FLAGS TO BE BANNED BY ORDER OF THE LEXINGTON CITY COUNCIL!!!!!
AND IN DOING SO, THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE WILL ALSO BAN THE FLAGS OF THE LOCAL COLLEGES
TELL LEXINGTON CITY COUNCIL THAT BANNING THE AREA'S HISTORY IS JUST PLAIN WRONG !!!!
PLEASE SUPPORT THE AREA'S HISTORY FOR THE ECONOMY, EDUCATION, TOURISM, AND
OUR FUTURE
OUR OBJECTIVE
OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO SEE THAT THE CITY OF LEXINGTON SHOW RESPECT AND DIGNITY TO THE MEMORY OF ROBERT E. LEE AND THOMAS J. 'STONEWALL' JACKSON IN THE CITY WHERE BOTH MEN LAY BURIED AND THAT THE FLAGS THEY FOUGHT UNDER, AND IN JACKSON'S CASE DIED FOR, BE HONORABLY DISPLAYED ON THEIR DESIGNATED STATE HOLIDAY IN JANUARY EACH YEAR.
WE LIVE IN A CITY THAT HAS PROFITED GREATLY ON THE NAMES OF THESE TWO MEN AND FOR MANY YEARS DECLARED ITSELF "THE SHRINE OF THE SOUTH." TODAY, SOME CITY LEADERS CAN BARELY TOLERATE THE PRESENCE OF THOSE WHO VISIT THEIR GRAVES AND ACTUALLY CONSIDER LEE AND JACKSON TO BE HONORABLE. HISTORIC SITES ARE ENCOURAGED TO DOWNPLAY THEIR "HEROIC" IMAGE AND INSTEAD FOCUS ON THEIR FLAWS, REAL OR IMAGINED. LOCAL BUSINESS WILL SUFFER AS MANY SIMPLY CAN NO LONGER SUPPORT LOCAL SHOPS, RESTAURANTS, AND HOTELS KNOWING THAT THEIR TAX MONIES ARE GOING TO A LOCAL GOVERNMENT WHICH VIEWS THEM AND THEIR HEROES WITH DISDAIN.
