Candidates
Alan Wilson
For Attorney General 2010
South Carolina
A combat veteran in Iraq, Alan’s passion for South Carolina and public service will help make him a great Attorney General. He’s a lifetime member of the NRA and is an ardent supporter of the 2nd Amendment. Undoubtedly, Alan will also continue working to protect traditional conservative South Carolina values – like the sanctity of life, traditional marriage between one man and one woman and a balanced state budget.
In times like these when the federal government forces unpopular policies on to states – it’s important Alan be elected – because he’s the only candidate in the race who will fight the federal government and protect South Carolina and the Constitution.
I hope you will join me in supporting Alan Wilson for Attorney General of South Carolina.
Curtis Loftis
For State Treasurer 2010
South Carolina
Unaccounted for money loss won’t continue on Curtis’ watch when he creates a Fraud Detection Unit – to discover and root out fraud, waste and abuse in state government. He also wants to create an Office of Inspector General at the state level that will keep the highest levels of the South Carolina government accountable for how it spends the taxpayers’ money. And these aren’t gimmicks; I know, because we tried something similar in Arkansas while I was Governor . . . and it worked.
With Curtis’ vast experience as a small business owner, serving in the public sector – founding and running a charitable organization – he has just the right perspective and expertise to help solve the problems facing South Carolina’s state government.
I hope you will join me in supporting Curtis Loftis.
Jeff Duncan
For Congress 2010
South Carolina
Jeff was first elected to the South Carolina House in 2002 and since that time he has served the people of the 3rd District with honor and distinction – fighting for lower taxes and against bigger government. Having run his own business, Jeff understands all too well that businesses suffer under high taxes are excessive government regulation. There is no doubt Jeff will take his commonsense solutions to Washington and will work to bring jobs back to South Carolina.
An advocate of traditional values, Jeff believes that life begins at conception and that we should protect the unborn. Jeff believes that marriage is a union between one man and one woman, and will fight any attempt to alter that. He’s a lifetime member of the NRA, truly believes in the 2nd Amendment and will fight to protect the rights of all lawful gun owners.
We need positive change in Washington and we can start by sending Jeff Duncan to Congress. We need more people like Jeff in D.C. to put an end the radical left’s liberal agenda.
Please join me and support Jeff Duncan for Congress.
Joe Wilson
For Congress 2010
South Carolina
Many in DC have forgotten the desires of their constituents, but not Joe Wilson. Joe has consistently fought for South Carolinians – holding firm to the conservative values they hold dear by fight to cut taxes and create jobs. In fact, Joe has proposed a 5 percent tax cut across the board – which clearly flies in the face of the liberal left’s tax-first mentality.
Joe has a proven track record based on the principles of limited government and personal freedoms. He is an advocate for the Second Amendment and believes in a strong national defense, the sanctity of life and traditional marriage between one man and one woman.
His combined 30 years of service in the Army Reserves and National Guard should also tell you what kind of sacrifices Joe is has made and is willing to make for his country.
I hope you will join me in sending Congressman Joe Wilson back to Washington D.C. where he can continue to fight for the people of the 2nd district, South Carolina and the conservative cause around the nation.
Mick Mulvaney
For Congress 2010
South Carolina
Mick was first elected to the South Carolina House in 2006 and then made the move to the South Carolina Senate in 2008. While in office, his focus has remained on doing what’s best for his district and the state. Mick will work hard to bring jobs back to South Carolina, and recognizes that the roll of the federal government is to protect our freedoms – not stifle them with unwanted legislation and increased taxes.
Mick is also a firm believer in the sanctity of life and believes that life begins and conception. To Mick, the issue of life is a personal testament not a political position.
I hope you will join me in supporting Mick Mulvaney – let’s send him to Washington D.C.
To learn more about Mick's campaign visit his website here: http://www.mulvaneyforcongress.com/
Nathan Ballentine
For State House 2010
South Carolina
Nathan’s campaign motto of “people, not politics,” is much more than a simple slogan – it’s what he truly believes. To further demonstrate his passion for the people he selflessly represents, Nathan has committed to donate his entire legislative salary to worthwhile causes in the community.
A legislator that believes public service should be about the people and not personal gains – Nathan Ballentine is the kind of representative in the State House every Governor wish he had the good fortune to work with.
I hope you will join me in supporting Nathan Ballentine for State House District 71.
Rick Quinn
For State House 2010
South Carolina
Rick Quinn is a proven conservative – who at the young age of 23 was elected to the South Carolina House. A firm believer in the 2nd amendment and traditional conservative values like the sanctity of life and marriage between one man and one woman, you don’t have to wonder how Rick will vote on important social or fiscal matters.
I hope you will join me in supporting Rick Quinn.
Steve Moss

South Carolina
Steve is a lifelong resident of Cherokee County. He has been involved in his community for many years, as a member of the Blacksburg Volunteer Fire Department and the volunteer athletic trainer for Blacksburg High School, as well as serving on the boards of several organizations including Rotary, the United Way, Upstate Carolina Medical Center, Cherokee Community Foundation, Cherokee Recreation District, and twice President of the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce.

Tim Scott
For Congress 2010
South Carolina
Tim will fight for the traditional conservative family values of marriage between one man and one woman, and for the sanctity of life – from the moment of conception to its natural conclusion. Also, as an advocate for the second amendment, Tim will work hard to preserve our right to keep and bare arms.
Tim Scott is a strong supporter of the South Carolina Fair Tax, which will simplify the tax code, giving South Carolina a distinct advantage in enticing new business. With soaring unemployment Tim has proven he knows how to jumpstart the economy – he was instrumental in bringing more than 20,000 new jobs to South Carolina while Chairman of the Charleston County Council and the Economic Development Committee.
Tim Scott will represent the values of South Carolina, and will help put an end to the liberal agenda threatening to cripple our economy – he’s got the consistent conservative credentials to do it.

Trey Gowdy
For Congress 2010
South Carolina
Trey believes that lower taxes and ending the out of control spending coming from Washington will help create more jobs through out South Carolina and the country. We simply cannot solve our spending problem by spending more money – and Trey knows that.
He’s a true believer in the sanctity of life and other traditional values, like the right to bear arms, a more limited federal government and a strong national defense.
The people of the 4th District deserve someone who will stand firm in the face Washington’s political pressures. Trey Gowdy is just the man for the job. I hope you will join me in supporting Trey Gowdy for Congress.

Adam Piper: Lemonade stand teaches fundamentals for our future
This month, we celebrated America's birthday, our freedoms and our nation's independence. For me, the hih point of the holiday was not the fireworks of the Fourth with bold colors bursting in mid air amongst the rockets' red glare, but instead a single lemonade stand I passed while driving home from
work on the 2nd of July.
The sight of two junior entrepreneurs shilling "fresh squeezed" lemonade in the Southern summer sun not nly brought back nostalgia from my childhood, but captured the essence of America's future and the adage that if you reach for the stars and work hard enough, anything is possible in America. However, the real refreshment was not the lemonade in the 95 degree heat, but the response I received when I asked if the lemonade was actually fresh squeezed. While the boy ran to get change from his father, his sister pointed to the two empty pitchers and said they were out of the fresh squeezed variety and only had Country Time left.
That is the level of honesty we must demand from our leaders at all levels from City Hall to the State House to Congress to the Oval Office. And when we couple that level of honesty with the kind of unbridled determination to run a successful lemonade stand, we will all be better off than we are today.
Recently, our state and our nation have been mired in political storms of cynicism and doubt. We have forgotten the values of our Founding Fathers and settled for much less. We have grown to accept a 14-digit national debt,failed promises and untruthful politicians as societal norms.
For 233 years, perseverance, hard work and a tradition of one generation leaving things better off for the next built this great land and helped it reach its manifest destiny. Today, this tradition is in jeopardy. Generational theft is occurring in Washington as the economic freedom of my generation and our children and grandchildren is being bartered for the wooden nickel of political patronage and half-hearted handouts.
It is said that before you can reach the mountain top, you must walk through the valley. For my generation, the brave new world we face today is the valley along the way to ensuring America's greatest days are yet to come. However, reaching the mountain top is easier said than done. Getting there
requires a return to the fundamentals which built this country.
This is why we should trade the cynicism and doubt of today for the lemonade stands of tomorrow. We must remember that we live in the greatest nation on the face of this earth and that we should not apologize for being Americans but instead promote freedom at every turn.
Most of all, we must begin each morning in America with a renewal of purpose and a revival of the very principles, ideals and integrity which have governed America for over two centuries. We must return to the spirit of the lemonade stand and look in the mirror each morning with the honesty of youth and the self-respect necessary to reach for the stars and build upon our shining city on the hill.
In doing all of the above, we must realize the decisions being made in both Columbia and the District of Columbia impact not only our today, but our children's tomorrow. We must realize that when Congress passes spending legislation without review or hesitation, it means a future increase on our tax bill. Or when Congress passes Cap and Trade legislation, the consequences are not only higher energy bills, but an additional 1.5 million unemployed Americans.
The decisions being made in Washington are worrisome, but the consequences of those decisions on future generations are far greater. Today, we are on the brink of bankrupting a generation of Americans before they are even born. That is why we must all wake up, look in the mirror, and get back to the fundamentals exemplified by the lemonade stand proprietors and our Founding Fathers alike.
On August 22nd Huck PAC supporters will gather to meet one another and make phone calls on behalf of Huck PAC endorsed candidate Bob McDonnell. Bob is running for Governor of Virginia. He has what it takes to be a great leader for Virginia.

We have witnessed such struggle in the recent uprisings against the radical leadership of Iran by its people. And therein lays this distinction: an uprising, by its people, against a radical and militant suppressive regime. This echoes very similar events in our own history, be it the rejection of colonies governed by a king "in order to form a more
perfect union", or the liberation of a people against suppressive ways of life. This current administration should understand this very simple fact. But sending a letter to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stating the mere rejection of such atrocities and expressing a hope to continue to dialogue with the suppressive regime that controls Iran is pure nonsense. Agreeing completely with Governor Mike Huckabee's statement that the people of Iran are friends while their radical leadership is not, expresses the dilemma to be solved: to protect those who wish for a better and fairer way of life while forcefully condemning those who wish to prevent it.
Indeed, the Ayatollah rebuked this letter, and the questionable President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has demanded that the United States cease its "meddling". It seems the current administration has been doing just that; focusing entirely on domestic issues instead of confronting directly the international implications and threats to freedom of Iran, and subsequently North Korea. By the admission of senior Obama aide, David Axelrod, they are seeking to "forestall some issues for the future." How do you forestall a tough response to continuing protests of a fraudulent election, one that the Ayatollah himself originally admitted to being flawed? How do you forestall any type of sanction against a country's leaders that have wantonly and without regard slaughtered its own people for demanding accountability and fairness in20its government? These are the questions we need to be asking.
Indeed President Washington was against foreign involvement. But he also said, "Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth." And as is the nature of people to want and need to be free, some are denied that choice. Sometimes it is not politically expedient to assist them in their noble cause; it is however, our moral obligation to provide the fertile soil for the tree of liberty that has sprung forth in other lands that we originally cultivated through our heroic examples and our noble deeds to our fellow man.

Some feminists believe life does begin at conception, but their argument is for pro-choice, in that the rights of the mother is to make choices for their unborn child. The birth of a baby is a very important point in our lives. I have had the pleasure and honor to experience the birth of my three beautiful girls. It's important to us from the outside, because a lot of times it's the first time we see the baby, but to the baby it's not nearly as important an event as when that baby was conceived. That's when its DNA schedule is formed and has 23 chromosomes from the father and 23 from the mother giving it its own unique biological imprint for life. All three of my daughter's are as different as night and day. So I am of the opinion that life starts at conception, and that birth is one of the big traumatic experiences, where a lot of things change at once.
Consider the marsupial mammal such as the kangaroo. Their young leave the womb after about one month and spend the rest of its gestation in the pouch. If birth is the beginning of life, when does its life start? When it leaves the womb or when it leaves the pouch? And what about future in vitro human babies who will spend their entire gestation in a lab? Even fertilized eggs, are persons. "Fetal personhood" is important and if Roe v. Wade collapses, the fetus' right to life would be protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.
My opinion is also influenced by the value of an individual's life. The advantages of growing older are unlimited: I feel like I see more than I once did, I notice more, pause more, enjoy people, I love more, and live with greater zest than ever before. Life is beautiful so celebrate it! On May 28, 1962, my mother delivered me to the world; I am filled with gratitude to have had 47 years to celebrate life. How can another human being begin to think it is ok to be the judge and take life celebrations away from an unborn child?
In that I am a pro-life person and I do accept the law of the death penalty, I agree with Governor Huckabee, "A death sentence is a result of a lengthy and thorough judicial process applied to a person deemed guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That is far different from one person singularly deciding to end the life of a totally innocent and helpless unborn child." However, in the process of pro-life, after birth our responsibilities shall not end. To prevent the need for the death penalty we need to continue to be concerned about persons from all walks of life from the beginning, at conception, to the end in death.

I'm so excited! I was recently appointed to be a State Coordinator for South Carolina for Team Huck. Team Huck was founded by Mike Huckabee in an effort to bring conservative Christian values back to our country. I will be one of four state coordinators organizing and rallying the Republicans of our state to come together and get this country back on the right track. We are tasked with organizing the grassroots in our state of South Carolina but every state has a team. Our goal is to have a Group of Volunteers form in every county in the country.
Here's what we are doing:
Team Huck’s mission is to elect strong, common-sense Republicans who support the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, lower taxes, fiscal sanity and a strong national defense. Huck PAC is founded on the principles that make America great: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Our Republican Party embodies these ideas and is best suited to lead America forward.
Huck PAC is committed to helping Republicans regain control of the House and Senate, and regain a majority of governorships and supporting conservative principles around the country. Huck PAC will support Republican candidates who are passionate advocates for tax reform, a strong national defense, real border security, life, the family, less government, and individual liberty.
As part of our effort to support strong Republican candidates, we have formed Team Huck. Team Huck is a grassroots volunteer organization devoted to helping Huck PAC find, endorse, and elect Republican candidates who share our principles. Huck PAC will identify candidates who hold firm to these principles, promote their campaigns and financially support their efforts. Our goal is to identify and support candidates in every state in the country. You can see which candidates we have endorsed by clicking on the candidates section of our website, or by clicking on your home state image in the Team Huck headquarters section of our website. Huck PAC endorsed candidates must be pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, a fiscal conservative and a strong advocate for lower taxes.
Let me know if you have a candidate you would like Team Huck to endorse.
I decided that the direction my country is headed in is not where I want to go. In fact, it's so far off-track that it's starting to be hard to recognize our country anymore. Between the multi-billion dollar bailouts, attacks on religious freedom, the war against traditional marriage and freedom in parenting, and so many others, I was getting more and more frustrated. I've always voted. People who know me know I have always been a big supporter of my party and my beliefs. But it's not enough. I made the decision to get off the sidelines and become more active in protecting my rights as a Christian and a parent and in promoting candidates who share my values and beliefs. If you would like to join us, please go to www.teamhuck.com . Go to the Headquarters and click on your state to see what is happening there.
If you would like to make a donation to HuckPac and Team Huck, please click here. All money collected will be used to support local candidates and strengthen the effort in your local community.
Next Thursday I have the opportunity to attend a private reception in Charlotte for Team Huck and meet Mike Huckabee in person. From what I understand, many of the major Republicans in North and South Carolina will be there along with some other celebrities. I can't wait! If only Jon Bon Jovi weren't a democrat....
My only concern now is finding the perfect outfit. I'm all for traditional values but a girl has to look good too! And I'm pretty sure I need new shoes...
