From: <Labums@aol.com> To: Governor Musgrove Created: 5/23/2000 10:11 AM Subject: RE: State Flag of Mississippi Message: Dear Honorable Governor, I am a resident of Collinvsille, Mississippi and a registered tax paying voter. I would like to take this opportunity to express my feelings about the State of Mississippi flag. I think it is absurd for the issue of changing the flag to even be discussed. Mississippi should be trying to educate it's people about the truth of the War Between the States. To change the flag will only further the cause of ignorance about the true cause of the war. I DO NOT base opinions of people on the color of their skin, however I AM PROUD OF MY SOUTHERN HERITAGE. I am also aware that the war was not about slavery. I am not for slavery in the past or the future. That includes not allowing oneself to become a slave to a small group of misguided people. People should be re-educated with care and concern instead of being allowed and encouraged to continue in their ignorance. There are certainly a lot more important issues at hand that we should all work together to correct. Thank you for allowing me to advise you of my feelings about our beautiful flag! Carol A.
