Dear Friends,
Thanks to the internet and social media, traditional media outlets no longer have a monopoly on where you get your news – making it more difficult for them to hide the truth.
In the last few weeks, I have been attempting to inform the public about the Chairman of the SC Democratic Party’s attempt to use the Supreme Court of SC to raise your taxes by $3 Billion a year.
They are trying to create a backdoor tax increase by suing the state, asking that everything sold in SC be required to have a sales tax on it. That would raise taxes by adding 6% to the cost of groceries, prescription drugs, residential electricity, gasoline, water, and several other things that you buy on a regular basis.

We’ve come to expect slanted (mostly left-leaning) reporting from the mainstream media, and frankly, I was not surprised by recent editorial comments made by The State newspaper on this major case pending before the SC Supreme Court. However, I am now shocked by The State’s blatant censorship.
In the documents they filed in the Supreme Court lawsuit, the Chairman of the SC Democratic Party and others clearly stated that their goal is to raise taxes on all South Carolinians by $3 billion annually and grow government spending 50%.
Downplaying the very real ramifications of the Democratic Party Chairman’s lawsuit, The State newspaper, first of all, knowingly misrepresented and withheld facts about this backdoor tax increase, and then attempted to mislead its readers by censoring attempts to bring this crucial information to light.
The public needs to know about this disregard for the truth. And to get you those facts, I sent The State a Letter to the Editor. Citing indisputable facts easily found in public court documents, I pointed out how their inaccurate reporting was misleading and a disservice to the public they claim to be informing.
That’s right, they actually CHANGED my Letter to the Editor and censored out key details. This is an intentional and blatant attempt by The State to censor the truth.
Why is The State afraid to let you see my entire letter to the editor? Why did they censor my letter and leave out key facts about the case and about their reporting? Why don’t they want you to know exactly what the Democratic Party wants to do with this $3 Billion tax increase?
Again, thanks to the internet, social media and your Grassroots efforts to spread important messages, you can now judge for yourself. Click here to read what The State newspaper didn’t want you to know about this attempt by the Democratic Party to raise your taxes by $3 billion a year.
Our citizens deserve to know the truth driving the Democrats’ backdoor $3 billion tax increase and The State’s censorship of the facts.
I hope that you’ll help us get the word out by forwarding this email to everyone you can. I also hope that you’ll repost this to Facebook and Twitter to ensure the public hears the truth.
Sincerely,
Bobby Harrell
SC Speaker of the House
