RE: THE LEAGUE IN THE NEWS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The League of the South, the premier Southern nationalist organization, has been the subject recently of several opinion pieces and news stories. As usual, critical voices have been raised against the League. Increasingly, it has become evident that the League and its critics speak separate languages. Therefore, "it is fruitless to argue with those who view the world from a leftist, revolutionary perspective. They will never see things our way nor we theirs." said League President Michael Hill.

"It is the League's intention henceforth," noted Hill, "to refrain from being drawn into responding to specific charges and allegations made against us by those who wish us and our movement no good. We seek one thing, and one thing alone: A free Southern nation in which Southerners will be free to work out their own destiny with help from the guiding hand of Providence." Hill continued: "If our critics oppose us, then let them oppose us on this issue and not on the myriad peripheral issues on which they seek to engage us.

It seems to me that because the League has always been an organization dedicated to Southern independence, that particular issue would be the one upon which our opponents challenged us. But that has not been the case. Instead, they prefer to discuss slavery, racism, intolerance, and charge that we are a 'hate group.' Such tactics suggest that they are afraid to challenge us head-on on the merits of an independent South. But in the end, we really don't give a damn what they think about our vision for an independent South. It is this we pursue, and we pursue it for the good of our people. We don't need to explain ourselves any further."
