Georgia Mechanized Cavalry Heritage Defense And Event
Calendar
July 2015
Fellow Compatriots,
Compatriots,
In light of the Current situations regarding our
Heritage and our Flags, I will be temporarily
suspending the current format of our Bimonthly Calendar. My plan of action is to
provide you with an informative current
events calendar containing articles, Heritage
Defense Events, opinion polls and legislative
contacts. This will be combined with any
scheduled Pro- Confederate event that would
normally be listed in our events calendar. At
this time, our Heritage Defense is of the
upmost importance. Above all else, remain
Honorable in the Cause.

of the organized militia shall carry this
flag while on parade or review.
Continued…. Current Tag Situation
Brothers,
As you know, we are presently
under attack by almost every
politician, “news” person, and
anyone who can find their way
before a camera or reporter. The
heinous crime committed by the
mentally unstable kid in South
Carolina is being used to paint us
as something we’re not. We’ve
been around since 1896, but that
fact doesn’t seem to set a
precedent.
We must stand strong and
together, there is nothing that
would please our enemies more
than for us to fight among
ourselves. Regrettably, we’re on
the threshold of another battle, not
with arms but with numbers, with
words and with the truth, which is,
as always, on our side. We can’t
allow them to beat us down, the
truth and right will win, but only
if we stand together as a solid
cohesive unit. The majority of
these people are so uninformed
about our history, they don’t have
a clue about the facts
Continued…
b)(1) It shall be unlawful for any person,
firm, corporation, or other entity to
mutilate, deface, defile, or abuse
contemptuously any publicly owned
monument, plaque, marker, or memorial
which is dedicated to, honors, or
recounts the military service of any past
or present military personnel of this state,
the United States of America or the
several states thereof, or the
Confederate States of America or the
several states thereof, and no officer,
body, or representative of state or local
government or any department, agency,
authority, or instrumentality thereof shall
remove or conceal from display any such
monument, plaque, marker, or memorial
for the purpose of preventing the visible
display of the same. A violation of this
paragraph shall constitute a
misdemeanor.
(2) No publicly owned monument or
memorial erected, constructed, created,
or maintained on the public property of
this state or its agencies, departments,
authorities, or instrumentalities in honor
of the military service of any past or
present military personnel of this state,
the United States of America or the
several states thereof, or the
Confederate States of America or the
several states thereof shall be relocated,
removed, concealed, obscured, or
altered in any fashion; provided,
however, that appropriate measures for
the preservation, protection, and
interpretation of such monuments or
memorials shall not be prohibited.
continued We met with Commissioner Riley of the Georgia Department of Revenue, July 1st, and the outcome was, shall we say, less than amiable. Commissioner Riley, was not open to any suggestions presented to her by myself, Judge Advocate Dan Coleman, Division Adjutant Tim Pilgrim, our General Counsel and Past Judge Advocate, legal representative, Martin O’Toole, or Brigade Commander, Charlie Parks. She arrived for the meeting with a preset decision that there will be no SCV Tag with the Battle Flag or with our organizational logo on it. Commissioner Riley and the Department of Revenue General Counsel, who were also present during the meeting, position was they have the authority to remove the Battle Flag and SCV logo solely based on the recent Supreme Court ruling on the Texas SCV specialty license tag. We have had the logo in place on the tag since its inception, now the Commissioner has, on her own stated, that our logo and the Battle Flag “may be offensive to some people”. Her statement was offensive to me, but then I don’t work for the Governor. So the current situation is that our specialty tag has been pulled by the Dept. of Revenue pending a redesign without the SCV logo. We are currently having General Counsel O’Toole investigating what our legal options are moving forward. We, as a Division, need to make some hard decisions, we either accept Commissioner Riley’s decree to design our specialty tag using a neutered version, not to have any specialty tag at all or if we have legal grounds to move forward with legal actions against the Department of Revenue but who can expect success with that after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision? Continued… (3) Conduct prohibited by paragraphs
(1) and (2) of this subsection shall be
enjoined by the appropriate superior
court upon proper application
therefor.
(4) It shall be unlawful for any person,
firm, corporation, or other entity
acting without authority to mutilate,
deface, defile, abuse contemptuously,
relocate, remove, conceal, or obscure
any privately owned monument,
plaque, marker, or memorial which is
dedicated to, honors, or recounts the
military service of any past or present
military personnel of this state, the
United States of America or the
several states thereof, or the
Confederate States of America or the
several states thereof. Any person or
entity who suffers injury or damages
as a result of a violation of this
paragraph may bring an action
individually or in a representative
capacity against the person or
persons committing such violations to
seek injunctive relief and to recover
general and exemplary damages
sustained as a result of such person's
or persons' unlawful actions.
(c) Any other provision of law
notwithstanding, the memorial to the
heroes of the Confederate States of
America graven upon the face of
Stone Mountain shall never be
altered, removed, concealed, or
obscured in any fashion and shall be
preserved and protected for all time
as a tribute to the bravery and
heroism of the citizens of this state
who suffered and died in their cause.
Continued… 2
It is my position as your Division
Commander and the consensus of the
Officers attending the meeting, that if
we have sound legal standing to move
forward with legal action against the
Dept. of Revenue for violating state
law. I believe this is what our
membership expects us to do, to show
strength and resolve with this matter
and to defend the flags of our
Confederate Heroes.
I request that all our Camps discuss
this issue at your next Camp meeting
and take a vote on what course of
action you would want the Division to
take. Below are the three options as we
see them:
Options:
1. Accept the decree to re-design
our specialty tag without the SCV
logo. If this is selected, offer a redesign option as well.
2. Cease having a specialty tag.
(What would be the purpose without
the SCV logo, our members could
donate $10 a year extra to the project
fund and have the same effect)
3. Pursue legal action against the
Department of Revenue if determined
we have legal grounds to do so. If this
option fails, we could divert back to
option 1 or 2.
I would ask that all Camp Commanders contact your Brigade Commanders with the results of the Camp’s vote. I’ll plan on having an early Executive Council meeting the first of August so we can bring this matter before the Division’s Executive Counsel and tally each Brigade’s votes and suggestions. O.C.G.A. 50-3-9 (2010)
50-3-9. Abuse
of federal, state, or Confederate flag
unlawful It shall be unlawful for any
person, firm, or corporation to
mutilate, deface, defile, or abuse
contemptuously the flag of the United
States, the flag, coat of arms, or
emblem of the State of Georgia, or
the flag or emblem of the Confederate
States of America by any act
whatever.
Help preserve and protect our Monuments. “Do your Duty in All Things. You cannot do more; you should never wish to do less.” -­‐ Gen. Robert E. Lee O.C.G.A. 50-3-10 (2010)
50-3-10. Use
of flag for decorative or patriotic
purposes Nothing in this article shall
be construed to prevent the use of the
flag of the United States or any flag,
standard, color, shield, ensign, or
other insignia of the State of Georgia
or of the Confederate States of
America for decorative or patriotic
purposes, either inside or outside of
any residence, store, place of
business, public building, or school
building.
O.C.G.A. 50-3-11 (2010)
50-3-11.
Penalty Any person, firm, or
corporation who violates any
provision of Code Section 50-3-8 or
50-3-9 shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor.
Southern Legal Resource Center Let your voices be heard.
Another point Commissioner
Riley brought before us during
the meeting, she hasn’t had any
input from our membership or
Georgia citizens on her actions to
remove the SCV specialty tags
with the SCV logo and Battle
flag on it. So let’s, as an
organization that honors our
Confederate Ancestors, let her
know where we stand on this
issue, please e-mail
Commissioner Riley at the
following address to express
your concerns that she has pulled
the SCV specialty tags with the
SCV logo, and as usual be
professional and polite:

Social Media Reminder: Please keep it Clean. No Profanity, vulgar comments or obscene photos/gestures. Remain Honorable in the Online Fight. Unless it is a private one on one message, anything you comment or post can be seen potentially by millions. You comment on your buddy’s post, and everyone he is friends with sees it. His buddy shares it, and it just keeps going…. We do not need any bad publicity! Many of us are actively recruiting online through social media-­‐ This is Outstanding! Keep it up. However, please know that there are infiltrates who may attempt to join in an effort to harm us, as well as those who are not truly honoring their Ancestors or the Confederate Cause with racial attitudes. When recruiting, be sure to inform prospective members that the SCV denounces any and all forms or Racism, Hatred and Bigotry. I only mention this, as it has happened to me this week, and fortunately, I saw a post by the applicant admitting he was racist. I was then able to make the attending camp aware, to withdraw his application. WA: Group calls for removal of veterans

Ron Cooper-­‐Alabama to D.C. For those who have not read their email. I have been in contact with Ron Cooper, and We are setting up reinforcements with SCVMC for the remainder of his route where possible to D.C. In time to prepare, the largest reinforcement group will be in North Carolina and up. Col. Stone is preparing North Carolina for a full scale ride if at all possible. Troop 2 has also made an attempt to assist in Ron’s Travels. He was last in Lavonia, Ga. Monday Afternoon. I was able to contact Ron and get him Connected with Lt. Brandon (Third Gear) to assist as needed. Hats off Brothers!. I only wish I had known of his travels when he started out on July 4th. We could have had the entire 3rd Battalion Co. B involved as well. I will keep email updates on Ron as I get them. Maybe some of our Ga. Boys can make the trip to N.C. and above to show support. Currently, Ron’s plan is to Continue to South Carolina. Where he will also have SCVMC reinforcements. Membership Spike
Make the Call
We have had a huge spike in the number of downloads of our
membership application from the Division website this
week. Here is the link... http://gascv.org/membershipapplication/ Please download it yourself, print out about a
dozen copies, and carry them with you for the next few days
and put one in the hand of every man (and his son) who
expresses support for our Cause. We have not had this much
popular support since our flag fight here in Georgia in 2001.
Speak to your local State Representative and
State Senator to express your concerns over the
stop issuance of our specialty tags and also about
the general hysteria going on removing our
Confederate monuments and how those "other"
- Cmdr Bridwell
politicians are caving in to the hysteria without
any consideration to the millions of Southerners
who has and loves their Confederate Heritage. If
you don't know who your State Representative or

Safety and Vigilance
In recent days I have seen several articles regarding violence and destruction of property to our Confederate Brothers and Sisters. I cannot tell you when or if it will end and what the outcome of these acts will be. We must remain Honorable. At the same time, we must take the necessary means to defend and protect ourselves, our families, and our property. If you are going on a trip, have someone monitor your property. Do not take down your flags, just have a watchful eye on them. If you are out in public wearing our colors, be vigilant of your surroundings, and try not to travel alone. Don’t let your spouse or children go out alone wearing any Confederate symbols. Arrange for accompaniment or go with them. This past weekend a flag rally in Florida was met with shots being fired. Today (July 15th) a flagger in Ashville North Carolina was shot at. By no means will I tell you or even suggest to you to retaliate. Nor would I tell you to NOT wear our Colors or any Confederate Symbols in public. I will tell you to make sure you and your family are protected and return home at night. We do not want anyone getting hurt. Be sure you have a full charge on your cell phone before you go out and rally in Support. Take a first aid kit, and emergency supplies just in case. These should include, water, bug repellent, sunscreen, firestarter, non perishable food/snacks, toiletry needs, medications, rain gear etc. Better to have it and not need it….. Tensions are running high, and you never know what you may encounter. FAMILY THREATENED AT GUNPOINT FOR WAVING CONFEDERATE FLAG

Texas public schools are jumping on the

figures that memorialize the Confederate South in a
politicized push around the state that follows the
tragic hate crime shooting of nine African-American
church parishioners during a Bible study in

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) – A statue of a Confederate leader that stands
in downtown Lexington has been spray-painted with the phrase
“Black Lives Matter.”
The John Hunt Morgan statue at the old courthouse on Main Street
was sprayed with black paint across the Confederate general’s name.
It happened sometime before Friday morning.
Lexington Mayor Jim Gray says he doesn’t condone the vandalism,
but understands that the statue brings out strong feelings. He says it’s
time for the city to reconsider its Confederate memorials.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports city parks employees will clean
the statute as soon as police have finished their investigation.
NEW ORLEANS -- The message "Black Lives Matter" has been
spray painted on the P.G.T. Beauregard monument in City Park.
The monument, located at the Esplanade and City Park avenues
intersection, is dedicated to the Confederate general who served
during the Civil War.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu asked for a dialogue on the future of the
monuments earlier this week after Dylann Roof shot and killed
nine black Bible study group members at a church in South
Carolina.
"Symbols really do matter and symbols reflect who we really are
as a people," he told the Welcome Table for Race,
Reconciliation and Community forum Wednesday.
The mayor mentioned the monuments of Robert E. Lee at Lee
Circle, Jefferson Davis on Jeff Davis Parkway, the White
Citizens statue and the Beauregard statue.
The tricentennial committee is looking at the future of all the
statues as the city approaches its 300th anniversary in 2018.
