Friends, we introduced you to the myriad of Citizen Boards & Commissions all over South Carolina back in January (HERE). There must be thousands of these various volunteer boards … and there are opportunities galore!!!
Today we are here to #1 check to verify if you have gotten on one yet … and #2 remind you to do so ASAP if you have not yet!!!
These are important … so GET INVOLVED!!!
There are 4 levels of boards. City, County, Legislative & State.
Our rule of thumb … EVERY SC PATRIOT needs to be on one board for each level. (Obviously if you don’t live in a city you can’t be on a city board … but we all qualify for the other three.)
TIME COMMITMENT? Some boards may meet monthly, some almost never. Whatever it is … DO IT!!!
HOW TO FIND YOUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS? Alright … as normal … they don’t make it easy to find these opportunities, and each county is different. Do a quick internet search using your county name, and add boards and commissions. Some jurisdictions call them “committees”, so add that to your search parameter as well.
You can find it, and then help other patriots in your community sign-up as well.
GREENVILLE EXAMPLES:
City of Greenville Boards (Deadline Feb 1st): HERE
Greenville County Boards (Deadline Sept 30th): HERE
Greenville Legislative Boards (Deadline Sept 8th): HERE
CHARLESTON EXAMPLES:

STATE BOARDS (over 250!!!): HERE
GET INVOLVED!!!
As we teach … if your butt is not sitting in that seat, whether it is a Board & Commission or an elected office … someone else’s is … and chances are you will not be happy with what they are doing.
Look at the problem with the NO CONCELABLE WEAPONS signs in the Charleston County Parks. (HERE) That was a problem with the members of the Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission (CCPR). If 2nd Amendment Patriots were the majority on that commission, we would have never had the problem in the first place.
So, you can love the 2nd Amendment all you want … or whatever your cause may be … but if you just complain on FaceBook and don’t get on a Board & Commission … we don’t want to hear it anymore!!!
