House Leadership Caters to the Left At the Expense of Your Daughters...
...and Your Pocketbook
As the first year of this session draws to a close, a litany of key issues remain stagnant, even issues House Leadership purportedly supports begging the question: why aren’t they prioritizing their own espoused priorities?
One key issue which we want to highlight is the protection of female spaces which is an extension of the Save Women’s Sports bill that SCFC founding member, Ashley Trantham, passed in 2022. Protecting girls' spaces like locker rooms and school bathrooms is supported by the Trump Administration as well as nearly all Republicans, and has been filed again this year by Speaker Pro Tempore Tommy Pope (York). Yet, Judiciary Chairman, Weston Newton (Beaufort), refuses to move the bill which would ultimately strengthen parental rights in South Carolina as well as protect our ladies in private spaces.
Chairman Newton is also the same alleged Republican who refuses to move pro-life legislation, has appointed a Planned Parenthood-endorsed Democrat to a Subcommittee Chairmanship, and is currently fighting tooth and nail with conservatives to move tax subsidies for woke Hollywood film companies. The latter is the crux of his issue with protecting lady’s spaces: the leftist film companies he is using your tax dollars to coax to film in South Carolina will not come if we stand for sanity and protect women’s spaces from the leftist gender mob.
Chairman Newton’s track record this year includes failing to protect the unborn, failing to protect young ladies, and subsidizing the attack on our traditional values and culture with your own money.
Our solution is simple: Speaker Murrell Smith must demand Chairman Newton move both pro-life legislation and the protection of female spaces legislation immediately or remove him as Chairman of the Committee.
It’s time to bring sanity back to the chamber, stand up for the most vulnerable, protect parent’s God-given rights to raise their children, and stop subsidizing the attack on our values with our own money. The House Republican Caucus claimed this legislation was one of the pillars of their platform, it’s time to make good on that promise and move the legislation.
Thank God for the SC Freedom Caucus. There is a real need for some logic, common sense and conservatism in Columbia. Every year the "Republican" majority moves more towards the socialist left. More and more appointments by the GOP legislature, and by supposed Republican Governor Henry McMaster, are given away to Uni-party butt kissers, instead of benefitting the cause of conservatism. As even our chosen legislation is compromised with/by the leftists, laws passed do nothing to protect our freedom and liberties or ease the financial burden on taxpayers. I realize that the Freedom Caucus is limited in their effectiveness by their small number, but it is imperative that you fight every issue which adversely affects our conservative majority of voters. Keep fighting, we have your back.
Unbelievable! Why are Republicans behaving like this when they have a clear majority in the House and Senate? Drew McKissick should be ashamed and calling out GOP leadership in our SC congress. Never rest on your laurels in politics! One can be absolutely certain that Democrats are NOT!
And with respect to our electricity, why are Santee Cooper and Berkeley Coop raising costs to their customers after years of pushing solar farms and solar roofs, and shutting down coal fired plants and nuclear? Solar is land gobbling, intermittent and short lived. The disposal of toxic solar panels has not been thought through and will be a future huge burden on SC taxpayers. Gas, coal and nuclear provide a constant source of electricity with little complications on our grid. Solar is the extreme opposite with complex grid tie ins and, again, interriment electricity (nighttime, clouds, rain, pollen etc) and easily destroyed by hail and high winds (we have the odd hurricane in our state?).
