As the old saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Well, in South Carolina, we have a legislature that:
 

• Favors judges with liberal agendas and good ol’ boy connections
• Spends money faster than South Carolinians can pay
• Supports an education system that keeps our kids at the bottom of the list

Doesn’t that sound like something’s broken?

You can help fix it.

We need whatever help you can give, but most of all we need your voice.

We need you to stand with us and convince the General Assembly that we need:
            1) A judiciary that fairly applies the rule of law – a law based on South Carolina values
            2) A government that balances its checkbook like we do at our kitchen tables
            3) Changes in our schools so that our kids can realize their full potential and compete nationally and globally.

Help us convince the General Assembly that we need a South Carolina that demands excellence, not one stuck in mediocrity.

JUDICIAL SEPARATION OF POWER

In South Carolina, the legislature elects our judges.

Even on the surface, that doesn’t sound like a separation of powers. Does it? Of course it doesn’t. That’s why no other state elects judges that way.

It means that the same group making the laws picks the people who interpret them.

If you happen to be a former legislator who voted for public funding of abortion and voted against our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, and you’re elected to the state Supreme Court, you become the one interpreting the laws you helped pass or tried to defeat.

You get to do it without any public input and without a popular vote. You’re chosen by the people you served with, and you’re chosen even though an unbiased judicial evaluation ranked you third among your two opponents.

What happens if you’re a former legislator and a current legislator works for you? What if the former legislator’s wife wants to move from a trial court judgeship to state Supreme Court justice?

It’s simple. You have your legislator employee make deals to support the liberal former legislator for the Supreme Court this time so that your wife gets the next court vacancy?

Well, that works unless you get double-crossed by the people who made the deal.

This is how we elect judges in South Carolina, and until we speak up to challenge the status quo, nothing will change.

Help us convince the General Assembly that we need a judiciary that fairly applies the rule of law – a law based on South Carolina values.

OUT OF CONTROL STATE SPENDING

The South Carolina General Assembly successfully increased state government spending by 41% over the past three years.

Did your family’s income increase by that much?

No. It didn’t.

In 2007, South Carolina’s per capita income only grew by 4.2% -- ranking 46th among the other states and Washington, DC
