Members of Palmetto Network include legislators, operatives
As reported on FITSNews late Sunday afternoon, a new social networking site for S.C. conservatives, The Palmetto Network, is going forward to link up and coordinate social conservatives in the state.
In the post, it says that the site is invitation only, but Wolfe Reports registered as a member of the site when consultant Joshua Gross rolled out the site on Feb. 6, through a link in a Facebook news feed.
According to FITS, “FITS agreed not to release any members’ names, several prominent South Carolina politicos have already joined the network – including at least one candidate for governor.”
However, this site is under no such preconditions, and listed below are some of the more prominent members and a list of groups on The Palmetto Network, current as of 7 p.m. on Sunday. As of that time, no group yet had members.
