I am a sound supporter of the national Battle Flag and it's heritage to the south. It would be a shame to lose the flag on the account of the minority few who are not educated enough to realize the flag is not racist, but a symbol of states rights and also southern heritage. The NAACP is mistaken in its quest to bring an end to these flags, and it will be a sad day if Ole Miss has to lower its flag for a new replacement. Please make a stance on this and tell people that the flag is not racist, but represents the south in a positive manner. Maryland is going through this same battle right now with our state song Maryland My Maryland. The NAACP is now deeming that racist and want it removed. I think America is a democracy founded on a vote of the majority, and the majority do not think these flags or this song in MD is racist. I hope and pray you do the rig! ht thing and veto any new flag in Ole Miss and show the NAACP they cannot have everything their way. Other Americans have voices too. I urge you to do the right thing for the south's continued heritag support, without it, we have no heritage anymore. Thank you, John Warner submit: submit --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Attachment Filename: C:\archives\governor\mail\Governor Musgrove\_attach\Comments to the Governor 78\Mime.822
