"the only tourism dollars we will be spending in the City of Richmond is at the Whitehouse of the Confederacy and Hollywood Cemetery."

That would be great IF that were true. There is lodging hotels and motels rents and City Taxes, Food, Travel expense, Car or airlines, bus or Taxi's. Each one is city revenue in licenses, fees, taxes.

You are correct about everything being removed. There is not a single thing in my town named for a white person, of any era, that I can think of except the county jail. They haven't thought of that one yet. The only way we can fight back against these things is with our feet and our pocketbooks.

I personally don't buy anything in my town if I can find it within 25 miles of my house elsewhere. I vote against every city improvement tax without regard to it purpose. My city has losted 1/3 of its population base. My vote "NO" counts more each day.

Our National Military Parks have told only one side of our history for years. I haven't been to a National Military Park since. Their attendence has fallen off even if it has only been by one.

As I said before I am full of sour Grapes.
