I am asking you to join the Democratic Club of Beaufort County South of the Broad for 2010. We intend to continue being an informed, energetic Democratic presence in Beaufort County. 2008 was a great year for Democrats. Obviously, the election of Barack Obama on November 4th was the highlight, but there was much more to celebrate. You made our Club a force in our community.
We have much to do. We need your support and participation. Please sign up! Sincerely, David Rice, President Democratic Club of Beaufort County South of the Broad The Democratic Club of Beaufort County South of the Broad sponsored a luncheon on Tuesday March 9th at which the featured speaker was Rob Miller. Mr. Miller is the democratic candidate from the 2nd District who will oppose Joe Wilson of “you lie” fame for a seat in the House of Representatives.
The luncheon was a great success. The over 100 members of South of the Broad had the chance to hear first hand about Mr. Miller and his goals and aspirations for the people of the Low Country.
Mr. Miller placed great emphasis on his aim to serve the people of South Carolina first and foremost. He told his personal story as a citizen of the Low Country, a family man and a United States Marine and how those experiences formed his philosophy of governing. He promised that the well being of the people of South Carolina would be his primary objective if elected to serve in the House of Representatives.
This luncheon program provided the members of South of the Broad an opportunity to meet the candidate, engage in face to face interchanges regarding topics of interest and arrive at an informed decision as to the candidate’s ability to govern.

More than 350 people joined the SOB to celebrate the opening of our new offfice. It was so packed that people spilled out of the building. Children from Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Achievement School and singers from the Voices of El Shaddai contributed in sound and tone! Notably, 205 voters pledged their support for Obama that day!

Fellow Democrats – Saturday afternoon (9/12/09) about
50 Democratic supporters (including Sue and me) from around the County
met in front of Representative Wilson’s Beaufort office on Port Republic
Street to protest Wilson’s un-American conduct during President Obama’s
address to Congress. This was a peaceful but lively event and was
pulled together entirely through emails and telephone calls as so many
of us were outraged by Wilson’s crude behavior. You'll be pleased to
know that we outnumbered the Republican counter-demonstrators by about 8
to 1. We chanted “Joe must go” and “No more Joe” at the opposition. A
fair number of media and press representatives were there and this
demonstration has been reported by the Island Packet/Beaufort Gazette,
and, I've been told that I was seen on the evening news waving my sign.
After about an hour, we ended by singing “God Bless America” and then
stuffed our signs in Wilson’s office door mail box slot as a Monday
morning reminder that there are many of us in Beaufort County who are
appalled by his behavior.
As a next step we ask that you take on at least one of these action measures:
Here are a few useful facts about Joe Wilson:
And here are several photos from Saturday’s rally outside of Wilson’s office,
