- 15
by Calvin Johnson
Dear Friends,
Have you read my first post on
Confederate History Month in April?
http://ConfederateHeritageMonth.com
Let's go after city, county and state
proclamations in February. In March let's write the news media,
TV, Radio and Newspapers, and ask them what they are planning for
April---Confederate History Month. I will offer a form letter to
the media later.
We have created 30 stories that
could be used on TV, Radio and Newspapers. See list below, please
copy and use where ever they will be helpful.
If you would like to receive a
weekly update on Proclamations, events and Memorial Services
