Tusk Club & Why We MUST Fundraise?
Real conservative grassroots patriots hate fundraising
Make a Charitable Donation TODAY: HERE
As conservative grassroots patriots … we all hate fundraising. It is essentially all that SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick talks about, and the same goes for RNC Chairwoman Ronna “Romney” McDaniel. They see us all as nothing other than DOLLAR SIGNS … and that is why “real” conservative grassroots patriots hate fundraising … we simply do not want to be like Ronna or Drew!
Yes, we are right about it not “all” being about the money … but like it or not, we do need to LEARN how to fundraise. Think about it, what will we do when patriots take over the SCGOP or the RNC? Do you think those current “establishment” donors are going to stick around and keep giving? Are those “Major Donors” going to keep giving? I can assure you the vast majority will not. How do we expect to pay for the SCGOP headquarters in Columbia? Even if we have an unpaid Chairman … how are we going to pay for the office staff? What about travel, DATA, mailings, etc., etc., etc.? Do we expect the RNC to step in and help? Don’t make us laugh!
So, given all those rhetorical questions … are we supposed to “start” learning to fundraise once patriots take over the SCGOP?
NO … WE MUST START NOW!
SCGOP “RINO” Club?
SCGOP “RINO” CLUB: As background, the current RINO “establishment” SCGOP leadership has their “Elephant Club” (HERE). It cost $120 (Bronze), $240 (Silver), $480 (Gold) or $960 (Chairman’s Circle) / year. You can make monthly payments as well of $10, $20, $40 or $80 respectively. And just as an FYI, per Drew McKissick at the December 13th SCGOP State Executive Committee meeting, those prices are going up … you know, inflation.
And how many SCGOP Elephant Club members are there? Currently only about 1,500 donors … in a state with a population of 5.4 million.
1,500
SCGOP Major Donors? And the SCGOP Elephant Club is only part of the equation. There are also “major” donors … the $20,000, $40,000 & $50,000 per year donors that Drew prides himself on. Let me assure you, nobody will give you $50,000 without some expectation … so maybe this is why SC is the most liberal red state in the nation!!!
Plus … consider the funding from Lindsey Graham & Tim Scott. They raise tens of millions … but we don’t see any of it at the grassroots level or even the County GOP level … at least not for the America FIRST counties.
WE CAN’T WAIT!
We can’t wait until May 2025 … for the #ReOrg2025 SCGOP State Convention to “start” growing our donor base. If we do, we will waste the first two years trying to pay the bills. We have to hit the ground rolling … DAY#1!!!
I can personally assure you, standard operating procedure for the RINO “establishment” is to leave the bank accounts EMPTY for the new guys. It has happened in other states (Colorado & Michigan) as America FIRST Patriots took over those state parties … and it has happened in counties right here in South Carolina as America FIRST Patriots took over locally.
We don’t want to think about “fundraising” … and as we have experienced with the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) when we voted out the RINO “establishment” in 2021, there is no “sugar daddy” that is going to step in and write big checks. Know that we are going to have to do this on our own if we want remain true to the grassroots agenda.
$5, $10, $20 on a monthly basis … whatever amount … is it worth it to #SaveAMERICA & #SaveSouthCarolina?

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/.
