Klosterkemper Ashamed Member Republican Party P. O. Box 322 Greensburg IN 47240 markklosterkemper@gmail.com 812-614-9463 GOVE Never to return to South Carolina I am appalled by recent decisions of governmental entities. Like most Republicans, I disagree with the recent SCOTUS decisions that further limit states' rights. That same factor was the core issue that led to the Civil War. Countless confederate soldiers died fighting for state rights and the confederate flag is a reminder of their sacrifice made for their belief! As a lifelong resident of Indiana, I am not a racist, but a strong believer in home rule and states' rights. To disgrace those soldiers and their beliefs with an asinine knee-jerk reaction to remove THEIR flag is wrong and appalling. Last night after golf league, a large group of us have decided to discontinue our semi-annual golf junkets to South Carolina as sign of respect to fallen soldiers whose memories are now desecrated. Please read the attached article from the Pittsburgh Tribune that summarizes our sentiments. http://triblive.com/opinion/letters/8657943-74/confederate-flag-meaning#axzz3fUJkm9Kv It is sad that "politically correct" has now removed all traces of a spine in our leaders today! Thank you for listening and God bless.
