<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Kristin:</div><div><br></div><div>You apparently don't read very well. No one - or the statement sent from the Policy Committee or the Division President - said that you could not speak or write your thoughts, feelings or whatever about any situation. They just stated to do it as an individual instead of hiding behind the name of an organization for which you are not authorized to speak. Your feelings about the UDC were made very clear in your response to the letter but it is obvious that you did not understand what you read. As for me, I am certain that my Confederate ancestors - and I have a LOT of them - are very proud of me. And the members of previous generations raised the monies to erect monuments and other ways to honor our Confederate heroes and our organization still carries on the work of our foremothers today. Your kind is what is running the membership down. All you do is whine and put down the UDC and, with your negativity, who wants to join something like that? If a member doesn't want to belong, why should a prospect? </div>
<div><br></div><div>As for the current situation at W&L, I wrote two letters to the President of W&L, one of which he responded to and one member wrote a Letter to the Editor which was published in the Richmond Times Dispatch yesterday. The difference is that we don't have to be patted on the back for being "good" Confederates and we didn't have to identify ourselves as UDC members. The words meant the same, with just our signatures. Many, many UDC members work behind the scenes to further our cause, without having to have our names plastered all over the newspapers or receiving acclamations from others. </div>
<div><br></div><div>In my estimation, you are all mouth and nothing else. The red hats and brunches accomplish a lot more than you give us credit for and a whole lot more than your mouthiness.</div><div><br></div><div>We don't need you and your negativity. You have made a good decision for yourself and the UDC to resign.</div>

I will not be sending renewing my dues this year as a member of the UDC. Due to the UDC’s increasingly politically correct ways of bowing down to the continued reconstruction of our Southern Heritage, history, culture and it’s failure to stand and fight against it, has led me to no longer want my name on a membership belonging to such a group. Your ancestors would be ashamed of you and so I am with a sad heart but head held high am resigning my membership. I do not have to be a United Daughters of the Confederacy member to keep my lineage near and dear, remembered, appreciated, respected, and shared. The UDC is dying to the UDC’s sad past for being known as “snooty”, difficult to work with, hard to change, stuck in the old ways, push overs, and willing to play nice with the likes of those who would rather squash us and and our heritage instead of standing steadfast and strong against our own cultural and historical genocide. Some now see is it really worth the effort to join the UDC.. No one, will tell me that I cannot speak my peace about the outrages done on my heritage, history, culture. I would only be so proud to wear my ribbon and shake my fists at those Damn Yankee carpetbaggers to are still invading.. It is my wish and hope for the UDC to forgo their nansy, pansy, red hat wearing, going out for brunch do nothings to get some GUTS and stand up for their heritage, history, and culture. Because like it or not ladies we are under cultural genocide and it won’t be much longer that to say the word Confederate, Dixie, Rebel, etc., will be outlawed and become hate speech and a jailed offense.. <u></u><u></u></span></i></p>
