As we work to make SC the “freest state in the nation,” you’ll need to know a few things about free-market economics.

South Carolina’s public education system ranks 50th out of 50 states in the US, yet we spend more per child – roughly $13,000 per year – than we ever have before. Meanwhile, parents and teachers alike are trapped by educrats and the economy. It’s time parents were given a choice.

Please join us for two hours on Saturday morning, January 14th starting at 9AM. We will place door hangers designed to raise awareness on School Choice legislation, and maps of where to place them. Making an impact couldn’t be easier, all you have to do is show up!

There is no cost to attend this event. Copies of “The 5000 Year Leap” will be available for $10.00 each.

The book focuses on the 28 fundamental beliefs of the Founding Fathers which they said must be understood and perpetuated by every people who desired peace, prosperity, and freedom. These beliefs have made possible more progress in 200 years than was made previously in over 5,000 years.
