William
Lathem - Spokesman
Closing Statement
Southern Heritage PAC
Will yesterday’s results put this issue to rest? In the American
system you put an issue to rest by the vote of the people in a fair
referendum. Deny the majority - as you have - a chance for a fair
vote, and the Flag issue will never be put to rest.
We are not afraid – as some are – of a vote. We know we will
not obtain the backing of many in the news media. We will not have
the dollars of the Chamber of Commerce or the downtown Atlanta
business moguls.
We will only have the backing of average Georgians from
Lookout Mountain to St. Marys River. But that’s good enough. Because
we will win.
As I said earlier, this is not the end. It is not even the
beginning of the end. The Flag issue will not be over until the
people of Georgia say it’s over in a fair, uncensored vote that
includes the 1956 State Flag as an option. Thank you for coming.
