Southern heritage buffs vow to use the Virginia gubernatorial election as a platform for designating April as Confederate History and Heritage Month.
The four candidates have differing views on the Confederacy, an issue that has been debated for years in the commonwealth.
"We're not just a few people making a lot of noise," said Brag Bowling, a spokesman for the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the oldest hereditary organization for male descendents of Confederate soldiers. "This is not a racial thing; it is good for Virginia. We're going to keep pushing this until we get it."
Each candidate recently shared his thoughts on what Mr. Bowling called a "litmus test for all politicians." Lt. Gov. Timothy M. Kaine would not support a Confederate History and Heritage Month. Former state Attorney General Jerry W. Kilgore would support something that recognizes everyone who lived during the Civil War.
Sen. H. Russell Potts Jr. and Warrenton Mayor George B. Fitch would support a Confederate History and Heritage Month. Many past Virginia governors honored the Civil War or the Confederacy.
In 1990, former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, the nation's first black governor, a Democrat and a grandson of slaves, issued a proclamation praising both sides of the war and remembering "those who sacrificed in this great struggle."
Former Govs. George Allen and James S. Gilmore III, both Republicans, issued Confederate History Month proclamations. In 2000, Mr. Gilmore replaced that proclamation with one commemorating both sides of the Civil War -- a move that enraged the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
Gov. Mark Warner, a Democrat, has refused to issue a gubernatorial decree on either side of the Civil War.
Mr. Kaine, another Democrat, would decline to issue a Confederate History and Heritage Month proclamation if he is elected governor, said his campaign spokeswoman, Delacey Skinner.

Southerners fighting for the illegal 'Confederate' regimé wanted slavery to continue. Not all Southerners took the side of treason.

I realize it's difficult for you to say the brand name, let's try, okay repeat, 'Lincoln, as in Town Car', you see how easy that was. Once again 'Lincoln'.
When and where will you been making to the formal surrender?
Thank you very much. I have been called much worse. Now, what can I call you? What dread disease can I say that you have? Like I said before, you are comical.
Let's see if you can contribute anything on this thread. It has nothing to due with your same old neo-confederate baloney, so I understand it will be a monumental challenge. ...lolol

How are the medical specialists treating the Confedititis? Any prognostication on full recovery?
like i said before, don't you get tired of being laughed AT & thought a FOOL????
since you showed up on FR, not even ONE of your posts indicated that you have brain function or an education beyond 3d grade. perhaps you should head over to DU to be "close & personal" with the other DUMMIES, haters, revisionists & DAMNyankee morons.
also, PLEASE cease capitalizing ANY portion of my screen-name. it's an Indian cultural/quasi-religious thing, which you are seemingly incapable of understanding.

you know, I would like to thank R. E. Lee for ordering Pickett's charge and also for not going around Little Round Top like Gen. Hood wished to do. It really changed the war and probably kept the US from speaking German these days...
he/she/it HELPS the dixie liberty cause with every STUPID, mindless post.
