More political ping-pong: the Sovereignty Resolution passed the State House of Representatives Tuesday (2/2/2010); however, since it was amended, it most go back to the Senate for approval.

Friends and Patriots,
We are putting the Federal Government on notice with the State Sovereignty Resolution. Now, we must put some teeth to our words.

Thanks to Rep. Mike Pitts, we have an excellent collection of (binding) sovereignty legislation introduced as a starting point. If H.4470, H.4501 & H.4502 alone were to pass, the freedom environment in SC, the economic climate, and the entire scope of state-federal relations would change DRAMATICALLY in our favor. ALL of them deserve our most valiant efforts to secure passage: [Read more →]

Sovereignty Resolution

Our State Sovereignty Resolution had a rough day in the House of Representatives.  The Democrats are attacking it with all the viciousness they have.  Here is an excerpt of what was said to one of our members when they called Representative Gilda Cobb-Hunter:

“I said that I wanted the sovereignty resolution to go through.  She wanted to know on whose behalf I was calling on and I said my own as a constituent. She was laughing and talking to someone in the back ground when she hung up…so I did not hear all that she said but she did not give a *** that I had called.”

It is time that they do give a *** about what we want.  Representative Cobb-Hunter should be overrun with calls (her number is 803-734-2809) letting her know that we can financially support anyone who runs against her in the upcoming elections.  In fact, I will commit the first $1,000 to a real conservative in her district to support their campaign against her.

Voter Reform Bill H3418

The Voting Reform Bill was brought to the Senate floor today. As expected, there was great opposition from the Democrats.  Senator Martin (not sure if Larry or Shane Martin) moved to make the Bill a Special Order. By making the Bill a Special Order the Bill will receive primary importance over other Bills currently in the Senate.  I am proud to announce the entire Republican Caucus voted in favor of the Special Order and shut down the obstructionist Democrats. This Bill will be vital to fair elections in 2010.  Please contact every Republican in the Senate to express your support of this Bill and let them know you are pleased that they stuck together.  From the Senate Home Page you can look up all the Senate Members. Here is a link to the Senate Journal from today’s session.

Here is a message from Sen. Larry Grooms on the Senate debate:

UPDATE: The State Sovereignty resolution passed Tuesday 32-11. The filibuster was dropped without any concessions made or deals struck. This victory does not belong to the SC Republican Party, but rather should be attributed directly to everyone who called, emailed, faxed, and visited our state Senators. Congratulations and keep up the good work!
