The South Carolina Republican Party is reconvening the State Convention this Saturday to adopt a rule change creating a CANDIDATE QUALIFICATION whereby to run for elected office as a Republican you must have voted in 2 of the prior 3 Republican Primaries.

Our MAGA / America First GOPs across South Carolina OPPOSE this change as it is designed to keep PATRIOTS OUT!!! You should be able to decide WHO runs for office ... not the political insiders.

Per SCGOP Rule 2(g) - HERE-> https://www.myscgop.news/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/SCGOP-Rules-Updated-2022-Convention.pdf // It takes a 2/3rd vote to change the rules. So WE NEED YOU in Columbia on Saturday to vote with statewide MAGA / America First Caucus.

The State Convention will reconvene this coming Saturday, June 27, 2026 at the State Fairgrounds (Goodman Building), 1200 Rosewood Dr, Columbia, SC 29201.
