When the Same Old Thing Doesn't Work

Carol Tempel knows what works and what doesn't.  She has run a successful small business, and she has been a top school administrator right here in Charleston.  Now she wants to put her talents to work for a greater goal -- she wants to change the downward spiral of education, jobs and quality of life in Charleston and in South Carolina.


Her opponent, Peter McCoy, doesn't just follow the Tea Party dictum of cut taxes and services, he doesn't just believe that less government is ALWAYS better government, he has worked in Columbia for nearly two years to cut services to hard working South Carolinians.  His latest scheme is to give back $280 to families with school-aged children and tell them, "Good luck finding a quality education with that."


Carol knows that when public education is done right, it is the best value democracy can offer.  But when our legislators chop at our education funds year after year, we are left with fewer teachers, larger classes, buildings falling into disrepair, school programs that have fallen behind for want of supplies and technology.


Yet Peter McCoy continues to believe that if we just chop a little more off, the problem will fix itself.


It hasn't happened yet, and it's not going to.


So give your support and your vote to Carol Tempel for South Carolina House #115.

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.
