While the mainstream media, race baiters, and agitators would
have us believe that the millions of descendants of the Confederate Army have
decided to quietly acquiesce to their demands to cleanse our history and
heritage from this country, and are content to sit back and watch as our
monuments, memorials and flags are removed... the truth is that the recent
actions that began with the SC legislature, and continued to snowball across the
nation, have served to have quite the opposite effect.
Confederate flags are sold out at retailers, flags are being flown where they never were before, rides and rallies are INCREASING in number and attendance each week...and we continue to hear news like this, out of Statesboro, GA...
I received this message from Mike Sorrell last
night:
"Our battle to save our monument in Statesboro Ga has been won. The County Commission voted unanimously to leave our monument as is. Those wanting it to stay was running 7 to one on all polls. The Sons of Confederate Veterans would like to thank the commission for supporting our Southern heritage over outsiders, as well as members of both 5th and 6th brigades for their support. Michael A. Sorrell, Past Commander, present Judge Advocate,Ogeechee Rifles 941."

A UNANIMOUS vote by the county commission to
leave the Confederate monument alone!

"Significant opposition" by the SCV and UDC is cited in this victory! The three meetings regarding this issue were PACKED with Confederate supporters, who showed up to stand up and be counted.
The determination and resolve with which these men and women met the opposition in Statesboro reminds me of the words of Virginia Governor Letcher, in response to Cameron's call for Virginia to supply troops to raise arms against our Southern brothers:"You have chosen to inaugurate civil war, and having done so, we will meet it in a spirit as determined as the Administration has exhibited towards the South."
It is time for all of us to take our stand...and meet the
opposition with MORE determination than they have exhibited in their
efforts to destroy our history and heritage and dishonor our Confederate
veterans.
