“Transformational Change” with PACE Scholarship
It is not always simple to explain … NOTHING is as it seems in politics …
At mySCGOP.com we are about EDUCATION. Education about how to get involved with the mechanics of the bi-annual Precinct ReOrg … and perhaps more importantly, education about “why” it is critical to GET INVOLVED as GRASSROOTS … and what exactly is going on with our elected officials.
It is not always simple to explain … NOTHING is as it seems in politics … and people (including legislators) will absolutely lie to your face.
As we teach, “Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.”
And YES … stop getting mad at the TV … and DO SOMETHING.
On Thursday morning we issued TWO “CALLS TO ACTION” … and today we have the preliminary RESULTS!!!
CALL TO ACTION #1. SC HOUSE “LOYALTY OATH”: The first call to action was to support liberty minded legislators in the SC House against a “loyalty oath” … or as we like to call it a “Blood Oath” to support EACH OTHER’S SECRETS as opposed to honoring their Constitutional Oaths … and commitment to #WeThePeople.
That issue has escalated, and SC House “Republican” Leadership has dug in, now apparently KICKING OUT the 20 +/- legislators that have refused to sign this “Blood Oath”. The matter is fast developing … so stay tuned for more as we think this matter may go NUCLEAR from both sides. #HoldTheLine Patriots!!!
CALL TO ACTION #2. Support the PACE Amendment in the SC Senate: Now this issue we know personally. It is what we do!!! It is our personal cause … and a GREAT example / Case Study for patriots to learn from. We can assure you that over the years we have seen just about everything … and WORSE!!!
And, the final result on Thursday was a twist.
Realize that “establishment” Republicans have opposed this from the beginning … not on the merits … but more on a personal level (they don’t like us because we speak truth to power – as Trey Gowdy taught us to do) … and worse, because it was not what the monied special interest want them to do. #FollowTheMoney!!!
So what happened???
Initially there has been three days of Senate Floor debate by Republican Senators Tom Davis, Shane Martin, Tom Corbin … and Democrat Senator Mike Fanning … and a few others. Then the Republican “establishment” came out in active vocal opposition on the floor of the Senate to this PACE Amendment (10A).
After about an HOUR of opposition … there was a “long” 5 minute recess (off camera) … and upon return ALL WAS GOOD???
Say what??? What happened in that “recess”??? We don’t know … but ultimately Senators have committed to passing the $100 Million PACE Scholarship Amendment next TUESDAY.
This is HUGE for Kids!!! This is GAME CHANGING for Kids!!! Watch the video:
Absolutely this will be TRANSFORMATIONAL and will give SC (if it passes the SC House and becomes law) literally the nations premiere school choice program. We will have gone from LAST … to FIRST … in one fell swoop.
Remember, “establishment” politicians listen to the monied special interest … not the grassroots advocates or the experts. Politicians generally just follow the money!!!
Specifically what is happening, as the Senator Majority Leader promised in the video above, PACE will be passed along with the ESA … all in ONE BILL (which is key) next Tuesday. We don’t like the ESA, but we will tag along with it as a temporary “compromise”.
We never support anything 100% government run (like the ESA) … but we do believe the end result will be fine as we are pretty confident the bad policy / nefarious / monied special interest ESA will die on it’s own either #1 an unconstitutional legal challenge … or #2 PACE will win in the free market as all the schools and parents will work with PACE when given an option.
Plus kids and families need help … so we can compromise for their sake (so long as we have a solution that won’t allow 100% government run ESAs to destroy our private schools too.
Ask yourself, what parent or school wants to work under a government run program … with government strings attached? As far as we know … NOBODY!!!
So, how did this happen???
First of all, “educated” SC Patriots all over South Carolina called, texted, and emailed their SC State Senator. Precinct Presidents, ECs, DELEGATES … and County Officers. Informed Citizens!!! By being involved in your local PRECINCT … especially with ReOrg … you have “street cred” when you call your legislators. They know, if they don’t listen … you know how the system works … and the JUNE PRIMARIES and their “re-election” is not that far away.
Not a threat … just a fact of life.
It was also not our intent to harass … but to educate legislators on the merits of the PACE Scholarship Amendment. Patriots also did not rollover at the first sign of push-back from their Senator.
Remember … be PROFESSIONAL, but be PERSISTANT!!!
Plus, it really is not complicated … the SC Republican Platform opposes BIG Government … and the Republican Platform supports Limited Government. Senators just needed a little reminder that they knowingly or unknowingly were pushing a 100% Government Run Private School Choice Program with the ESA … that was destined to fail.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT???: We shall see what develops over the weekend. After this bill is passed by the SC Senate, it will move over to the SC House.
The question everyone is asking … and we are waiting to have answered … was a “deal” cut to kill this somewhere else??? To blame someone else for it not passing??? Let’s hope not for the sake of the CHILDREN!!!
Time will tell … and we will TELL YOU!!! #LearnTheir Tricks!!!
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!
May the meaning of Easter, the risen Lord, fill your heart with love, compassion and hope.
Happy Easter! 
“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.”
Matthew 28:6
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), today is Palm Sunday, the start of Holy Week … the most sacred week! Let’s use this time to reflect on the unfathomable obedience, love and compassion that we are gifted daily, by our Savior.
Happy Sunday!

FITS 2024
Upcoming Congressional and State Convention
EVERYONE who is a MAGA / America FIRST state delegate or state alternate should attend
A few months ago we introduced you all to the every FOUR YEAR SCGOP Congressional & State Conventions held prior to the RNC NATIONAL CONVENTION where we will select the GOP Presidential Candidate (HERE).
With South Carolina leading the way … we know that the GOP nominee will be President TRUMP … but very few people seem to know about these upcoming Congressional Conventions or the State Convention.
South Carolina has 50 National Delegates & 50 National Alternates to send to the RNC National Convention this year in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from Monday, July 15th, 2024 – Thursday, July 18th, 2024.
Well … now we know the dates and times for selecting those 50 NATIONAL DELEGATES & 50 NATIONAL ALTERNATES … and EVERYONE who is a MAGA / America FIRST state delegate or state alternate should attend!!! Your attendance is “mandatory” if for no other reason than to “learn” about the process … but to also support your America FIRST candidates for the available positions. #VoteAmericaFIRST!!!
Do you really want Nikki Haley supporters going to the RNC National Convention? Hmmm … think about it.
REGISTER TODAY
If you were a STATE DELEGATE or a STATE ALTERNATE … here is the Eventbrite link to register for your respective CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.
All SCGOP Congressional Conventions: HERE
1st District – Saturday, April 13th at 10AM: HERE
2nd District – Tuesday, April 23rd at 7PM: HERE
3rd District – Saturday, April 13th at 10AM: HERE
4th District – Saturday, April 20th at 9AM: HERE
5th – District – Saturday, April 13th at 10AM: HERE
6th District – Saturday, April 20th at NOON: HERE
7th District – Saturday, April 6th at 10AM: HERE
(*Verify all dates and times on SCGOP Eventbrite)
Yes you should go!!! Reunite with fellow America FIRST friends, learn the process, and support your respective America FIRST candidates.
Elections will consist of a Congressional District Chair, Vice Chair & Secretary … as well as 3 National Delegates + 3 National Alternates.
Be warned however, if you want to be a NATIONAL DELEGATE or ALTERNATE, you will have to cover your own travel and lodging cost which are estimated to be around $3,500 … so don’t run for a spot if you can’t go for the full week or would rather spend your dollars at the beach this summer.
SAVE THE DATE – Saturday May 4th
We don’t know the location or time yet … but we do know the STATE CONVENTION will be on Saturday, May 4th, 2024 … presumably somewhere central in the midlands / Columbia / Lexington area. It will be BIG and like the state convention last May 2023 with 943 STATE DELEGATES & 943 STATE ALTERNATES eligible to attend.
At the convention we will elect the remaining 29 NATIONAL DELEGATES & 29 NATIONAL ALTERNATES.
The 2nd reason to show up for the STATE CONVENTION … we have heard that Drew McKissick and the RINO Establishment want to push through more “Rule Changes”. They did this to slow down the America FIRST movement with their “Special Called Convention” on July 30th, 2022 … let’s see what tricks they may have in store for us this May 4th, 2024.
The RINOs don’t have the numbers now like they did in 2022 … but we have to SHOW UP!!!

Monday March 25th, 2024, will go down in history as a really, really, really GOOD DAY for President TRUMP!!!
First, a New York Appeals Court lowered the insane $454 million court bond payment to appeal the New York AG’s case to an equally insane, but manageable, $175 million bond. That reduction as well as an extension of 10 days appears to be enough grace for President TRUMP to fulfill the obligation and preserve his properties in the State of New York.
DC_Draino (HERE) had the best meme of the day …

Truth Social goes PUBLIC!!!
- $4 BILLION!!!
But the YUGE news for President TRUMP from March 25th, 2024, is finally … TRUTH Social will be a publicly traded company … and the stock symbol … get ready for it … DJT!!! You can’t make this up either!!!
The government approval / administrative process which should have taken 3 or 4 months … took TRUTH Social nearly 2 years. No, you really can’t make this up either, and yes this is happening in America, in our Republic.
But as with most bad deed … the finalization of the technical merger to allow TRUTH Social to become a publicly traded company could not have come at a better time as he seemingly solidifies his position for the 2024 November election.
Now with public valuation data, TRUMP’s personal net worth skyrocketed by $4 BILLION sending him onto the Bloomberg 500 wealthiest list for the first time ever … and that is before the 43% stock price increase so far today on the first day of trading.
Good things happen to good people … so keep fighting folks!

Today is Palm Sunday (HERE), the start of Holy Week … the most sacred week! Let’s use this time to reflect on the unfathomable obedience, love and compassion that we are gifted daily, by our Savior. The triumph over sin, sacrifice, forgiveness, hope, faith, are few more things to reflect on during this special time …
Let us know what do you do to celebrate the Holy Week!
“And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”
Philippians 2:8
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), God’s plans for his children unfold in the simplest ways of our daily lives. How often do you question God’s purpose … his plan … and simply ask, why God?
Happy Sunday!
SC Ethics Commission – SEI: HERE
This week we have learned how to “track” candidates (HERE) and how much it costs to file to run for office (HERE)! Today, let’s review the Candidate Filings.
Statement of Economic Interests (SEI)
The general idea of the Statement of Economic Interests is as stated, to disclose the candidate’s or elected official’s “economic” or financial interest. Read more about it HERE and in the mySCGOP article below … and have fun looking up the SEI of your favorite politicians!
Campaign Finance Disclosures
Campaign Finance Disclosures (initial, quarterly, pre-election & final) are for reporting the donations and expenditures of candidate’s campaign account. Remember – if you intend to spend any money on your campaign, you will need to open a separate campaign bank account – you cannot use your personal one!
As with any filing, there are deadlines on the Campaign Finance Disclosures that is YOUR responsibility to follow. For State and Local
candidate campaign filings you would go to https://ethics.sc.gov/ to file while for Federal positions (US House & Senate), you would got to https://www.fec.gov/.
