Former Bush/Cheney Financial Strategist, Jack Oliver III, made his presence felt here in South Carolina. On Thursday evening, at the first annual Palmetto Family Council Straw Poll, Mr. Oliver addressed a crowd of over 500 participants on the issues of the ONE Campaign. His words obviously moved the crowd as they later began to approach our booth at the venue. Most people had never even heard of us before, however, before they left we made sure they would remember ONE’s name and know what it stands for.
Today, Friday, Jack Oliver made his way around the City of Columbia participating in interviews to ensure that our message will continue to spread. Mr. Oliver also teamed up with the former Press Secretary of both the State Department and most notably of President Clinton’s White House Mike McCurry while addressing members of the University of South Carolina’s School of Mass Communication and Broadcast Journalism.
There, Mr. Oliver stated that the ONE Issues are “key to our national security” and that our Campaign is equally important because “it gives people the opportunity to reach out and say they are trying to help save people’s lives.”
We very much appreciate the fact that Mr. Oliver took the time to help extend our message throughout our state. His work will
leave a major imprint in our Campaign here in South Carolina.
