UPDATE:  9 APRIL 2009
 
WHILE IN THE DUMBARTON LIBRARY THIS DAY, THE HEAD LIBRANIAN STOPPED ME AND ASKED ME TO REPLENTISH THE SECTION IN THE DISPLAY AREA FOR OUR PERIODICALS AS SHE DIDN'T WANT US TO LOOSE OUR PARTICULAR AREA.
 
SHE SAID THEY HAD VIEWED THE WEB SITE AFTER THE INITIAL COMPLAINT AND FOUND IT APPEARING TO FOCUS THE NEGATIVITY ON THE LIBRARIES INSTEAD OF HENRICO COUNTY ADMINISTRATION.
 
THE EFFORTS OF ALL WHO ASSISTED ON THIS "RIGHTS VICTORY"
CAN NEVER BE THANKED ENOUGH,.
 
THANK YOU AGAIN, FOR YOUR "DEVOTION TO THE "CAUSE" ESPECIALLY WHEN SOME OF YOU WERE NOT SCV, NOR VIRGINIANS BUT SIMPLY TIRED OF OUR HERITAGE AND HISTORY AND THE CONFEDERACY BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST.
 
(However, one cannot win a battle by abandoning the field however unpromising it might seem at the time). 
 
AS YOU ALL SHOULD BE AWARE THE CAPTAIN JOHN LOW, CSN CAMP WAS ABANDONED IN THIS "FRAY"!
 
WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO EMBARRASS ANYONE BUT THE CAMP WONDERS. STILL, WHAT MOLD CERTAIN LEADERSHIP WAS CAST?
 
 
 
HENRICO COUNTY, VIRGINIA, SEPTEMBER, 8, 2008
 
WITH SOME VERY SPECIAL ASSISTANCE FROM TEXAS DIVISION COMMANDER MANNING and MRS. VIRGINIA K. OF TEXAS, THE "SOUTHERN HERITAGE NEWS AND VIEWS EMAIL NETWORK" AND COUNTLESS OTHERS WHO PHONED AND EMAILED HENRICO COUNTY AND A SPECIAL LADY, VALERIE PROTOPAPAS, FROM NEW YORK WHOSE EMAIL ON LIBRARIES IS BELOW, COMPATRIOT WELLS WAS ABLE TO ESTABLISH TWO OUTLETS FOR CONFEDERATE HERITAGE AND HISTORY PERIODICALS:
THE LIBRARY(THE REAL OBSTACLE) THEREOF AND A DISTRIBUTION POINT ON COUNTY PROPERTY AT THE GOVERNMENT COMPLEX WAS OBTAINED.
 
OUR CAMP MEMBERSHIP WAS IN A QUANDARY AS TO WHY JERRY HAD TO SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM THE TEXAS DIVISION OF THE SCV, BEING A
NATIVE VIRGINIAN AND RESIDENT OF THAT COUNTY?
 
HE HAD BEEN TOLD BY FELLOW VIRGINIANS THAT THIS UNDERTAKING WOULD BE TOO "TRIVIAL"  FOR  A "HERITAGE" DEFENSE  COORDINATOR TO EVEN CONSIDER MUCH LESS UNDERTAKE OR INITIATE ANY CONTACT WITH HENRICO COUNTY!  (However, one cannot win a battle by abandoning the field however unpromising it might seem at the time). 
 
DOESN'T LOOK AS IF HENRICO COUNTY THOUGHT JERRY'S COMPLAINTS WERE "TRIVIAL" IN NATURE IN HIS REPORT TO THE COMMANDER.
 
HIS "COUNTY" SUPERVISOR AND STAFF ASSISTED HIM GREATLY, TOO.
 
ANYWAY, CONGRATULATIONS TO JERRY AND THOSE OF TEXAS AND THE NUMEROUS OTHERS COMMITTED TO DEFENDING THE "CAUSE" OF GENERAL STEPHEN D. LEE.
 
HERE IS A PARAGRAPH in AN EMAIL FROM NORTH CAROLINA:
 
"We support those who can put individual ego aside
and to defend the cause of the Old South, and those
who are pledged to defend our ancestors and the cause
for which they fought."
 
Other Email:
 
 
Jerry,
 
You are most certainly to be commended!  Wish we had about 100,000 more just like you! Trivial?! Sounds like a comment a person would make whose shoe size has a larger number than their IQ.  Some people "just don't get it" and never will.  Keep up the good work and never retreat!

Dear jerry,
I am following your plite in Henrico.   The Elliott Grays UDC chapter # 1877   has been sending a subscription  of our UDC Magazine to Cumberland Public Library for 2 years now.  They do not keep magazines for over a year   and let us know so we could have them back.    The  UDC Mag is out in front on the rack.  
We also send a subscription to BrookView  Assisted Living  community  in Farmville
Virginia for their lobby.    I bet your paper would not have a problem in  Cumberland.
Would you like for me to ask them?   I'd like to know .
Fighting beside you,
Nancy Faxon,  president
The Elliott Grays

Dear Sir:

Libraries are the font of all “political correctness”. Given the discipline’s incestuous relationship to academia – perhaps the foremost practitioner of PC – and because its directors, vice-directors, librarians et al. spring from the same polluted source that produces most of our “educators” (there are exceptions, of course), it is completely understandable that all you see “advertised” in libraries is of the “PC-to-the-max” variety. Nothing even vaguely objective, never mind partisan or controversial, is to be found within the intellectually sterile realm of most libraries. However, books, newspapers and other periodicals can be requested by those who are members of the library and I encourage our folks to do so both locally and town-wide. There will be resistance, of course, but like most bureaucrats, librarians are “hard-wired” to their own regulations and will comply however unwillingly.

The trouble is, that most of us have walked away from this very useful source for the dissemination of information because it seems so unproductive. However, one cannot win a battle by abandoning the field however unpromising it might seem at the time.
