State Senators, please stand up for our 1st Amendment rights
The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights applies to us all. It is past time for South Carolina to have anti-SLAPP laws which preclude the rich and powerful from trampling on our First Amendment rights. I urge Tom Davis and Chip Campsen, as well as all South Carolina senators, to ensure this legislation passes this year.
Preparation time
As I wrote in my first article, there is more to life than politics. There will be plenty of opportunities to reflect on government officials and 2026 elections as the year progresses. Now is the time to appreciate the natural world’s prelude to heaven: spring and the glory of Easter.
