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.]

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!

It was a clean sweep for the MAGA America First contingent at the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) Convention on Monday April 14th … with Jeff Davis (Chairman), Yvonne Julian (State EC) & Mike Voaden (1st Vice Chair) all winning by acclimation … and the MAGA America First slate of 90 State Delegates & all 90 State Alternates won in a landslide vote.

It could not have been a more textbook operation …

We will have the convention video posted later today … to include keynote speaker Steve Bannon of War Room, State Treasurer Curtis Loftis, Congresswoman Nancy Mace & WORD Host Bill Frady. Stay tuned …

However we do have the video from Jeff Davis’ follow-up appearance on WAR ROOM with Steve Bannon Tuesday morning following the GCRP Convention. (See both videos below.)

The Precinct Strategy

Dan Schultz’s Precinct Strategy works … and Greenville County is one of the prime national examples of how to make it work.  Now we just need to DO IT in all 46 counties in South Carolina … and all 3,144 counties in the United States.

MAGA DREAMS BIG!!!

This is everything mySCGOP is about!!!  We have taught the Precinct Strategy ever since rolling out on January 21st, 2021 … the day after BIDEN was inaugurated … to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT back when it was the darkest days of the MAGA America First movement.  

And ask yourself, “who” doesn’t like mySCGOP?  RINOs maybe?  Folks that do not want to be held accountable for their actions?

It is all very simple to see “who is who” … just watch “who” trashes mySCGOP on social media … or “who” cowers away from associating with mySCGOP … and that is your answer.
