Drew's Final Hoorah!!! - Saturday was FANTASTIC!!! "Say what?", you might ask. Yes, the entrenched SCGOP "establishment" ramrodded the opening of the May 4th, 2024 SCGOP State Convention right down our throats just like they did with the May 20th, 2023 state convention. How is that good? Well, many of us probably needed to see it again to believe it ... and we had a lot of new people there on Saturday that had never seen it ... so there is no debate what happened. Yes, America FIRST Patriots lost the top National Committeeman & National Committeewoman spots to the long term incumbents ... but all of our candidates listed on the America FIRST national delegate slate were elected to be RNC Delegates or Alternates to Milwaukee in July. We crushed it!!! Yes, the actions of the SCGOP "establishment" were nasty and disgusting ... but as Steve Bannon's opening promo for his show so accurately states ... "This is the primal scream of a dying regime." Whether you know it our not, we all literally just watched on Saturday the current SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick's final hoorah. Overall a great day ... and a WIN!!! Now ... we finish it with #ReOrg2025!!! A Few Points: We will have move to share ... but here are a few points on Saturday: The Lt. Governor Pamela Evette severely exposed herself. Literally right after the ramrodding she took the stage and started talking about "unity". More like "sit down and shut up"!!! It was a massive slap in the face MAGA / America FIRST Trump supporters ... and something that will likely (unless she comes to the table and fixes it quickly) be terminal to her campaign for Governor in 2026. Jay Ragley ... the education lobbyist TOOL!!! Who was that guy that ramrodded the convention as Temporary & Permanent President? We will have more on him later ... but they are desperate. LEXINGTON SURPRISE?!?!? The "splinter group" in Lexington that has been working with Drew McKissick to illegally oust the duly elected Chair Pamela Goodwin is apparently having issues. We are sure the "splinters" did not vote America FIRST ... but their delegation voted 34/13 and 27/19 in favor of America FIRST candidates. Perhaps they see the CHINA connection? And the multiple booing and heckling of the Drew McKissick anointed Lexington Chair was telling. SC Freedom Caucus EXPOSED??? SC House Reps & Congressional Candidates Adam Morgan (4th) & Stewart Jones (3rd) were openly listed on the SCGOP "establishment" National Delegate slate. IT WAS THE ONLY WAY THEY WERE GETTING ELECTED AS NATIONAL DELEGATES. There seems to be no debate anymore ... they are openly working with Drew against the MAGA / America FIRST Patriots in South Carolina. [NOTE, I personally tried to speak with Stewart Jones about his First Steps leftist legislation debacle ... and he openly refused to speak or address the matter. (HERE)] Laurens County ... Stewart Jones EXPOSED!!! Rep. Stewart Jones was in attendance, and a Lauren's Delegate. But their delegation voted 10 to 0 with the SCGOP "establishment" against America FIRST candidates. You can't wiggle out of that vote. THE NUMBERS ... IT WAS CLOSER THAN IT MAY APPEAR!!! We will discuss it more, but the vote on National Committeewoman was only a 90 vote spread. If just two of our America FIRST counties had shown up our fill compliment of delegates ... that vote would have been completely turned around. If we knew what the SCGOP knew about the numbers, it could have gone the other way. Those mistakes won't be made in #ReOrg2025!!! Why the Ramrodding of the Temporary President? Because the SCGOP knew the numbers were close. They refused to allow a "real" division / hand count vote on the opening Convention Temporary President because Drew can not risk losing. They allowed a division vote in the 2023 Greenville County Convention attempted steal & at the 2024 Forth District Convention ... two conventions where they told everyone they had the numbers ... and they LOST both times!!! Drew will not take the risk again. #ReOrg2025 State Convention ... we must show up with 80% of the delegates!!! Again, overall it was a great day ... and a WIN!!! Now ... we finish it with #ReOrg2025!!!

ELECTIONS & RULES CHANGES ON MAY 4th: This is an important convention. We will be electing South Carolina's National Committeeman & National Committeewoman to the RNC meetings. The current two voted to support Ronna McDaniel ... so this is our chance to replace them. We will also be electing an additional 29 National Delegates & 29 National Alternate Delegates. WE need 58 America FIRST Patriots to join us in Milwaukee. [Deadline is Saturday, April 27th @ noon and pay the $100 fee to have your name on the ballot May 4th ... do so ASAP!!!] There is also rumors that Drew is pushing last minute Rules Changes that will make it harder for America FIRST to win in #ReOrg2025. A little work stopping these changes will save A LOT of work next ReOrg. We need you!!! Soooo ... JOIN US in Columbia on May 4th!!! These off season conventions are usually lightly attended ... but America FIRST works harder and we show up!!!

WE NEED A BIGGER GRASSROOTS "INFRASTRUCTURE" It takes working from the ground up ... from the PRECINCT to the COUNTY to the STATE! A GRASSROOTS "INFRASTRUCTURE": Yes, the dollar numbers are massive at the FEDERAL level ... and we can tackle that later ... but to start, know that patriots DO have a fighting chance at the local level especially if they can build a 24/7/365 grassroots infrastructure that the SCGOP has failed to do. Not just a not so cleverly named "SCGOP Victory" campaign every two years ... but a real YEAR-ROUND mobilization effort to #SaveSouthCarolina!!! TAKE BACK THE GOP!!!: Sure ... the SCGOP "could" do it ... but they don't have the will ... and not to mention Drew McKissick & the SCGOP "major donors" like things just they way they are. So that is why America FIRST Patriots have to start with the GOP and replace the current leadership ... a move that is already afoot here in South Carolina and Nationally. #ReOrg2025!!! WILL "THINK TANKS" HELP?: Yes ... there are a few well funded National & Local "Think Tanks" in South Carolina as well that do good work ... and some that are a real problem like Palmetto Promise Institute & Palmetto Family Council!!!. Unfortunately NONE of them really engage in the grassroots "battle", and it is going to take more more than giving legislators awards and writing policy papers to take South Carolina from the most liberal to the most conservative "Red State" in the Nation. The US Senate campaign fundraising may help put this whole political "monster" in perspective ... but do know the GRASSROOTS don't need anything near that level ... just a tiny fraction ... but they need some fundraising if we want real grassroots change to be LONGTERM. JOIN US! - WE WILL GET IT DONE!
