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.]

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.
