Please check out this latest Shake Up TV video for Shane’s thoughts on cap and trade.

As the town hall meetings heat up across the nation, I would really like to hear what’s on your mind. So far, all of the Common Sense Chats have been really informative and I can’t wait to talk with you about more great ideas to shake up Washington.

Dear Friends-

Our first common sense chat was held in Easley on Tuesday night, and it went great! There was a good turn out and people are angry at the direction our nation is going, but they are full of common sense ways to change Washington.

I am excited about these “Common Sense Chats” and I want to continue to talk with you about the issues impacting South Carolina families. So, if Easley was too far for you to travel- I have already made plans for my next “Common Sense Chat.”

This one will be held in Aiken on Thursday, July 30th from 6:00 - 8: 00 pm at the O’dell Weeks Center. Please come out next Thursday and chat with me about the big issues facing our State and America. Remember to stay tuned to shane2010.com for announcements on upcoming “Common Sense Chats” and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely,

Shane

“This is one step in many,” said Mr. Eckstrom before a crowd along The Alley in downtown Aiken. “…And I’m so proud the city of Aiken has taken a leadership role in restoring trust in government.”

Recently, Aiken has posted on a Web site – www.cityofaikensc.gov/financialtransparency – financial statements, including check registers that show residents how city money is being spent. Last year, Mr. Eckstrom had state spending information posted online and then launched a campaign to persuade local governments to post their expenditures on the Internet.

Aiken is among eight cities to have pushed through such an initiative. Mr. Eckstrom said he hopes more cities will realize it can be done and will follow the examples set by these eight.

Officials with the South Carolina Policy Council as well as several state legislators were in Aiken to support the campaign.

“This is a big step,” said state Sen. Shane Massey, a Republican who represents the 25th District, including Aiken. Continue Reading…

Dear Friends –

How can we create more jobs and grow South Carolina’s economy?

What is excessive spending and unprecedented government growth doing to our nation?

Should Congress pass President Obama’s plan to nationalize health care or a conservative solution based on free market principles?

How can we do more to empower teachers, employers, and workers?

Should we scrap the federal tax code and start over?

Is offshore drilling part of the answer to our energy problems?

These are just a few of the questions I’m hearing as I tour the district. The career politicians in Washington don’t have all the answers; they just think they do. That arrogance and disdain for public input is how we’ve ended up in the position we’re in. Continue Reading…
