Vincent Sheheen for Governor, South Carolina
Our state deserves better than the failed and dysfunctional government it has received from our current politicians, Vincent writes. Three years ago, we came so very close to changing South Carolina for the better. Now we can finish the job together.

Greeting from President

My Fellow Democrats:
February
greetings to you all! The Democratic Club of Beaufort County
South of the Broad held our monthly steering committee meeting Wednesday,
February 13th. In this meeting we unanimously agreed to support
Elizabeth Colbert-Busch for Congress.
The
County held a forum with Elizabeth Colbert-Busch and Ben Frasier on Tuesday,
February 12th. As a result of the forum, the County Executive
Committee endorsed Elizabeth Colbert-Busch for Congress.
Now we
have another chance to elect a true blue Democrat to represent us in this newly
redrawn first district. On Tuesday, Elizabeth said, “We can do this.
Charleston County went for Obama in November!” In other words, the first
district is progressive and Democratic. The main goal is to get our Democratic
and Independent voters to the polls with state issued I.D’s in hand.
Democratic and
Republican primaries occur on
March 19th. There will be a second primary, (for
Republicans most likely), April 2nd
if no candidate gets 50% of the vote.
The special election, to elect our new first
congressional district representative will be May 7th. The election
commission is already advertising I.D.’s are required. Currently the County
Democratic Party has a committee making sure our voters all have I.D.’s. Again,
they will be required.

The
Colbert-Busch campaign will be opening an office in Bluffton. You don’t want to
miss being a part of this special election or as Mark Rubio said in his
Republican response to The President’s State of the Union Address, “Do you want
to be responsible for America’s decline”? I sure don’t.
John
Giles- President of the Democratic Club of Beaufort County
