What we do

Our club meets monthly usually during the months of September to May. At these meetings we socialize and discuss various topical issues and plan activities. We also have monthly luncheons with speakers on various topics of interest. We facilitate panel discussions and movies which address issues of concern to us all, such as health care, education and taxation.

During election years, we normally staff an office with volunteers who support Democratic campaigns of various candidates and provide support to the Democratic Party via a call center, door-to-door canvassing in our 'Get Out The Vote' efforts, inviting candidates to speak to our Club and the public, and assist in voter registration.

During the holiday season we hold a Brunch which is usually attended by Democrats from the State and National level. In the summer, our Club picnic provides another opportunity to meet, socialize and listen to candidates.

Greeting from President

Obama in 2012 Date: 2013-02-14

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. To learn more or apply for an absentee ballot, go to http://www.bcgov.net/departments/Community-Services/voter-registration-and-elections/.

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 South of the Broad
