Today is a new day and today there is a new south. We are a generation with the power to influence, the power to overcome our inherited mistakes, a generation that recognizes there exist a need for fundamental change. We are a generation with a collective ideology that there exist no boundaries, no limitations to a person's creative capabilities and potential, and that there exists no further contention between us; based solely upon ethnicity, creed or gender. We uphold the truth that we are all American's, we are the faces of South Carolina. We feel that our beautiful state of South Carolina, should be a representation of every citizen. That every political decision, from conception to proposal to litigation to law, should be made with the intent to advance prosperity and virtue of our sovereign state and her people. The congruity that will persist, believes that time is valuable and should no longer be wasted on antiquated attitudes and their manifestation within our states repositoriums. This petition is an overture of permanent removal of the Confederate Flag located at the South Carolina State House. Collectively our signatures represent our unwillingness to continue to be subjected to and to subject others, to the controversial symbolism this flag represents. As law abiding, taxpaying-citizens whose values and prosperity are being shadowed and dictated by this flag's presence, we ask that our elected officials arbitrate the Confederate Flag's removal to a more appropriate setting. The flag's removal should be considered not only necessary but of high importance to our elected officials, and we are optimistic that this congruity will lead to a timely modus operandi of the Confederate Flag's removal. Sincerely Signed,
