a comment by John Hancock that they must all hang together, saying, “Yes, we must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.” (HERE)

Ben also commonly used … “JOIN, or DIE” (HERE)

And in SC … United We Stand, Divided We Fall (HERE)

Interestingly … Braylee Estep can attend the SCGOP State Executive Committee meetings … unlike the elected State Executive Committeeman from the largest county in South Carolina representing 12% of the entire state.

Be watchful and prepared as the Kingdom of God is near. Do not be afraid. Rejoice and be hopeful as God is true and certain and His promises are faithful and secure.

He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.

Luke 21:29-31

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), He was mocked, beaten, abused … he was hung on the cross. He conquered the power of sin. He defeated death! He did it for YOU and ME. 

Happy Sunday!

SCGOP Rule 2(f) – Member of the Body

Who cam run for SCGOP Chair?

Published

on


7/30/2022 Proposed Changes: HERE

There has been a lot of “talk” around about who can and who can’t run for SCGOP Chair … and especially about Rule 2(f). It is interesting watching people opine on what they think … but it is critical to look at the Rules themselves, as well as what lawyers would call the “legislative history” – why the Rule was put into place initially.

In way of background, know that the new (as of July 30, 2022) rule 2(f) came about at a Special Called State Convention to hammer through some nefarious rules to help protect DREW MCKISSICK and his leadership group.

It was obvious, but there was no way MAGA America First could STOP the rules changes at the time … and you might find interesting the delegates (as well as some of us members of the State Executive Committee) were not even provided the 2022 RULES CHANGES (HERE) or the 2022 RESOLUTIONS (HERE) until the day before the Saturday Convention … not provided until Friday July 29th, 2022, at 8:01am.  Not much time to review.

Here is the new (as of 7/30/2022) Rule 2(f):  “(f) All elections to a party office at all levels of organization shall be decided by a majority vote unless otherwise directed by the rules; all delegates shall be elected by plurality vote. Candidates must be a member of a precinct or convention body to be eligible for election by the body at each respective level. Candidates for party office above the precinct level, as well as for delegate to the State and National Conventions must have voted in at least two (2) of the three (3) most recent statewide Republican primaries, either in this or any previous state of residence, provided they were old enough to have done so.”

Here is the Rationale for Rule 2(f) as presented to all the voting delegates:  “This clarifies that someone must be a member of a body in order for the other members of the body to elect them to any office, as well as establishing an objective minimum standard of support for the Republican Party in order to run for Party office or delegate positions to the state and/or national conventions.”

It is not complicated.   If you are not a member of the SCGOP convention body, you are not eligible to be elected to any office at the SCGOP level.  

So the only question for someone wanting to run for SCGOP Chair (or any other statewide officer position) … “are YOU a State Delegate?”  

Whether we agree with the Rule or not … it is the Rule … find a way to comply.

Plus, our belief … if you can NOT win leadership in your own county GOP … or lead a “rebellion against the RINOs” in your own county to kick out the establishment … or simply get elected as a State Delegate (or Alternate?) … all by the people that know you best in your county … do you have any business running for SCGOP Chair?  We don’ think so.  Is that unreasonable?

——————-

[NOTE:  Rule 2(f) was added on July 30, 2022, as was clearly meant to keep new folks out – first adding the Greenville 2 of 3 primaries rule … and second being a member of the body – to keep a “Lin Wood” out.  We all knew it, and yes, it is another reason to #FireDREW!!!]

[NOTE:  Are “alternates” members of the body?  To date it has been assumed so … but be prepared even for that to be an issue someday … like all these Rules, they are not clear and can be interpreted however the establishment cabal wants to interpret them … when needed.]

SC Senate’s Railroading of “US”

Legislators have actual distain for their constituents.

Published

on

4/21/2025 YouTube Live Stream: HERE

Yesterday was 10 hours and 15 minutes of pure railroading of the most popular elected public official in the State of South Carolina … Treasurer Curtis Loftis.

At the end of the night, “our” SC State Senators voted 33 to 8 in favor of S 534 (HERE) … a Concurrent Resolution on the “removal” of Curtis Loftis.

But none of this had to do with Curtis Loftis … if had to do with YOU … with US.

If you watch the video you can tell the utter distain our SC State Senators have for US and our opinions.  We had over 400 simultaneous viewers on our live stream yesterday … all furious about what they were witnessing.  Many had never actually watched a video of the proceedings at the SC Statehouse … never seen what really happens in Chambers on the live feed.  Well, now they have, and now they know exactly how bad it is.

We have watched this for just over 10 years in our School Choice battle.  Yesterday was no different.  The Senate had it’s mind made up BEFORE the proceedings started … and nothing was going to change the outcome.  It was all about the MONEY … and their petty vendettas … it had nothing to do with what is right morally, ethically, or legally … it was all a show.

Anyone watching saw the terrible opening performance of Senators Grooms & Goldfinch.  We then all witnessed the brilliant performance of Treasurer Loftis and his representatives / lawyers.  Curtis and his TEAM laid out his case and we all thought it was over … slam dunk … Curtis was vindicated.

Then the rest of the Senators got their “10 minutes each of Q&A” … and it became obvious the outcome was predetermined.

The final vote was 33 to 8 (with 5 excused absences).

But even the 8 that voted in favor of Treasurer Loftis … they all sat there relatively silent knowing the “fix was in” … just like so many times in our school choice fight.  It was a railroading because that is what THEY all wanted.

This was not about Curtis Loftis … this was about POWER, CONTROL, MONEY … and petty personal VENDETTAS … and now a lot more people have seen it first hand.

Let’s hope this is the “Shot Heard Round the WORLD” for South Carolina citizens to wake up to the problem which is our SC State Legislature – especially the SC Senate.  Not some of them, not a few in leadership … not just the ones who voted against Curtis Loftis … but (sadly) every single one of them.  Silence is compliance.  Where was any elected SC Senator FIGHTING for Curtis Loftis … or US … yesterday? They were all responsible. 

NOW … get ready and watch the #FakeNewsMedia and everyone else who “benefits” from getting rid of Curtis will start to pile on.  Watch some (who have been shafting The People as well) try to reap some positive brownie points out of this to help ingratiate themselves with the grassroots as they claim outrage and try to come to Curtis’ defense.  None of this is complicated once you see the mental manipulation that goes on in politics in general, and SC politics specifically. 

More to come on this for sure … stay tuned.

He was mocked, beaten, abused … he was hung on the cross. He conquered the power of sin. He defeated death! He did it for YOU and ME. He did it for the sins of this world. HE IS RISEN!

There is no greater comfort and no greater peace than to live under the covering of the Lord, to have someone here on earth to walk with through everything we face. There is no greater blessing.

May the meaning of Easter, the risen Lord, fill your heart with love, gratitude, compassion and hope.

Happy Easter! 🌿
