Florida Governor, Florida State House, Florida State Senate: Pass legislation to create "The Florida Heritage Protection Act" (LINK)
Pass legislation to create "The Florida Heritage Protection Act"
We, the people of the State of Florida, petition the Florida Governor, all members of the Florida House of Representatives and Florida Senate to create and pass legislation to protect monuments, memorials, and other public and private displays honoring our state's past and future soldiers who fought in war, regardless of present and future sentiments about the conflict in which our soldiers fought in.
We ask that the proposed legislation read as:
(1) No statue, monument, memorial, nameplate, or plaque which has
been erected for, or named or dedicated in honor of, the French and Indian War, American Revolution, War of 1812, U.S.-Mexican War, the War Between the States, Spanish American War, the Mexican border period, World War I, World War II, the Korean conflict, the Vietnam War, Operation Urgent Fury (Grenada), Operation El Dorado Canyon (Libya), Operation Just Cause (Panama), Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm (Persian Gulf War I), Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), and Operation Iraqi Freedom (Persian Gulf War II), and is located on public property, may be relocated, removed, altered, renamed, rededicated, or otherwise disturbed.
(2) No statue, monument, memorial, nameplate, plaque, historic flag
display, school, street, bridge, building, park, preserve, or reserve which has been erected for, or named or dedicated in honor of, any historical military figure, historical military event, military organization, or military unit, and is located on public property, may be renamed or rededicated.
(b) No person may prevent the governmental entity having responsibility for
maintaining any of the items, structures, or areas described in subsection (a) from taking proper and appropriate measures, and exercising proper and appropriate means, for the protection, preservation, care, repair, or restoration of such items, structures, or areas.
(c) For the purposes of this section, "public property" means all property owned or leased by the state of Florida, any county, municipality, metropolitan government, or any other entity that is created by act of the general assembly to perform any public function.
(d) This section shall not apply to items, structures, or areas described in
subsection (a) which are located on public property under the control of, or acquired by, the department of transportation which may interfere with the construction, maintenance, or operation of the public transportation system. The department shall strive to ensure that any such items, structures, or areas are preserved to the greatest extent possible.
SECTION 3. This act shall take effect upon becoming a law, the public welfare requiring it.
Our heritage needs to be protected now! By passing this proposed legislation soldiers will be honored for generations to come, regardless of how future generations may feel about the past conflicts in which the men, woman, and children of Florida served, fought, and died in.

From WZEP
SOUTHERN PRIDE
Dozens of vehicles drove nearly 100 miles across the panhandle this weekend in support of the Confederate Flag.
Organizers staged the latest convoy in the wake of recent attempts to remove the Confederate flag from area war memorials.
Citizens gathered Saturday morning near the fairgrounds in Crestview displaying the Confederate flag from pickup trucks, cars and motorcycles. The convoy drove through from Crestview to Fort Walton Beach to Milton in Santa Rosa County.
The Crestview City Council is scheduled to decide the fate of the flag at the Bill Lundy War Memorial in Crestview on September 14th. They delayed a decision at their last meeting.
Greg Lundy, great-grandson of the late Bill Lundy, says the family was content to have a single Confederate Flag flying at the memorial because it was appropriate. Now, they are everywhere, he says.
Crestview Mayor David Cadle had the flag removed in July without City Council approval and the Council ordered it returned until they decided the issue.

Honestly, I don't care how they refer to it. It's the revisionist part of history that's annoying.

I for one think the Confederate flag should keep on flying in Crestview. Nestled amongst the mobile home dealerships, rent to own joints and Hooters, it looks nice and appropriate.
