Education Petition

Emails are being sent out for people to sign a petition to support a constitutional amendment to insert the words "high quality education" in South Carolina's constitution, replacing the current standard of "a minimally adequate education."

The petition asks the legislature to allow the people of South Carolina to vote on this amendment in the 2010 election, and the principal sponsors of this legislation are State Senator John Matthews Senate District 39 and Representative James Smith House District 72.

Go to www.GoodbyeMinimallyAdequate.com to view or sign the petition.

Ron Paul supports Chuck Baldwin for President

Former GOP presidential candidate, Texas Congressman Ron Paul announced today he is endorsing Constitution Party presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin.

In a letter to supporters, Paul wrote, “I’m supporting Chuck Baldwin, the Constitution Party candidate.”

Paul went on to say, “There is no real choice between the two major parties and their nominees, only the rhetoric varies. The amazingly long campaign is designed to make sure the real issues are ignored.”

Baldwin, a conservative commentator, columnist and pastor of a church in Pensacola, FL, campaigned for Ron Paul during the congressman’s run for president. After receiving Paul’s endorsement, Baldwin said, “I am humbled and deeply grateful to Dr. Paul for his support. There could not be higher praise. I am committed to carrying on the Ron Paul Revolution for a return to constitutionally limited government.

While this is all well and good for Chuck, he's not on the South Carolina ballot.
