Greenwood County Democratic Party (SC)

Trump chose this war — not out of necessity, but recklessness. We're told we can't afford healthcare or housing, yet somehow we can afford endless war. The price? Paid for by service members and everyday Americans never by billionaires.

GWCDP Bkfst 2026 02 02 Mayor Brandon Smith YouTube video by Greenwood Democrats

If you missed our Feb Breakfast Mtg, you missed an excellent session with Greenwood Mayor Brandon Smith. After providing updates on city initiatives, he fielded questions from the members for over 30 minutes.

We're grateful for the time he spent with us & found it very enlightening!

Trump just hijacked the Defense Production Act to shove cancer-linked chemical glyphosate (Roundup’s active ingredient) and phosphorus into our food. Food security “solution”? Poisoning America. RFK Jr., once opposed, is fully onboard.

Watch this video to the end. That last sentence...

"It was not until legislators passed subsequent amendments, starting after the Civil War up through the 1970s, that the Constitution even explicitly prohibited voting laws that discriminate on account of race, sex or age."

Citizenship voting requirement in SAVE America Act has no basis in the Constitution – and ignores precedent that only states decide who gets to vote The House has passed a bill to require proof of citizenship for voting. Although it likely won’t become law, the bill raises constitutional questions.

"The U.S. Constitution imposes no citizenship requirement when it comes to voting. The original text of the Constitution, in fact, said very little about the right to vote."

RIP to a trailblazer! A true son of SC. A man who's shoulders I stand on today. A civil rights icon for all people. I was honored to not only have met him, spoken with him, marched with & in this image, pray with him. This is a moment that I will cherish forever. RIP Reverend Jackson, job well done.

I was privileged to sit beside dear Jesse Jackson during the breakfast prior to him giving this speech. He wasn't well then but we did our best to have a conversation. Our eyes and smiles did the talking for us when it was difficult for him to find the words. June 22, 2019 was a special day. RIP sir
