Patriots Standing Up AGAINST Tyranny at the May 20th, 2023 SCGOP Convention … Will “WE” Learn?
We all know about this SC House “Uniparty” Rule Change championed on Tuesday by Democrat Minority Leader Todd Rutherford (D – Richland, HERE) and quickly moved through by Republican leadership (FITSNews – HERE & HERE). The “Rule” change that will limit amendments and debate on bills … and give the Democrat & Republican caucus leaders power to pick which amendments are presented … and most importantly which are not presented.
It’s beyond reprehensible.
We haven’t seen anything move this fast since the murder of our State Senator Clementa Pinckney (HERE) and 8 other souls on June 17th, 2015 … and Nikki Haley’s passage of a bill to remove of the Confederate Flag on July 10th from State House grounds … all in only 23 days. Or perhaps the lightening fast passage of the $1.4 BILLION Volkswagen “deal” last year.
Never forget … where there is a will, there is a way … so never accept “excuses” from your legislators … NEVER!!!
SURPRISED?
But why is anyone surprised by these “tricks”? Haven’t we seen this time and time again? From SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick? Heck, a similar “Rule” change resolution limiting amendments was PRE-FILED (H4695, HERE) back on December 14th … this was coming … why are they surprised??? It is what these people do … and it is why SC is the most liberal Republican legislature in America.
A few SCGOP examples …
- 2021 Greenville GOP ReOrg “FRAUD”.
- 2021 “barring” of Greenville Chairman from SCGOP Meetings.
- 2022 SCGOP “special” Convention Rules Changes.
- 2022 SCGOP “condemnation” of Horry, Anderson & Greenville leaders.
- The Horry GOP Leadership “STEAL” by the SCGOP.
- The Oconee GOP Leadership “STEAL” by the SCGOP.
- 2023 Greenville GOP Convention Takeover by the SCGOP.
- 2023 false “Unity” Efforts in Greenville – working with the SCGOP.
- 2023 Charleston GOP Convention “STEAL”.
- 2023 Greenville GOP Convention “attempted” STEAL.
- May 20, 2023 SCGOP State Convention “STEAL”.
- SCGOP Failure to Recognize Duly Elected Charleston State EC.
- SCGOP “barring” Duly Elected Greenville State EC.
- 2023 Lexington GOP Leadership “STEAL” by _______ & _______(?). Yes, we know who …
This is just over the past 3 years … and certainly not an all inclusive list as we have heard dozens of local GOP stories with similar outrageous behavior.
WE EXPECTED THIS!: This SC House “Rule” change should have been completely expected … it was by us … given our experiences above.
But more importantly it should have been PREPARED for … but it wasn’t … because of petty bickering and turf games.
WHERE WERE OUR LEGISLATORS?
You see all the examples leading up to this SC House “Rule” change … but where were ANY of our SC Legislators when this happened … you know, the legislators this SC House “Rule” change is intended to quash … the legislators purportedly fighting for US? The ones needing our help … and asking for our VOTES? Yes, where were they when all of the above was going on within the SCGOP and “their” local County Parties?
Easy answer … NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
In fact … and this is difficult for some to hear … some of those same legislators ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED along with their newly created patriot / establishment hybrid “splinter groups” in the ramrodding done to America FIRST GOPs … in apparent coordination with the SCGOP leadership and their cabal.
Yep … totally bizarre and why we teach “Watch what they DO, not what they SAY”.
All of this should have been expected: Yes … we knew this sort of “Rule” change thing would happen to them too … it always does … and it should have been PREPARED for by all of us. We have the numbers … we have The People … and best of all we have RIGHT and GOD on our side …
… but we don’t have UNITY!
We have a mishmash quagmire of independent groups jockeying for position … refusing to all come to the table and work together … and some, as stated above, actively subverting other America FIRST Patriots.
It has to STOP … or we should expect more of the same!
LEARN FROM HISTORY
It has been said through history … in many different ways … as true today as it ever was … and perhaps best said by Ben Franklin:
“We must, indeed, all hang together or must assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”
Will we have UNITY … NOW?: Greenville America FIRST Patriots are committed. We know other county America FIRST Patriots are committed. There are A LOT of us willing to come to the table … but will “everyone”? We don’t need to all like each other, but we do need to work together for the greater good … and it must be about SERVICE over SELF. We hang together, or we hang separately.
We will try again … stay tuned … and pray.
SaveSouthCarolina!
At the signing, Ben Franklin is quoted as having replied to a comment by John Hancock that they must all hang together, saying, “Yes, we must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.” (HERE)
Ben also commonly used … “JOIN, or DIE” (HERE)
And in SC … United We Stand, Divided We Fall (HERE)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR …
Jeff Davis is co-founder of mySCGOP.com. Jeff is a ’89 graduate of The Citadel and in 1993 received his Law/MBA from USC. A tax attorney / CPA licensed in Georgia, Jeff is an uncompromised school choice advocate for K-12 children with special needs. Originally from Charleston, and having practiced in Atlanta, Jeff and his wife Olga now live in Greenville. Jeff completed his two year term as Greenville County Republican Party Chairman and is currently serving as GCRP State Executive Committeeman.
Jeff is also “barred” from attending the SCGOP State Executive Committee Meetings (HERE). Why? Because he dared to run against Drew McKissick for SCGOP Chairman – coming in 2nd with Drew only being reelected by 1.8% (HERE & HERE) – and in September 2021 he told the State Executive Committee that Chad Connelly had been under SLED investigation for a year and a half … and it was true (HERE & HERE).
Interestingly … Braylee Estep can attend the SCGOP State Executive Committee meetings … unlike the elected State Executive Committeeman from the largest county in South Carolina representing 12% of the entire state.

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!
May the meaning of Easter, the risen Lord, fill your heart with love, compassion and hope.
Happy Easter! 
“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.”
Matthew 28:6
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), today is Palm Sunday, 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.
Happy Sunday!

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/.
For more details click HERE or the mySCGOP article below.
