Standing up for themselves In 2001, Governor Roy Barnes of Georgia engineered a secret deal to change the State’s flag despite its overwhelming popularity with the majority of Georgians who take a pride in their Southern culture and heritage. This came shortly after South Carolina, under threats of economic boycotts, recently took down a Confederate Flag from its State Capitol building.
Update November 2002Roy Barnes, the scalawag Democratic governor of Georgia has been ousted after a long grassroots campaign against him led by activists from the Southern Party of Georgia. Barnes showed his contempt for the people of Georgia and their heritage and culture when he railroaded through a bill that tore down the state’s traditional flag. Now he has paid the price of his treachery. When the people of Mississippi were given a opportunity, they voted overwhelmingly to retain their traditional flag. Now it’s Georgia’s turn. We are sure that the SPofGA will demand that Governor Perdue restore the true Georgia flag at an early date.
