LaPierre announces run for US Congress
PICKENS — Today, Michael LaPierre formally announced his candidacy for South Carolina’s 3rd 
Congressional District. Michael LaPierre made the following statement:
Our nation finds itself in a time of crisis. Our southern border is being invaded, bringing with it cartel, fentanyl, and other dangerous drugs, and our

national leadership isn’t willing to make the hard decisions necessary to end this crisis.
And we’re facing a second invasion of economic migrants and their employers who are abusing worker visa programs. The results are lower wages and less jobs for Americans and higher housing prices that are putting the American Dream of home ownership out of reach for more and more South Carolina families.
I’m the only candidate who work to implement the following policies:
- Mandate the death penalty for drug, human, and sex traffickers at the border.
- Introduce a formal declaration of war on the Mexican cartels.
- Establish a militarized “No Entry Zone.” (N.E.Z.)
- Suspend all asylum applications and direct the applicants to other, friendly nations that have been recipients of US foreign aid for decades.
- End the H1B and other worker visa programs so employers here are forced to train and hire Americans.
- Allow employers to prioritize hiring US citizens (which is currently illegal).
While other candidates pretend to be conservatives, I’m the only one who will take a hard line against the threats to our country and our state today. I’ll lead on these issues as a candidate and lead on these issues as a Congressman.
Michael LaPierre is available for interviews and may be reached at (864) 420-3290 or at Michael@LaPierreforHouse.com.

Jesus was born of a virgin 2,000 years ago, but He existed long before that. As the Son of God and second person of the Trinity, Jesus is the Alpha and

The nature and purpose of religion
“Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” — John 3:3
The sun is the source of life on Earth. Without this solar center of light and energy, the Earth 
would be dark and lifeless. If we reflect, we see that the true creator of life on Earth is God and that the sun represents the intermediary between His will

Staying safe
I never thought this kind of thing would happen where I live: A woman was kidnapped in front of a store, in broad daylight, by a man carrying a gun.
It’s hard to even type those words, so shocked am I to learn of it.
To cut to the chase, the woman is thankfully fine, although no doubt rattled and upset. After being forced to drive the kidnapper to another location, she was able
