SLRC Weekly Update

Dear Heritage Supporters:

Greetings Confederates!  Welcome to the year two thousand three!  Mercy it seems unreal!  We have more good news to report on the benefits of Castorina!  Also, the March Across Dixie is going well.  HK will be crossing into the Texas this weekend.

March Across Dixie

HK started back from a holiday break on Monday.  He has had a great week and is will be attending the welcoming ceremony into Texas on Saturday at Logansport around lunch time.  If you're anywhere near Logansport, it's sure to be a great time so come on out and meet HK. Also attending the ceremony in Logansport will be Commander in Chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Ron Wilson, and a host of dignitaries from Texas & Louisiana Division!

You may still order a video of the march and reserve your flag.  There are still flags available so make your request today by calling 828-669-5189.  It's not too late to make pledges to HK's March Across Dixie! PLEDGE TODAY!!!

Castorina

If you supported us in the 5 year battle over the Castorina case, here is yet another trophy to add to the collection!  Talladega County schools in Alabama are now in compliance with the Castorina case.  Patrick Reaves, MOSB, met with Chairman of the Talladega County School Board and the chairman informed Reaves that the superintendent had sent a letter to all schools in Talladega County to inform all teachers and principals that the banning of Confederate and other heritage symbols is now prohibited.  We are more than happy to arm heritage officers with this powerful packet.  NOTE THAT ALABAMA IS IN THE 11TH CIRCUIT, NOT THE 6TH!!!  Your state doesn't have to be under the 6th Circuit's jurisdiction to receive this powerful packet.  We have a Federal lawsuit against Lawrence County, Alabam Schools (less than 100 miles away).  It will be interesting to see how Talladega's decision impacts our case in Lawrence County.

Also this week I reviewed all heritage violation cases in different states and found one in March of 2002 in Ohio.  I contacted the young man in Licking County and he is still very interested in displaying his Confederate heritage.  I also contacted Commander Sharp and I have mailed both Commander Sharp and the young man a Castorina packet.  I will keep you informed as to what unfolds. They will be meeting with the superintendent soon.

What a great way to start off the new year! Your pledges and donations are hard at work here at the Southern Legal Resource Center.  Who better to send your first charity money to than us?
