The South Carolina Senate Judiciary Special Subcommittee on Immigration is holding its first of four public hearings on immigration reform tonight at 6 o-clock in North Charleston. Roan Garcia-Quintana of “Americans Have Had Enough” says it’s time to hear from citizens and allow them to weigh in on the immigration issue. We need to encourage our fellow patriots to go, our citizens to go because as we have been talking about this for the past three, four, five, six years, this is not about illegal immigration, it’s about an illegal immigrant invasion. “Americans Have Had Enough” is a coalition formed in
U-S senator Lindsey Graham was at Skylyn Medical Associates in Spartanburg today to discuss the problems with the recently enacted healthcare reform law also known as “Obama healthcare.” Graham plans to introduce legislation that would let states decide on their own. One of the ideas I have is let each state decide. So, I am going to give every state the ability through my legislation to opt out of Obama healthcare when it comes to employer mandates, the individual mandates in expanding Medicaid. Graham says healthcare reform is needed, just not the Obama Adminstration’s plan. We need to reform the
COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina Republicans have put $50,000 into Alan Wilson’s campaign for attorney general. The donation was reported in a state GOP campaign account filing Monday. “The Democratic Party gave $50,000 to their candidate and we gave $50,000 to ours to maintain a competitive advantage in that race,” state GOP executive director Joel Sawyer said Thursday. “And it won’t be the last significant donation that you see to a statewide candidate in this cycle.” The state Democratic Party gave their nominee, Matthew Richardson, $50,000 in June. Richardson was unopposed. Wilson, son of U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson, finished a
Washington is corrupt and Democrats want to bring Washington style corruption to South Carolina schools. President Obama and his allies want total control of our schools, but they have no Constitutional authority over education. Education decisions belong to individual states; not Washington. The State Superintendent of Education is the most important election on Nov. 2, and the office is extremely important to maintaining state control, and wrestling our classrooms away from Washington liberals and returning them to South Carolina teachers. Liberal Democrats understand that those who control schools not only control billions in tax dollars, but also control America’s future,
Dr. Larry Ware joined Senator Lindsey Graham in discussing problems with the new health care law in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Graham unveiled a ‘Citizens Prescription’ to the United States Congress ‘prescribing’ the Repeal and Replace of Obamacare.
Republican gubernatorial hopeful Nikki Haley and 1st District Congressional candidate Tim Scott vowed Thursday to do all they can to put an end to President Barack Obama’s health care reform.. “All we have to do is look at Canada and see what’s happened,” Haley said. “You can get diagnosed with an illness, and it will be months to a year and maybe longer until you get treated. We have to fight this.” Haley said she would get a coalition of governors to suggest alternatives to Obama’s recent overhaul, which would fine citizens $700 or 2 percent of their income, whichever
With less than a month until elections, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has been busy whipping up votes for two fellow Republicans, U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson and gubernatorial nominee Nikki Haley. Wilson faces Democratic challenger Rob Miller, a 37-year-old former Marine captain and Lady’s Island resident, in the race for South Carolina’s 2nd Congressional District. Haley faces Democratic state Sen. Vincent Sheheen. Congress adjourned for recess last week ahead of the Nov. 2 election, when Republicans will try to win back a majority in the Democratic-controlled U.S. House. “If the election were held tomorrow, we’d take the House back,” Graham said,
Republican gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley picked up the endorsement of Gun Owners of America, a grassroots group that supports 2nd Amendment rights. Haley advertises that she is concealed weapons permit holder on her campaign website, and Gun Owners of America vice president Tim Macy said Haley sees eye-to-eye with the group’s positions. “Nikki Haley stands 100 percent behind the rights of South Carolina’s gun owners and sportsmen,” Macy said in a statement. “In particular, Rep. Haley strongly supports concealed carry of firearms by law-abiding citizens and will work to ease unreasonable restrictions on CWP holders.” by John O’Connor
From CNN Congressional Producer Deirdre Walsh Washington (CNN) – A top House Republican boasted Thursday that Republicans are already positioned to take control of the House, and argued the Democrats’ political position will only worsen as Election Day approaches. California Republican Congressman Kevin McCarthy, the top recruiter of GOP candidates and chief Republican Whip in the House, told reporters on a conference there are “more than enough seats” to win, and added, “I think the map is getting bigger by the day.” McCarthy, who has traveled to more than 50 districts so far during the August recess, said the economy
For an incumbent trying to keep his seat, South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint seems a lot more focused on the campaigns of Sharron Angle in Nevada, Marco Rubio in Florida and a half-dozen other Republican candidates around the country. DeMint’s political action committee, the Senate Conservatives Fund, has already contributed more than $2 million to candidates who meet DeMint’s conservative criteria. (“We support only those candidates who believe and will fight to restrain our government, so you and your family can live free, independent and prosperous lives,” DeMint says in one video.) A spokesman for the fund says they are
