Conservatives Of the Upstate Event Huge Success

Members gathered signatures for area petition candidates.

Conservatives of the Upstate held an "OPERATION LOST VOTE" event at the Pickens Flea Market on Hwy 183 in Pickens.

It was a huge success. Candidates who were ruled ineligible to be on the primary ballot in June were there meeting citizens and collecting the signatures they require to be placed on the November 6, 2012 elections.

Candidates in attendance were candidates, Rex Rice, Ed Harris, Stan Whitten, and Kevin Link. Petitions for Tim Morgan were also made available even though he was not one of the candidates who had been ruled ineligible.

Thank you to all the workers who were there. This was a great showing of how freedom works in South Carolina and how WE THE PEOPLE at the grassroots level will organize to keep our rights to vote for the candidate of  our choice alive!
