U.S. Senator U.S. Senator Jim DeMint Lindsey Graham Dear Friends, The 2010 elections are our first step in rebuilding our Party, and South Carolina must continue to lead the way for the rest of the country. We have both been privileged to work with our Chairman, Katon Dawson, to grow the South Carolina Republican Party. The Chairman’s job is a daunting one and requires tremendous dedication and sacrifice. South Carolina Republicans owe Katon and Candy Dawson a huge debt of gratitude for their dedication and service. The best way to thank them is to continue to build upon the foundation Katon has laid. And that is why we are writing you today. We have identified a leader who is uniquely qualified to help lead our South Carolina Republican Party. He was tested in the toughest battles and has played a key role in nearly every top-of-the-ticket campaign in South Carolina over the last decade. This leader is Kevin Hall. From coordinating phone banks to assisting in campaign strategy, he has served in just about every volunteer role possible. Throughout all of his service, he never made a dime from the campaigns he’s helped. He does it because he is a true believer in our party and in the conservative cause. He does it because he understands that if we’re going to reclaim our credibility as Republicans, we must recruit and support candidates who will be true to our ideals and principles. And today we are asking you to join us in supporting Kevin to become the next Chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party. Kevin’s philosophy of volunteerism is exactly what built our Party’s grassroots organization. Who better to recruit and organize new volunteers for our party than someone who has volunteered so much of his own time and talent. Kevin has also been extraordinarily successful in fundraising for Republican candidates. Not only has he served in prominent finance roles in both of our campaigns, but he co-chaired the 2008Victory Finance Committee for the SCGOP. He knows the lifeblood of any successful campaign is the financial ability to get our message to the voters. These are challenging times for the Republican Party and we need Kevin Hall to serve as our next Chairman of the SCGOP. Please join us and fill out the attached response card to become part of the Hall for Chairman team today. This election cycle is too important to sit on the sidelines. Sincerely, Jim DeMint Lindsey Graham United States Senator United States Senator NOT PAID FOR AT TAXPAYERS’ EXPENSE.

Capitol Insurrection at Center of Conservative Movement
Capitol Insurrection At Center Of Conservative Movement: At Least 43 Governors, Senators And Members Of Congress Have Ties To Groups That Planned January 6th Rally And Riots. SUMMARY: On January 6, 2021, a rally in support of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election “turned deadly” when thousands of people stormed the U.S. Capitol at Donald Trump’s urging. Even Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who rarely broke with Trump, has explicitly said, “the mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the President and other powerful people.” These “other powerful people” include a vast array of conservative officials and Trump allies who perpetuated false claims of fraud in the 2020 election after enjoying critical support from the groups that fueled the Capitol riot. In fact, at least 43 current Governors or elected federal office holders have direct ties to the groups that helped plan the January 6th rally, along with at least 15 members of Donald Trump’s former administration. The links that these Trump-allied officials have to these groups are: Turning Point Action, an arm of right-wing Turning Point USA, claimed to send “80+ buses full of patriots” to the rally that led to the Capitol riot, claiming the event would be one of the most “consequential” in U.S. history. • The group spent over $1.5 million supporting Trump and his Georgia senate allies who claimed the election was fraudulent and supported efforts to overturn it. • The organization hosted Trump at an event where he claimed Democrats were trying to “rig the election,” which he said would be “the most corrupt election in the history of our country.” • At a Turning Point USA event, Rep.

November 20, 2019 the Honorable Mitch Mcconnell Majority Leader
November 20, 2019 The Honorable Mitch McConnell Majority Leader United States Senate 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Leader McConnell, The undersigned conservatives urge you to modify the Continuing Resolution recently passed by the House of Representatives to extend government funding for a full year. As we outlined in the attached letter, signed by over 100 conservative leaders, a CR into December gives leverage to Democrat demands on key issues, including significant pro-life policies, border spending, and other key areas. This is reflected in the partisan vote in which the CR passed the House, with 219 Democrats voting in favor, joined by only 12 Republicans. From both a strategic and fiscal perspective, we believe a CR into December would be an error. For both these reasons and those outlined in the attached letter, we urge the Senate to modify the timeline of the current CR to allow for full deliberation and debate of critical spending issues in 2020. Sincerely, Alfred S. Regnery Tom McClusky Chairman, Conservative Action Project President Chairman, Law Enforcement Legal Defense March for Life Action Fund The Honorable Colin A.

For 53 years, South Carolina Republicans have gathered together each year to forget... celebrate our party’s conservative principles, as well as the donors and activists who help promote those principles in our government. While our Party has enjoyed increasing success in the years since our Elephant Club was formed, we always have to remember that no victories are ever perma- nent. They are dependent on our continuing to be faithful to do the fundamen- tals: communicating a clear conservative message that is relevant to voters, identifying and organizing fellow Republicans, and raising the money to make it all possible. As we gather this evening on the anniversary of the tragic terrorists attacks on our homeland in 2001, we’re reminded about what’s at stake in our elections this year - the protection of our families, our homes, our property, our borders and our fundamental values. This year’s election offers us an incredible opportunity to continue to expand our Party.

Demint Holds Solid Lead for Reelection
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 27, 2010 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 DeMint holds solid lead for reelection Raleigh, N.C. – Jim DeMint’s poll numbers aren’t great but with an opponent who’s currently an unknown and President Obama unpopular in the state he leads by 19 points in his bid for a second term in the Senate. 43% of voters in the state approve of the job DeMint is doing with 36% disapproving. His reviews are as polarized as you would expect them to be. 67% of Republicans approve of him with 15% disapproving, while only 14% of Democrats like him with 59% disapproving. Independents are split right down the middle at 42%. Vic Rawl, DeMint’s likely general election opponent, is currently an unknown to 82% of voters in the state. DeMint leads him 49-30. Those numbers are likely to tighten since 30% of Democrats are undecided while only 11% of Republicans are. But DeMint does enjoy a 48-27 advantage with independents. Voters do appear to be pushing back some against DeMint’s increasing role in the national spotlight. 39% of voters think he’s not spending enough of his time advocating for South Carolina in the Senate while 38% think the amount he’s spending is about right. There’s little support in the state for DeMint making a 2012 Presidential run. Only 15% of voters would like to see him aim for the White House while 56% are opposed to a bid and 29% have no opinion.

Introduction
IMMIGRATION_Ch01.qxd 21/11/07 4:43 PM Page 1 Chapter 1 Introduction “America, at its best, is a welcoming society. We welcome not only immigrants themselves but the many gifts they bring and the values they live by.” So said President George W. Bush at a naturalization ceremony for new citizens at Ellis Island in July 2001. The fifty million immigrants admitted legally to the United States in the twentieth century alone lends substantial credibility to Bush’s words and to the old adage that “America is a nation of immigrants.” Indeed, immi- grants seeking their freedom and fortune and fulfilling the American dream have become part of the nation’s mythology. No symbol of this is more potent than the Statue of Liberty and no words more poignant than those of Emmas Lazarus inscribed upon it: Give me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teaming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! And yet the history of immigration to the United States is far from unambiguously positive, as Bush’s “at its best” caveat recognizes. His qualification implies that Americans have ambivalent attitudes towards immigrants and immigration and that the broadly positive welcome afforded immigrants has been punctuated by a series of anti-immigrant episodes throughout American history. Many potential immigrants have been refused entry and many new immigrants persecuted because of their skin color or religion. Others have been excluded because the resident population decided they burdened schools, hospitals, and welfare rolls, because they took the jobs of native-born workers, and because they avoided taxes.

Remarks the Honorable Jim Demint March 2013
Remarks The Honorable Jim DeMint March 2013 SENATOR DEMINT: I see so many faces here in the room who have had my back over the last several years as I have waded into some pretty big fights, with my own leadership sometimes and all across the country, but I see you here and I want to thank you. This reminds me of the collective power of the Conservative Movement and the possibilities that we have. I remember when I was a freshman congressman, I was elected in 1998, my chief of staff and scheduler were in my office going through things that I had been invited to and I had just come from the business world, never been in politics. I had no idea what CNP was and they just said I had been invited to go to some function in D.C. for CNP and I told them I didn’t want anything else to do at night, I just want to go to the gym or something. My chief of staff stopped and said “It is not an option. This is the premier conservative group in the country -- you have to go to this.” Ever since, every time I am invited to a CNP, I am going. If I have to cancel my daughter’s wedding to come out, I’m here for you. A lot of people wonder why I would leave the United States Senate and the ranking Member on the powerful Commerce Committee to go to The Heritage Foundation. Why would I leave the most debilitating body in the world to join you as leaders of the freedom movement in our country? Why would I do that? I think the answer is pretty obvious -- that the President and this Congress are not going to solve our problems.

1 in the Shadow of Trump: How the 2016 Presidential Contest Affected
In the Shadow of Trump: How the 2016 Presidential Contest Affected House and Senate Primaries Prepared for the 2017 State of the Parties Conference, Akron, Ohio Robert G. Boatright, Clark University [email protected] The presidential race did not quite monopolize all of the uncivil or bizarre moments of the summer of 2016. One of the more interesting exchanges took place in Arizona in August of 2016, during the weeks before the state’s Senate primary election. Senator John McCain, always a somewhat unpredictable politician, has had difficulties in his last two primaries. Perhaps because he was perceived as having strayed too far toward the political center, or perhaps simply because his presidential bid had created some distance between McCain and Arizonans, he faced a vigorous challenge in 2010 from conservative talk show host and former Congressman J. D. Hayworth. McCain ultimately beat back Hayworth’s challenge, 56 percent to 32 percent, but only after a bitter campaign in which McCain spent a total of over $21 million and abandoned much of his “maverick” positioning and presented himself as a staunch conservative and a fierce opponent of illegal immigration (Steinhauer 2010). His task was made easier by his ability to attack Hayworth’s own checkered career in Congress. In 2016, McCain again faced a competitive primary opponent, physician, Tea Party activist, and two-term State Senator Kelli Ward. Ward, like Hayworth, argued that McCain was not conservative enough for Arizona. Ward was (and is), however, a decade younger than Hayworth, and her shorter tenure in political office made it harder for McCain to attack her.
