Will you support Red to the Roots with $5 or $10 TODAY? Click here to tell tax and spend Democrats that their days are numbered! Fellow Republican, South Carolina is a solidly red, Republican state – or so says the media and most observers. However, a closer look into history and the current state of politics might surprise you. In 1974, a Lowcountry dentist named Jim Edwards waged a massive grassroots campaign to become our first Republican governor in one hundred years. And it was only within the last two decades that Republicans gained majorities in the South Carolina General
Fellow Republican, Chances are your local TV station or newspaper never reported that Vince Sheheen kicked off his gubernatorial campaign at abortion activist Robert Key’s home… Chances are your local TV station or newspaper never reported that Vince Sheheen has quadrupled his income (to nearly $400,000 per year) since becoming a State Legislator… And it’s probably safe to assume your local TV station or newspaper will not report that Vince Sheheen is jetting up to Manhattan this week to raise big-time special interest cash to help his struggling campaign. But we’re happy to let you know. Join me in highlighting Vince Sheheen’s

On this 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, we pause to reflect on the “greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.” As Americans of many different colors began to gather in Washington, DC to advocate for racial equality, a bomb exploded in Columbia, SC near the home of Henri Montheith, one of three African Americans who was planning to enroll that year at the University of South Carolina. While she and her family were unharmed, the struggle remained very real and even dangerous for those who sought equal rights for their people. From the steps of the
Vince Sheheen: A Trial Lawyer’s Trial Lawyer Sheheen Is Funding His Campaign With Lawyers – And Why Not? He’s Been In Their Pocket Since He Became A Legislator Yesterday, it was again clear why Vince Sheheen has spent his entire legislative career fighting for trial lawyers and against small businesses – and standing in the way of tort reform in South Carolina: lawyers were responsible for raising almost 40 percent of his campaign donations, totaling $233,337.17 to his gubernatorial campaign so far. South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Matt Moore released the following statement: “Vince Sheheen and his friends have spent

SCGOP Chairman Issues Release, Unveils Web Video on Bakari Sellers Run for Lt. Governor Chad Connelly, Chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party, issued the following statement on Rep. Bakari Sellers (D-Bamberg) announcement that he intends to run for Lt. Governor. “Bakari Sellers’s record in the State House of Representatives is one of unabashed liberalism.

As South Carolinians, we understand the loss and destruction that can come with the winds of natural disasters. When storms have ravished our state, people across the country have shown kindness and compassion.

Even those of us not serving in the public arena are still called to public service. Please join the South Carolina Republican Party in sending prayers to the people of Oklahoma, but also in
Dear Fellow Republican, Barack Obama has a plan for our children. He wants every child across the nation enrolled in a government early education program. Left wing academics and labor organizers hatched the plan. Sadly, their goals are social, not educational. They understand that government pre-Kindergarten isn’t academically effective.
