You know we're in legislative session when you get a multitude of updates on Calls-to-Action!

GPC strives to simplify the complexity of this season, to keep you well-informed, and in a position to make a difference. Choosing to be a part of Greenville Patriot Caucus means being a part of the solution - but that doesn't come without hard work and diligence.

CALL TO ACTION: Get DEI Out of SC!
- By SC Freedom Caucus
Big news—tomorrow, after the SC House of Representatives adjourns, a House Education and Public Works Subcommittee will hold a hearing on SCFC member Josiah Magnuson’s DEI bill.
The bill’s number is H.4290. If passed, it will drastically reduce the negative and divisive impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in our colleges and universities.
DEI (also known as Discrimination, Exclusion, and Indoctrination) is the practice of Marxist critical theory. It is an anti-American ideology that rejects individual responsibility, accomplishment, and merit in favor of socialism and class warfare based on race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion. It also promotes revisionist history and Left-wing activism intent on upending alleged “systemic oppression.”
Taxpayer money should never be used to undermine our values, silence speech, and indoctrinate our youth.

Huge Win for 2A Rights and Petty Politics on Full Display
- By SC Freedom Caucus
RINOs Work with Dems to Save Face
We've seen some wild things in Columbia, but maybe none as wild as this.
To recap, the SC House passed a decent Constitutional Carry Bill and sent it to the SC Senate last year. The Senate gutted the bill, creating constitutionally questionable classes of gun owners, and exempting legislators from gun laws that our constituents would have to follow.
The SC Freedom Caucus, from the moment the Senate passed their watered-down version, called for the House to amend the bill back to its original form.

OPPOSE South Carolina Ranked-choice Voting Bill H.4022
- By The John Birch Society
Members of the South Carolina General Assembly are seeking to pass legislation that would implement ranked-choice voting (RCV) in the state. The General Assembly must reject RCV and the detrimental effects it would have on election integrity.
House Bill 4022 (H.4022) is sponsored by one Democrat and one Republican — a “bipartisan” bill that pushes South Carolina and its voting standards away from sound, Americanist principles.
If enacted, this bill would allow municipalities to implement RCV — labeled “instant runoff voting” in the bill — in their own elections. This would be a major step, and a slippery slope, toward RCV in all South Carolina elections.

Ex-lawmakers, Others with Legislative Ties Often Shoo-Ins for S.C. Judicial Seats
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Judicial elections that were expected to occur today in the S.C. Legislature have been postponed indefinitely, the apparent outcome of a threatened filibuster last year by a state senator pushing for judicial reform.
But whenever the next elections are held, lawmakers could put a former longtime legislator on the bench – in keeping with their longstanding practice of favoring ex-lawmakers and others with legislative ties for court seats.
Ex-House member and attorney James Smith of Columbia, who was the unsuccessful Democratic nominee in the 2018 governor’s election, is the sole candidate for a 5th Circuit Court seat after the only other nominated candidate dropped out – a common move before elections by nominees after tallying expected legislative votes.

Records: SC Offered Scout Motors Far Sweeter Deal Compared to MS
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
The $1 billion taxpayer-funded gift that S.C. lawmakers last year approved for the Scout Motors electric vehicle plant was seven times more than what officials in Mississippi, which lost out to South Carolina, were willing to offer in state grant funding through special legislation, records obtained by The Nerve show.
And, in addition to the vehicle assembly plant, Scout Motors, which German-based Volkswagen created in 2022, sought Mississippi incentives for a battery cell production “giga” factory, according to the company’s incentives wish list, known as a “request for proposal” (RFP), which The Nerve obtained earlier this month from the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) under that state’s open-records law.

Laws for Thee but not for Me...
- By SC Freedom Caucus
Do you support the Second Amendment? Then you’ll need to read this.
There is a lot of information swirling around the “Constitutional Carry” bill passed by the SC House and recently amended by the SC Senate. But one change made by the Senate isn't getting the attention it deserves.
If this bill passes as is, members of the General Assembly will be exempt from punishment if they violate gun laws.

Scout Motors Threatens Legal Action Against The Nerve
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Scout Motors is threatening to take The Nerve to court if it publishes “confidential and proprietary” information contained in an incentives wish list that the Volkswagen company submitted to the state of Mississippi, which lost out to South Carolina for an electric vehicle assembly plant.
In a Jan. 24 formal notice of intent to take legal action, Jason Fortenberry, one of the Jackson, Miss., attorneys representing Scout Motors, warned The Nerve that the company will file a protective order petition in the Hinds County Chancery Court in Jackson by tomorrow unless The Nerve “withdraws or modifies” its request for the incentives wish list.

Biden's Ministry of Truth Coming to SC?
- By SC Freedom Caucus
There is a viral clip of an SC High School senior addressing her local School Board making the rounds on the internet. In it, a young woman steps to the microphone and publicly denounces her "conservative, Republican, Christian" father. She characterizes his deeply held convictions as "one-sided bigoted beliefs" and derides the “detrimental effect he has had on [her] life.”
The young lady admits she was "inspired” to speak out by her english teachers and that she couldn't have come to these conclusions without her teachers' support.

‘Stand with Texas’: Governors Back Lone Star State’s Self-Defense on Border
- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
The governor of Texas is declaring his state has a right to self-defense against the “invasion” of unimpeded illegal immigration, and other red state governors are standing in solidarity. On Wednesday afternoon, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) issued a statement on the state’s constitutional right to self-defense in light of the Biden administration’s persistent negligence in securing the border. “The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States,” Abbott wrote. “The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now. President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them.”

Far Left Democrat Judge Coming to SC?
- By SC Freedom Caucus
Another Black Eye on the Republican Supermajority
The way South Carolina selects judges is rife with corruption and conflicts of interests—lawyer legislators handpick the very judges they argue cases in front of and ballots are counted in secret by legislators to avoid on the record votes.
Sadly, time and time again, those judges are liberals who legislate from the bench despite the fact that Republicans hold supermajorities in both Chambers. Even more surprisingly, these judges are often spouses, immediate family members, or law partners of sitting legislators—or even former legislators themselves.
So who is the establishment’s top pic for judge this time? Former Democrat lawyer-legislator and former Democratic Party nominee for governor James Smith.

Bridge, Road Work in SC Still Moving Slowly with Gas-tax-hike Money
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
In recently announcing his proposed nearly $41 billion total state budget for fiscal 2025, Gov. Henry McMaster recommended using a projected $500 million school-fund surplus for emergency bridge replacement and repairs.
“Many of these bridges are 60, 70 and even in excess of 80 years old and are crumbling before our eyes each day,” McMaster said in a Jan. 5 press release. “Too many have been closed, while others are in such a state of disrepair that the required restrictions render them useless for commercial trucking, school buses, or fire trucks needed to serve our state’s increasing population.”

SC House Passes Bill to Ban Childhood Gender Transitions!
- By South Carolina Freedom Caucus
But not before the RINOs get a beatdown from the grassroots.
The South Carolina House of Representatives passed the “Help, Not Harm Bill” today.
This bill bans genital mutilation surgery (also known as transgender surgery), puberty blockers, and hormone therapy for anyone under the age of 18.
The bill also prohibits state funds from being used directly or indirectly for gender transitions.
Freedom Caucus member SC Rep. Stewart Jones (R-Laurens) filed a bill to ban these harmful procedures that cause irrevocable injury over a year ago. Sadly, liberal House leadership didn’t give the bill a hearing and sat on this important legislation while kids were being harmed for over 13 months.

Eagle Forum Applauds Appeals Court Decision to Allow Alabama to Protect Vulnerable Children
- By Eagle Forum
Children in Alabama Should be Helped, Not Harmed by Irreversible Treatments
Eagle Forum, together with Alabama Eagle Forum, applauds the decision of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to lift the injunction against the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection (VCAP) Act and allow the law to go into effect pending a decision on the merits expected later this year.
“We are grateful for the decision by the 11th Circuit to allow Alabama to enforce protections for vulnerable children suffering from gender dysphoria. The so-called ‘treatments’ with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones permanently alter the healthy bodies of children and impair their futures. The action by the Court yesterday will finally allow the VCAP law to go into effect after more than 18 months of delay,” said Eagle Forum President Kris Ullman.
