This petition is just as racist as RL Tornton was! I agree it should be renamed, but not for anything stated in this petition! Why not rename the freeways for the actual FOUNDER of Dallas, John Neely Bryan? That is a WAY better idea then _ANY_ president would be!

I am in communication with the Sons of Confederate Army, As you know they are totally against the Removal of the Robert E. Lee statue, General was not a racist, he was against the civil war. He was forced to go to the South, because Lincoln wanted Lee to lead an army, and attack Virginia, Lee's home state. There are many other aspects of Lee's positive history that should justify leaving his statue alone. Why not put a plaque on the plaque, explaining Lee's complete history, good and bad? I have provided them with the CBS 11 news article which briefly tells about your work in calling for the name change. there's an old saying.... THE ENEMY OF MY EMEMY IS MY FRIEND. our mutual enemy is the Dallas Citizens Council, and their bought and paid for mayor, and Dallas City Councilmember As you point out in your petition, it is unacceptable to have R L Thornton's name on a major Dallas freeway. I feel that you and the Sons of the Confederate army have a common view, that hypocrisy is not acceptable. I will be speaking before the Dallas City Council at 9 am. The speech will address this hypocrisy. P.S. Grant Stinchfield, KLIF's 570 am radio talk show host, to make the hypocrisy point in calling for the removal of Malcolm X's name off a Dallas street. Can we Imagine how this would stirrup the black community? This remove statue, remove name game is intentional. It is all about both wag the dog, and causing further, a further non-existent issues to divide us. I believe that Charlottesville was a staged event, to begin the TIDAL WAVE...WHICH IS EXTREMELY FAST AND POWERFUL....to cause what we are seeing today. Also, it looks line the masterminds of this 'evil" are following the Hegelian Theory, which does 3 things. 1. Create a problem that doesn't exist. 2. Present a solutionto this problem which serves the Master Minds interests. 3. Implement the Solution. THESIS, ANTI-THESIS, SYNTHESIS P.P.S. By signing this petition, I am not s

I'm stunned that I didn't know this about R. L. Thornton. I'm stunned that the city honors a klansmen so openly and blantantly. I'm surprised a change hasn't happened sooner.
