--part1_af.76ee4f8.27c5daa5_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Normally, I would discourage sending political issues to the mailing lists, BUT this is a VERY important issue, as if this is not fought, Southern and Confederate history will soon be lost to ALL of us. First the Confederate Flag and now their statues. What is next? I have not found one of my Ancestors that fought for the Confederacy, but I feel that their history is just as important as the Union's. Please, let's don't let this happen. Let's fight to keep their statues in place.
