The GOP nomination is NOT a done deal

The leftwing media are thrilled to gloat that Romney's got it after yesterday's poll in Texas. They're thrilled by his very existence -- that is, until he gets elected, if that should be the case. But neither he nor they are living in the real world, because (1) Romney is a monster of conservatiberal duplicity, (2) the media push an agenda that's a clear mortal danger to everything, and (3) Ron Paul is the only true presidential hope SINCE SENATOR ROBERT TAFT exactly 60 years ago, or maybe PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE. Just in this morning thanks to Truskeyfarm, a great participant in the PN-Friends Patriot Network egroup, is an apparently "mainstream" TV news report hollowing out the latest Romney "victory": Ben Swann: Mitt Romney Did Not Win The Nomination [link] or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju4Vyny2BN4&feature=player_embedded or http://youtu.be/ju4Vyny2BN4 Now this from Columbia, SC. Please act -- I just did! /\/.\/\/. The Freedom of Information Act Sunshine bill, H3235, passed out of committee Tuesday! Thanks for all your phone calls and e-mails. However, it is not time to relax yet! In order to get this bill passed this year, it MUST be put on SPECIAL ORDER. Special order is the term used for the list of bills that get first priority for consideration in the Senate. With only a week in session to go, if this bill doesn’t make it on special order, it will never get passed! So, this is what I need you to do: Call AND e-mail your Senator RIGHT NOW and tell them to support putting H3235 on special order. You can find out who your Senator is and his contact information at this link. The entire Senate votes on the motion to put a bill on special order. So contacting your senator is CRITICAL to getting this bill on special order. The decision on whether or not to even make the motion to put the bill on special order will happen in the caucus meetings that are held Wednesday at 12:00. These caucus meetings are closed door meetings where each party meets privately to discuss what they want to do. So, your Senator MUST hear from you before noon Wednesday. Contact your State Senator RIGHT NOW. You can find out who your Senator is and his contact information at this link. The Legislature adjourns for the year on June 7th. Time is short and we must act now!! This is our last chance to pass this bill! If we don’t act now South Carolina lawmakers will continue to hide behind their exemption to the Freedom of Information Act. You’ll remember when they ignored the voters and passed a Department of Administration bill that did not make the reforms that the voters asked for. Right afterwards, using the Freedom of Information Act, many of you helped us ask for copies of their e-mails, memo’s, and notes that had any communication about the DoA bill. We wanted these documents so we could find out who was influencing their decision to ignore the voters. Most lawmakers responded that they would not give us the information because they are exempt from the Freedom of Information Act! Stunning! They work for us! H3235 will fix three problems: It will remove the legislature’s exemption from the Freedom of Information Act. It will limit the fees that they can charge for copies of documents to the market rate for copies. There was testimony in the House committee hearings on this bill about people who were charged exorbitant copy fees by local governments. It will limit the delay before the information is made available. There was additional testimony from those who were simply stonewalled and delayed so long that by the time they got the requested information, it was no longer useful. These changes to the Freedom of Information Act are critical to our ability to hold government accountable to the people. Without it, you and I are blind! In short, this bill dies if it is not put on SPECIAL ORDER immediately. We’ve made it this far, let’s not drop the ball now! Follow this link to find your Senator and his contact information. Simply tell him to support putting H3235, the Freedom of Information Act Sunshine bill, on special order immediately! Remember, without H3235 there is no real accountability and transparency in the South Carolina legislature! Best regards, Talbert Black Jr. Palmetto Liberty PAC P.S. There is only one week left to pass the FOIA Sunshine bill, H3235. It will eliminate the ridiculous legislative exemption from the SC FOIA law. If it doesn’t pass, the legislature will be able to continue to ignore all requests for information that falls under their special exemption. We can’t allow that to happen! Contact your Senator RIGHT NOW and tell him to put H3235 on special order IMMEDIATELY. follow on Twitter | friend on Facebook | forward to a friend Copyright © 2012 Palmetto Liberty PAC, All rights reserved.
