Editor’s Note: After compiling that enormous list of pro-Confederate activism last weekend, I haven’t been able to keep track of everything that has taken place this week. I have a lot of catching up to do and have barely scratched the surface here. Those who are taking a stand in defense of our heritage should be honored for doing so.

Was the first ship to show up in North America owned and operated by the Mercado?
Your link for the San Antonio group goes to the Knoxville one instead. I don’t know yet if this is the only link, but here is KENS Channel 5’s story. KSAT doesn’t have one that I can see.

It would surely improve turnout if there were some kind of networking or whatever. Not everybody does Facebook (I only go there if there’s a dog involved nowadays. It takes too much time. Further, many of the links from yesterday had the equivalent of a “page can’t be displayed” when I tried to click on them.)
I didn’t know about this beforehand.
Here’s another one on 4 (WOAI). Comments are all good.

glad to see James there! love TPC
When’s the rally on Washington. I want to be there?
Nessa, I’d rather see it in Columbia, SC. If they can draw 5000 in Ocala, FL I would think the whole state of SC could out do that.
The smoke from burning effigies (at least!) of the Indian governor and fag senator would float up my nostrils like that from a fine cigar.
Then on to DC.
God speed. Those of us who value free speech and freedom are all southerners now.
