City of Pearson, in Atkinson County Georgia (STILL), Flying The Confederate.Battle Flag over Court House Grounds in 2009!

As of 11:00 AM, January 1st, 2009, just a few days before President Elect Barack Obama, is sworn in as America's 44th President of the United States of American. When all American citizens, and Military Veterans will come together and take great pride in, and for their long, dedicated, and faithful service to their beloved country.

However, it is sad, that "Atkinson County Georgia Board of Commissioners, Georgia Legislators, TV Stations, Georgia News Paper Editors, along with American Civil Rights Organizations have given their silent consent approval of this Most Honorable Confederate Flag (NOW), being flown on public property over ATKINSON County Court House Grounds---in 2009, wherein all citizens come, expecting to receive JUSTICE, under the Constitution, of the United States of America!

We the people must ask Georgia Politicians in particular, how many more CITIES, AND COUNTIES in the State of Georgia are Flying this EXTREMELY, and HIGHLY HONORABLE FLAG of the CONFEDERACY?

As a retired military veteran of the Vietnam era, and after retiring at Moody Air Force Base Georgia in January 1991. It is imperative that all American Veterans of good will, and of conscious, ask the members of Georgia's Legislature, WHY are they dishonoring members of our Armed Forces, Military Veterans, our flag, nation, and image around the world, by flying this HIGHLY HONORABLE CONFEDERATE Flag, on public grounds in Atkinson County?

In addition, the flagpole from which this MOST HONORABLE CONFEDERATE FLAG is flown is much higher than both the Georgia State Flag Pole, and the American Flag Pole. How could this be? When all members of our armed forces were trained, that NO flag should be flown, on a flag pole higher, than the one displaying the American Flag.

Are we one nation, or two nations under two different flags in the 21st Century? Moreover, who won the Civil War? And why, are Georgia Legislators, disrespecting members of our armed forces, both living and dead?

Why would Georgia Legislators, Georgia newspaper editors, military veterans, and citizens of the State of Georgia, allow the confederate flag to be flown on public grounds at tax payer’s expense in 2009?

As a retired military veteran, I do not have a problem with this Ancient African Symbol that was first engraved on stone in Africa, before the founding fathers ever set foot on North America Soil. I, even wear a hat, and T-shirt, with these Ancient African Symbols, to show the greatness of my African Heritage, that are engraved in stone, in the mother land of ancient and modern man---until this very day.

Moreover there is other Ancient African Symbol on the back of United States of America’s currency including the dollar bill that many ignore. Although, this ANCIENT AFRICAN HISTORY or the HISTORY OF THE BURNT FACED PEOPLE, have been HIDDEN, OR BURIED beneath the rubbish pile of lies, half-truths, selfish pride, and ignorance, in order to promote one created being above another. But when truth, comes into the minds of the AMERICAN PEOPLE, and others around the world, who seek truth, then falsehood must vanish, and falsehood is forever a vanishing thing.

So if my beloved country (AMERICA), is truly a nation of laws, then members of Georgia's Legislature, should obey the LAWS of the United States of America, and fly NO FLAG, higher than the American Flag, or remove this part of training from all Military Training Manuals of the United States Armed Forces. Amen!

Many American Veterans distinguished themselves by meritorious service and some gave their life in the defense of our GREAT REPUBLIC. And it is a disgrace to our Members of the Armed Services NOW Serving at Moody Air Force Base Georgia. Even more disgraceful is the member of Georgia Legislature who continues to ignore American Veterans service to our beloved nation.

Therefore, it is our sacred duty, and responsibility as Americans, American Veterans, and citizens of goodwill to respect the established traditions, and honor Old Glory, for which both living and dead Americans gave their last ounce of breath to protect the spirit and work of the Founding Fathers of our Beloved Republic.

God Bless America, The Peach State of Georgia, our beloved Republic and everybody else!

INADDITION: Please Google, Georgia's sick "AT Will Employment Law.” This is another disgraceful act of Georgia Legislators along with Georgia Newspaper Editors, Publishers, and other Georgia Politicians, who seemingly have sold the rights of Georgia Workers, and American Military Veterans down the drain. How Sad?

Lastly Georgia Working Class, can no longer afford to give their silent consent approval of Georgia’s sick and outdated, “At Will Employment Law “during these hard economic times.
