Senator Bryant Announces Town Halls Across District

Bryant: “South Carolinians are sick of outrageous spending and economic insecurity.”

Feeling insecure about our state’s economy and your job? Worried about your family’s safety? Sick of bank bailouts, industrial takeovers, government run health care, and the encroachment on your constitutional freedoms? Believe the lifelong politicians are more concerned about the wishes of special interests than the needs of working American families?

Like you, State Senator Kevin Bryant is deeply concerned about the future of our state and our nation and he’s been working tirelessly to change the way things are done in Columbia. But he can’t represent your views in the Senate unless you tell him what’s on your mind. That’s why he’s holding a series of town hall chats across the district over the next two weeks.

“Conservative South Carolinians are sick and tired of the outrageous spending and the economic insecurity being caused by life long politicians more concerned with special interests than the needs of American families,” Bryant said. “I know our area taxpayers are frustrated too and I want to hear how they propose we solve our most pressing problems.”

The Town Halls will take place at 7:30 pm at the following fire departments. The press is encouraged to attend.

Thursday – 01.0710 – Hopewell
Friday – 01.08.10 – Pendleton
Thursday – 01.14.10 – Powdersville
Friday – 01.15.10 – Townville

THE GLOBAL WARMING ISSUE

In an editorial State Senator Bryant alludes global warming is a hoax because of emails from a few climate scientists discussing the manipulation of their data.  Science like other professions has individuals whose integrity and ethics are questionable. The vast majority of climate scientists are responsible and dedicated individuals who are reporting their data with integrity.  No matter how climate change data is reported or interpreted there are two facts that can’t be misinterpreted.   First, fossil fuel is finite.  This alone should be reason to develop alternative energy sources.   Secondly, the world population is increasing which translates into increased burning of fossil fuels.  There is a limit on how much carbon the oceans and atmosphere can absorb.  The time to develop alternative energy sources is now not when we reach saturation levels of carbon which may be catastrophic to our way of life!

Bryant also alludes that global warming advocacy will lead to “global government because, after all, how can you stop a global problem if you have independent nations”?  What is a global government? Is the United Nations a global government?  Are nations working together to solve common problems a global government?  Independent nations have successfully worked together to reduce the levels of chlorofluorcarbons that cause the depletion of the atmospheric ozone.    Global warming is a complex and serious issue which will require nations to work together in order to develop comprehensive and equitable solutions that ensure the sustainability of our planet.
