Einstein is famous for saying “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Given the results here in South Carolina … namely our CPAC rating, status as an abortion destination state, and a host of others “worst on the list” items … we certainly need to do things differently.
And in Greenville … there is no doubt we do things differently!!!
Last night at the Greenville County Council meeting, an unprecedented property tax increase which passed 2nd reading just two weeks ago … was DEFEATED on 3rd Reading.
The “establishment” pulled out all the tricks … it even appeared the Chairman teared up when making his impassioned plea to pass the budget with the tax increase. The 1st Vice Chair likewise pulled on peoples heartstrings when she (falsely) claimed that county employees could lose their jobs as soon as June 30.
It was incredible!!!
But at the end of the discussion … even thought the tax increase passed 8 to 4 two weeks ago … it was DEFEATED on Tuesday night 6 to 6.
It was exciting!!!

District Precinct Meetings:
We preach that if you really want change, the Precincts need to work together … all 2,261 Precincts in SC!!!
Precincts need to have “District” meetings … they need to socialize together, train together … and CAMPAIGN together!!!
And ideally, when the Precincts are working together … future candidates and future leaders will rise up from our grassroots America FIRST movement. How better to do candidate recruitment than to find candidates who are already doing the job of a leader, and are well known in the local political community!
District examples: County Council, SC House, SC Senate, School Board … and Congressional Districts!!!
And when Precincts are organized and working together in their Districts, those Precincts have influence, real influence. The one off calls & emails about legislative issues … even when there are lots of calls & emails … are nowhere near as effective as every single member of precinct leadership in an elected officials “district” speaking with one voice. Organized and ready to go into action if their elected official goes “rogue”.
Imagine … if you were an elected County Councilman … would you want all 13 +++ precincts leaders mad at YOU?!?!?
SAMPLE LETTER: Below is a sample letter one Greenville County Council Districts Precincts sent their elected official (click HERE or picture below)
The twist … this Councilman continued voting “yes” on the tax increase. We can assure you, more than a few signatories to this letter will not forget it … and several have personally committed to start campaigning for an opponent!!! One year to the June 2024 Primaries!!!
Go ahead … start ORGANIZING your local precincts by elected DISTRICTS … and start meeting. You won’t regret it. We don’t!!!
