“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!!!

There is a lot of “chatter” going around social media about “why” the Pickens County Republican Party (PCRP) and their 24 State Delegates were refused to be seated by the SCGOP State Convention Credentialling Committee on the evening of Friday, May 2nd, 2025.
A draconian move to say the least … even “if” the allegations are true … but the reality is this is just one more example in the series of “fabrications” to protect Drew McKissick, the SCGOP RINO “establishment” … and he monied special interest and their political consultants that are all selling out South Carolina and The People.
What is the fabricated list: (1) The 2021 Greenville ReOrg Fraud, (2) the December 2021 barring of Jeff Davis, as GCRP Chairman, from the State EC Meetings, (3) the fabricated stealing of the Oconee GOP, (4) the violation of HORRY GOP resignation retractions, (5) the attempted steal & takeover of the Greenville 2023 ReOrg, (6) the 2nd barring of Jeff Davis, as GCRP State EC, from the State EC meetings, (7) the Lexington GOP steal from Chair Pamela Godwin, (8) the Congressional District 01 steal from Chair Cynthia Jones, (9) the Congressional District 04 stealing of the Chair position, (10) the 2025 steal of the Charleston GOP Convention via voice votes … and now (11) the failure to seat the 24 anti-Drew delegates from Pickens.
Have we missed a few? Probably. It is hard to keep up with the fabrications.
Anyhow … very few people have actually seen the official documents from the PCRP Challenge … so here they are.
Take a look for yourself. Do you see anything that says anywhere that the former PCRP Chairman artificially capped the county convention delegates to 400? There are 33 pages of EXHIBITS … a ton of paper … but none state that the county delegates were being artificially capped at the 400 person room capacity.
The PCRP has put out there own initial response (HERE) … maybe that will help … and they have also posted the video appeal to the SCGOP convention body by duly elected PCRP State Executive Committeewoman Rhonda Billingsley (HERE). Rhonda did a great job, but it fell on deaf ears Saturday morning.
One theory … this has nothing to do with the PCRP 2025 ReOrg & County convention … it is payback for the 6-minutes of BOOING Senate Lindsey Graham at the July 2nd, 2023, TRUMP Rally in Pickens (HERE).
FEEDBACK: You decide. Is this Lindsey Graham payback? Review the documents yourself. Do you see something we are missing? We don’t see it … but if you do, send us an email to team@mySCGOP.com.

It is a saying that has only been around for about 2,500 years, but one of the main principles of WAR is to “Know Yourself, Know Your Enemy”.
Sun Tzu (HERE), the the great Chinese military general, strategist, philosopher, and writer, said it best …
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
– Sun Tzu, The Art of War – 512 BC
Now, realize Sun Tzu was speaking a bit deeper as it relates to knowing your strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of your enemy … but it is also important to know exactly “who” your enemy is … by name.
Being able to identify the enemy has been a failure of the America First movement in South Carolina in that many of us are new to the scene. We believe them when they tell us what we want to hear, and we believe them when they tell us they are Christians and quote a Bible verse. WE believe them because we can not comprehend someone we know and see at the grocery store would outright lie to us. #WakeUP!!!
As Steve Bannon says … “They have been lying to us, and we have had a belly full of it.“
Now Bannon was talking about the Fake New Media … but the same statement applies to the SCGOP RINO establishment.
So step one … from the SCGOP Convention on May 3rd, 2025 … here is the list of DREW MCKISSICK supporters that was printed out and sitting on all the chairs. This is GOLD!!! This is your initial list of all the people that need to be PURGED from the SCGOP, with extreme prejudice.
Steve Bannon also said that if you were not prepared to go to jail in this fight, you are not ready for this fight. Well, likewise again, if you are not prepared to PURGE these folks from the SCGOP … you are not ready for this fight either.
[NOTE: I will give one caveat … and it is the exception, not the rule. There are some on this list that simply don’t know. They have been duped. Everyone is entitled to REPENT and correct their way, but they must do it openly and honestly … and with full knowledge. Otherwise, they should all on this list “sit out” of politics for a cycle or two in order to reflect on their actions. A few years on the sideline might wake them up to how compromised they have turned the SCGOP.]
We all know the SCGOP is flawed organization … controlled by the monied special interest and their political consultants. Isn’t now the time to, as TRUMP told us … FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!!
Thank you President Donald J. TRUMP … and thank you Sun Tzu … and thank you to whomever had the idea to publish this list. Again, it’s GOLD!!!

The 2025 Precinct ReOrg process is now over … but #ReOrg2027 is right around the corner.
One thing we were taught at a young age … save your paperwork. For those of you at the convention, did you keep all those papers? For those not at the convention … wouldn’t you like to see the paperwork?
Below are the (1) Agenda, (2) Standing Rules & (3) Resolution Packet.
We hope you enjoy … and will use this valuable information to #WIN in 2027 for the MAGA America First movement!!!
A developing movement … stay tuned …

2025 SCGOP Convention Standing Rules (PDF): HERE
2025 SCGOP Convention Resolutions Packet (PDF): HERE
The 2025 Precinct ReOrg process is now over. It was a raucous 2025 SCGOP State Convention this past Saturday, May 3rd at the Columbia Convention Center. Free biscuits and coffee from Senator Lindsey Graham did not soothe the frustrations of the MAGA America First contingent … especially after their favorite Pickens County was disqualified over a “fabricated” infraction designed to take 24 anti-Drew McKissick votes off the table. (More to come on Pickens – but see the FITSNews Article: HERE.)
As in 2023 … the SCGOP “establishment” pulled every trick in the book.
Many first timers to the SCGOP convention witnessed with their own eyes the tyranny of the old guard establishment and their complete lack of respect for SC citizens. Many first timers witnessed not a single elected official in attendance stopping the overt ramrodding of the America FIRST SC Patriots … and in fact many of them celebrated it. Now Patriots know … and they saw firsthand Lt. Governor Pamela Evette & Attorney General Alan Wilson turn a blind eye to 45%+ of the body. It certainly won’t help them in the voting booth next June 9th, 2026 in the Governor’s Race … if they make it that far.
Regardless, Drew McKissick slipped back in by 103 votes, not near as close as the 16 votes of the 2023 SCGOP State Convention (HERE) … but after all the tricks pulled in Charleston, Lexington, Georgetown, PICKENS and other counties … what were we to expect.
Yes, some are licking their wounds (for a day or two) … but most are more motivated than ever.
We will be profiling more this week on the events of the 2025 SCGOP State Convention, so stay tuned … but in the interim, below are the County by County results in the top two and most critical races.
Temporary President Race: Jay Ragley (54.3%) vs. Rep. Jordan Pace (45.7%)
Chairman Race: Drew McKissick (55.7%) vs. Lee Bright (41.3%) vs. Denny Floyd (3.0%)
A developing movement … stay tuned …

Last week FITSNews put out an article about the SC Speaker of the House entitled “Murrell Smith Has Lost His Ability To Lead”. (HERE).
Questioning the Speaker’s ability to lead was one thing (and we loved it) … but we found a quote in the article that “IF” all our MAGA America First friends would learn and truly understand, we would win this war with the RINOs … and Save America in the process.
Take a read … and maybe read it twice …
“Power, in an ideal world, is wielded by principled officials with the consent – and in the interests – of the governed. In reality, though, it is wielded by powerful special interests who use elected officials as their puppets. As a result, the goal of “governing” becomes advancing those special interests while doing just enough to fool just enough of the voters into believing you are still serving their interests.”
“The more the curtain is peeled back, though, the harder it becomes to keep the puppet show going… especially when the objectives of these special interests run completely counter to the will of the electorate.”
– FITSNews 4/24/2025
Do you see it? Do you realize that none of this world of politics is about the Will of The People? Do you understand you can’t trust any of them … and as we would add, especially don’t trust the ones you like? Didn’t we see this with what essentially every SC State Senator did to Treasurer Curtis Loftis on April 21st, 2025 … and their “railroading of US”? (HERE)
It is all about OVERSIGHT … by The People … by YOU … by US … and it takes calling out the “drift” to the center (or worse, to the left) we see with all good conservative elected officials … most within months of being elected.
Yes, WE are peeling back the curtain. WE are winning. But learn to trust your gut, learn to question everything, and learn to trust nothing as is necessary!!!
WE The People win first by knowing what this “game” (as they see it) is really about … and secondly by knowing this applies to ALL elected officials … including the ones you like … especially the ones you like. No one is immune.
If you will learn just that … WE can Save America.
