CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE . . . James Layden

I believe we have reached the tipping point. Future events will confirm the devolution of the United States. I am very optimistic about obtaining a free and independent South Carolina by the consent of the governed. The SCLoS will be a major player contributing to this event, but others will step forward and work for our cause.

We are witnessing the arrogance of power in the United States at every level of government and widespread withdrawal of popular support. Many disillusioned people will turn to organisations such as the SCLoS for comfort and direction. The federal government will be viewed as the enemy of the people. There will be a general desire for change.

In the meantime, the SCLoS will continue its campaign to: (1) confront our enemies in private meetings and in the public arena, (2) elect candidates to political office, (3) promote Southern culture, and (4) open Southern Patriot Shops throughout South Carolina. Each of these items will contribute to our success, but opening Southern Patriot Shops will provide immediate and lasting results.

A Southern Patriot Shop provides a physical presence in the community. It serves as the flagship for Southern resistance and provides a sanctuary for the building of a substantial cadre to lead volunteers in our quest for freedom. A careful study of the influence created by the Cayce store includes those who shop and proudly display Southern symbols and those who become dedicated members. The total impact through influence and results is grater than what is expected from more than one hundred members under normal circumstances. If this store is duplicated in twenty communities throughout South Carolina, the battle for the hearts and mind of our people will be won. If you are financially able, why not provide a Cayce equivalent store to the SCLoS? After all, liberals contribute to their causes all the time.

To be successful we need dedicated workers and money. Both of these prerequisite are hard to maintain in a volunteer organisation and especially one that is on the cutting edge. That is why dedication is the key ingredient to success. I urge everyone who believes in our cause to do more. It is habit forming and quite enjoyable. God willing, we will be free.
