Get Involved
We’ll never change anything without you. And now, we have the opportunity to expose wasteful spending and hidden political agenda. So step up with us. Join a movement to monitor and report on government, to hold politicians accountable and to make your voice heard.
You can join The Nerve by giving a little of your time, a lot of your voice and whatever you can spare financially. It probably doesn’t surprise you that we don’t get support from government or special interests. It all comes from you. Without your help, the only information you’ll get about government will come from government bureaucrats, politicians with an agenda and/or their lobbyists and consultants.

Be one of us, and tell your friends. Look at it this way: You're going to give
government a whole lot of
your money this year, and you won't have much choice.
You can give some of it to us
instead -- it's tax deductible and we'll spend it
fighting for you instead of against you.
Since 1986 the South Carolina Policy Council Education Foundation has brought together civic, community and business leaders from all over our state to discuss innovative policy ideas
that advance the principles of limited government and free enterprise.
