I love voting!
When I was young, my parents would take my siblings and me to the polling place with them and let us “push the buttons.” As we got older, we would get to wear the “I Voted” stickers to school and be all cool. Election Day was a treat- a special day to look forward to.

The South Carolina Senate voted against the healthcare cuts that passed the House last week. Because of the Senate&#8217;s refusal to cut HIV/AIDS funding and cancer screenings, the budget moves to a conference committee, where representatives from both the House and Senate will work together to find a compromise.
The major issue at hand is finding [...]]]></description>

The cuts include removing $5.6 million for AIDS prevention and treatment, including two programs that help AIDS patients purchase their life-saving prescriptions. The cuts limit patients on state-funded Medicaid to only 3 prescriptions a month, and removed all $4 million for state-funded [...]]]></description>

The conference Committee met yesterday on H. 3245- The Ultrasound Two Trip Requirement Bill. This first meeting was meant to “vent frustrations” and get a sense of where the challenges were in finding common ground.
The legislators began by reviewing each section of the bill, but soon found that little progress was going to be made.

Yesterday, the South Carolina House of Representatives sent H. 3245, the Ultrasound Two Trip Requirement Bill.
Representative Delleney, the original sponsor of the bill, urged House members to reject the Senate&#8217;s compromise language. They agreed with him, and voted 71-16 to not pass the bill.
What happens now?
The leadership from both the House and the Senate will appoint members [...]]]></description>

Yesterday, the South Carolina Senate was bullied into debating a fetal personhood bill which has failed to garner enough support to pass out of the House Judiciary Subcommittee.
Orchestrated by Senator Lee Bright of Spartanburg, this bill was brought up, against Senate procedure, during the debate of the cigarette tax.
The bill in question would grant constitutional [...]]]></description>
