School Choice Held Hostage in Senate

Just in from FreedomWorks:

The South Carolina Senate is playing politics with the future of thousands of South Carolina students. The House passed historic school choice bill H.4894 last month, but the Senate is holding the bill hostage, with some members trying to delay a vote until the end of the session in June.

The usual suspects are responsible, five “Republican” Senators hold the key to bringing H.4894 to a vote.

  • Sen. Wes Hayes: (803) 212-6410 (District 15, York County)
  • Sen. Larry Martin: (803) 212-6340 (District 13, Greenville, Spartanburg, Union Counties)
  • Sen. Luke Rankin:  (803) 212-6132 (District 33, Horry County)
  • Sen. Billy O’Dell: (803) 212-6040 (District 4: Anderson, Abberville, and Greenwood Counties)
  • Sen. Jake Knotts:  (803) 212-6350 (District 23: Lexington Counties)

Will you take a minute to remind one or two of these Senators that school choice is a Republican platform issue?

P.S. Senator O’Dell was asked last night at a forum why he doesn’t support school choice. His response was not surprising!

Dead Voters in NH Primary

Voter fraud happens. If you are interested in working to combat voter fraud in SC, please contact Jonathon Hill at jhill@andersonteaparty.com. Thanks!

On January 10th, Project Veritas reporters walked into New Hampshire Polling Locations during the Presidential Primaries, saying dead people’s names. We stated the name of a dead person we got from the NH obituaries. The names of the deceased were both Registered Republican and Democrats And in almost every case, saying a dead person’s name, we were handed a ballot to cast a vote. We used no misrepresentation and no false pretenses. in fact, in almost every case, we insisted we show ID and they insisted that we vote without showing ID.
