SLRC Weekly Update

Greetings Compatriots:

Hello to everyone.  I hope that everyone had a most wonderful week. We have been preparing for HK's March to the Sea.  I have enclosed the route below for the march so that all of those that wish to help, may do so.

Dupont Update

The hearing in Richmond on January 30 approaches.  This David v. Goliath case reaches its climax.  Because David will not bend the knee, Goliath is seeking to destroy him and silence his voice on behalf of our people forever.  Goliath pays us the highest possible compliment, in that our simple appeal for justice and civil rights scares them so much that they feel like they must squash our advocate. Goliath should consider the properties of mercury when you drop it on the floor at room temperature.

Vindication of our rights will take a long time!  It would come sooner if the apathy and indolence of our people were not so great.  But those of us that believe in God and simple justice know that we are on God's time and not our own.  That we must await His holy will and not our own. That we must continue to do our duty as God gives us the strength and let Him deliver the victory.

For those that inquired, the following order was filed in the DuPont case this week:

Several supporters have asked if they can attend this hearing to show support for Mr. Lyons.  I am told that as long as you maintain Courtroom decorum and dress for Court, the hearing will be in open court and is open to the public.  Whether you attend or not, your immediate prayers and support are needed NOW!

March to the Sea

HK will be marching 260 miles to Charleston, SC to arrive in time for then Hunley funeral.  He is scheduled to leave on Saturday, March 13 from Marion, NC at the 1793 Carson House.  HK will be making his way from Marion to Rutherfordton, Sulphur Springs, Chesnee, Spartanburg, Woodruff, Laurens, Newberry, Chapin, Columbia, Orangeburg, Summerville, and Charleston where he will arrive on April 12 at the Battery facing Ft Sumter. HK will be marching about 15 miles per day.

HK is conducting this march to raise money for SLRC heritage defense and to honor the brave men of the Hunley. Supporters wanting to march with HK are encouraged to call me at 864-476-0656 for details.

Heritage groups along the way will be contacted for help.  If you or your camp would like to offer help prior to the march contact myself at 864-476-0656 or Rick Wilkerson at 828-669-5189.  I am encouraging ALL South Carolina SCV camp members to help out if you are called upon and also pledge with camp donations.  This is sure to be a most exciting march!
