Recent news stories are picking up on an undercurrent in the S.C. Democratic Party. Grassroots Democrats and Legislators are abandoning State Chairman Dick Harpootlian in droves. See below: *** For outgoing party Chairwoman Shelly Roehrs, who isn’t seeking re-election after one term for business reasons, Saturday is a time to build cohesiveness that she says hasn’t been coming from the “good ol’ boy” State Democratic Party in Columbia. “We just don’t get a lot of support,” she said. “And we’re kind of left to do things on our own. So we work with a lot of volunteers, and it’s good
Dear Friend, Merry Christmas! Thank you for your leadership and service in our South Carolina Republican Party. As we gather with friends and family to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, let us pause to reflect on the many blessings that God has bestowed upon our nation and state. In December 1776, our young nation, born of the Biblical principles of freedom and opportunity, was quickly deteriorating. The Continental Army was in shambles, filled with sick, unpaid, and hungry soldiers encountering one of the coldest winters ever recorded. General George Washington, encamped with his army in Pennsylvania, did
Thanksgiving 2011 Dear Fellow American, While today’s political correctness has attempted to confuse Americans about our heritage and the source of our “Thanksgiving,” a reading of true and unfiltered history demonstrates that our Founding Fathers and the Pilgrims who celebrated the first Thanksgiving had no doubt to Whom they were thankful. The brave Pilgrims who endured a 66 day voyage across the Atlantic in 1620 suffered through a miserable first winter, losing many of their number. Yet their work ethic and resolve led to a new, free market system and a rejection of communal socialism. The Pilgrims consistently thanked Almighty

Dear Fellow American, Ten years have passed since September 11, 2001. On that clear Tuesday morning, terrorists disrupted our freedom-loving country and took the lives of almost 3,000 friends, fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers. Yet America rose from the ashes with even more courage and determination. As we mark the anniversary of 9/11, let us remember those souls and their grieving families, let us lift our hearts and prayers to God, and let us again dedicate ourselves to being a light for the world. Let us always remember the ideals that the Founders articulated so well, “that all men are
Dear Fellow Republican, As you know, our nation is deep in debt – and our government continues to spend money that we don’t have at record rates. The only way this will ever change is if Americans continue to rise up and demand REAL change and REAL accountability. We have to demand that the federal government go on a diet! Here in South Carolina, our 7 Republican members of Congress all took a strong stand for fiscal accountability during the debate over the national debt limit. They supported the “Cut, Cap and Balance” plan, which would cut current spending, cap
August 8, 2011 Dear Fellow Republican, Union bosses launched recall elections in Wisconsin earlier this summer based on a vote in the Wisconsin Senate that revamped the collective bargaining statutes. While Senate Democrats fled the state, the Republicans stood tall in Madison and balanced a budget that was $3.6 billion in the hole. SIX Republican Senators are on the ballot tomorrow. The races are all competitive and voter turnout may be what ultimately decides whether Wisconsin Republicans defend their majority in the State Senate. Wisconsin Republicans need our help! Please join me in making “Get Out the Vote” phone calls
July 28, 2011 Fellow Republican, Our nation is at a crossroads and Speaker John Boehner and Congressional Republicans need our help in solving the debt ceiling crisis. The Obama-fueled, liberal political machine is at full throttle – flooding Washington with phone calls attacking Republicans – while at the same time trying to scare seniors and hardworking taxpayers. Democrats blame Republicans for gridlock, yet our party only leads one-sixth of the federal government. It’s clear: Barack Obama and Harry Reid are failing to lead. Courageous Republicans proposed the Cut, Cap and Balance plan in Washington to cut spending, cap government growth,
