A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE THE WREN HIGH SCHOOL “LADY HURRICANES” GOLF TEAM UPON WINNING THE 2011 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, mentally tough and physically ready for the challenge, the Wren High School “Lady Hurricanes” golf team capped off an excellent season setting a state girls golf record for a two-day total of 597 and won the 2011 Class AAAA State Championship title; and

Whereas, the excitement of these young ladies could be heard throughout the golf course at Brookstone Meadows as they blew away the runner up by thirty-three strokes; and

Whereas, this championship was the first for golf at Wren High School and only the fifth state championship in school history; and

Whereas, under the leadership of Coach Bobby Tripp, the team’s demonstration of heart, desire, hard work, perseverance, and talent showed opposing teams and spectators why the “Lady Hurricanes” are the “Number One” team in the State; and

Whereas, the Senate takes great pleasure in recognizing Morgan Kallio, Makalyn Poole, Cayla Smith, Maegan Higgins, Kaitlin Matheson, Amanda Phillips, Ashley Rogers, and Elliott Mills for their excellence in the classroom and on the golf course. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and congratulate the Wren High School “Lady Hurricanes” golf team, of Anderson County, on its outstanding season and impressive win of the 2011 Class AAAA State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Principal G. Robert Binnicker and Coach Bobby Tripp of Wren High School.

s.1062 was introduced by the suggestion of the former director of corrections. This legislation simply prohibits the department of corrections from paying for operations to change an inmates gender. This is not a current practice, however, s. 1062 may prevent a serious problem in the future. The states that have had inmates sue for a sex-change operation are:
Virginia, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Colorado, California, Idaho

There was one Federal case from a inmate in Mass. He/she/? sued first at the Mass. Dept. of Corrections 11 years ago and then again at the Federal level 2 years ago.

Also, Michigan was one state that saw this as a problem and passed a Sex Change Prevention Act in 2006, similar to s. 1062.

A spokesperson from the transgender community testified at the hearing this morning with the arguments of cruel and unusual punishment and the unconstitutionality of s.1062.

Simply put, the cruelty would be on the taxpayer footing the bill for theses procedures costing 10’s of thousands of dollars. Also, I’ve never been one to check with the local liberal activist judge for permission on every piece of legislation.

If we were to start paying for “Dan” to become “Danielle”, were would we house the inmate? How can we protect the scarce funds of the already least funded department in the U.S.?

The massive bill that set up “Obamacare” had one useful provision: states could vote to opt-out of coverage for abortion.

Seeing this opportunity, SC Senator Larry Grooms introduced a bill (S.102) to do just that. But, pro-abortion Senators responded, placing a “minority report” on the bill. That means this important legislation is on page 26 of the Senate Calendar! The bill will stay there and will die thereif we don’t act now.

The only way to save the Opt Out bill is to “set it for Special Order.” A Special Order would require the Senate to take the legislation up and vote on it.

TUESDAY MORNING Senators will meet together to decide which bills should be set for Special Order. Your calls are needed OVER THE WEEKEND AND ALL DAY MONDAYto get S.102 up to bat.

Please contact your Senator’s office now. Leave a message asking him to set S.102 for Special Order on Tuesday, February 14. Otherwise, the new Obamacare exchanges could allow SC taxpayer dollars to pay for taking the lives of unborn children.

Thank you for your help!
