Senator John Cornyn Heading To South Carolina

After helping lead a stunning Senate victory in Massachusetts with the election of Scott Brown, National Republican Senate Committee Chairman John Cornyn is now heading to South Carolina to help us kick off the 2010 election year.

Please join us for a special evening in Columbia on February 16, 6:30 - 8:00 pm, with United States Senator John Cornyn as we talk about our national fight to take back Congress while raising much-needed funds for the South Carolina Republican Party.

2010 is going to be a big year and with Senator Jim DeMint and Congressman Joe Wilson up for reelection, we need your help to raise money so that we can build our grassroots army. Senator DeMint and Congressman Wilson have been leading the national fight to take America back, and President Obama and his liberal allies Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will do anything they can to take them out. That’s why we need your help today.

Please click the RSVP button below and donate just $150 per person to attend this event. Don’t wait. Please RSVP today.
