Columbia, S.C. February 21, 2012 – South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson and Third District Congressman Jeff Duncan will hold a joint town hall meeting in Pickens County tonight — Tuesday, February 21, 2012. The event will be held at the Easley Campus of Tri-County Technical College from 6:00-8:00pm. The town hall will focus on the federal government’s legal actions against South Carolina.
The Obama Administration has pursued legal action against South Carolina for its constitutional secret ballot protections, its new illegal immigration law, and has sought to block Boeing from bringing thousands of jobs to the Palmetto State over a labor dispute. Additionally, the Justice Department has moved to block South Carolina’s new Voter ID law. South Carolina Attorney General, Alan Wilson has been active in countering the federal government’s actions.
Congressman Jeff Duncan has also been fighting the federal government’s actions against the state. Last March, Duncan introduced the State Right to Vote Act, a bill that would prohibit the federal government from suing states that require secret ballots in union elections to prevent against voter coercion and intimidation. Duncan is also the co-sponsor of several key pieces of legislation that completely repeal or defund the President’s healthcare law, and has been one of the leaders responsible for legally preventing President Obama from making controversial recess appointments.

I don’t know much about Wilson, just what I’ve read. I was at a gathering w/ Duncan the last of January in Greenville – he is so full of himself. Like he really wants to help South Carolina – yea right. He’s just helping himself get re-elected.
