Government didn't just happen, and our government was not imposed on us, and it has been working for us for quite some time.  But there are many of us today who believe government should just get out of the way.
     If we look at the poor employment figures for South Carolina, we can see firsthand the results of cutting back government.  We have lost jobs in education and in public health and safety.  We have inadequate government funding to build and upgrade roads and schools.  Our electrical grid is fragile.  We have lost opportunities in developing clean energy and moving ahead with fast and efficient public transportation.
     When we lose government jobs, when funding is cut for important government projects and even more jobs are lost, the effect ripples throughout our communities.  Those lost jobs are individuals who have to struggle to pay for the roof over their heads, and are no longer able to spend money in the community.  When that happens to the extent that we have seen over the past years, businesses are forced to cut back, and more jobs are lost.
     South Carolina House Representative for District 115 Peter McCoy has fought over the past two years to chop and slash government spending, so that big tax savings can go to big business.  He does not recognize the damage that those tax cuts do in terms of loss of government jobs and services, and contracts to small businesses to improve our communities.  In fact, those tax cuts he brags about actually cost us more in lost services.
     When will private sector jobs come back?  Those jobs will come back when people in the community have the financial security that will allow them to spend and grow their neighbors' small businesses.  When those small businesses grow, they hire.
     Carol Tempel understands the way government jobs fuel our communities, and our businesses.  This is why she will fight for smart taxation and spending, so that Charleston and South Carolina can begin to grow again.

It's not even close to Halloween but South Carolina's Representative in Congress, Tim Scott, is sending out those scary emails.  After letting us know that he wouldn't be allowed (because of those nasty Democrat regulations) to communicate with us before the election, he proceeds to show us exactly why such a rule, even convoluted as he describes it, exists.

The most important message Scott can send out at this time is to, for God's sake, stop those Democrats from getting away with the tax hikes that are going to send us "over the fiscal cliff" at the end of the year.


Well, Bobbie Rose is not afraid of Tim Scott's scary stories.  She knows that it was the Bush tax cuts that "sent us over the cliff" as far as the deficit is concerned, and that it will take job security to bring economic health back to the small businesses here in South Carolina.  Good and necessary government jobs don't just improve our children's education, but put teachers back on the payroll and off the unemployment rolls.  When teachers are back to work, they are able to spend money in their communities.  When small businesses increase earnings, they grow, and when they grow, they hire.


We can move forward, with Federal programs to increase fuel efficiency, to create businesses that innovate and strengthen our environment, rather than continue to support the old dirty fuel corporate interests that get Tim Scott's votes.  Scott would have us believe that regulation is a dirty word, when in fact, keeping our towns and waterways clean and safe through smart regulation is what is really good for business, and for the people of South Carolina.


So those tax hikes that Tim Scott wants us to run from in horror are actually the fuel that the high earners need to give back to create those good government jobs.  That will begin to create the upward spiral that has been stalled by Tea Party fanatics like Scott.


Bobbie Rose is the woman who will fight to get the government working for us again.  Teachers, police, firefighters, roads and bridges, schools, power grids, public transportation; this is what we need here in South Carolina to get us growing again.


We need to say no to the message of fearmongering that Representative Tim Scott sends us, and we need to let Bobbie Rose truly bring jobs back to South Carolina.
