SLRC Weekly Update

Greetings Southern Legal Resource Center supporters!

Confederate Autumn:  A March Through Dixie

As most of you know H.K. will be marching to Texas to raise funds for the SLRC and the SCV Heritage Defense.  He plans on leaving Monday, October 14, 2002 and will arrive on Robert E. Lee's birthday on January 19, 2003.  From there H.K. will march to the Hays High School Stadium in Buda, TX (an additional 30 miles.)  H.K.'s goal is to raise 2 million dollars.  The SLRC has been accepting pledges in any amount for the trip.  Supporters may wish to pledge at least $1 per mile for a certain leg of the journey or hopefully the whole 1500 mile journey.  For further details visit the website at: www.southerncaucus.org/hkedgerton.htm

We are thrilled to announce that the Dixie Outfitters has made a generous pledge of $1 per mile!!  Dixie Outfitters will also be donating clothing to H.K. for his trek.  Also the Pennsylvania SCV Division has donated $150 dollars towards the march!  We are grateful for these generous donations but we need others to step forward and donate!!

H.K.'s march has already received publicity.  Michael Betsch reported for the CNSNews.com that, "A slave descendant - wearing a Confederate soldier's uniform and waving the Confederate battle flag - plans to march 1300 miles from North Carolina to Texas next month, in a show of support for his southern heritage."  There were some "pathetic" paragraphs in the story but we can't count on the press to give a Confederate flag waver a fair shake, can we?  H.K. remains very excited and up to the challenge!

Send in your tax-deductible contributions today!!!  The SLRC needs the funds to fight the fight! WE ARE SUFFERING FROM WORK OVERLOAD AND EMPTY COFFERS!  This is your history we are fighting to preserve!  IT IS YOUR DUTY to help us fight the fight.  We need our fellow Confederate brethren to step up and help!!  All donations are tax-deductible!  You can't lose!  You support The Cause and you can write it off!  Send in your tax-deductible contribution TODAY!
