I apologize for not following up but I have been on vacation for the past two weeks. I had internet service only briefly just to check the RSS feed.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I can assure you that the flag was in the justice court of the old original courthouse building. They are placed behind the judge, with the US flag to the far left, the MS flag in the middle, and the Christian flag iin the far right corner.<BR/><BR/>There is no way to get pictures because no cellphones are allowed into the court room. <BR/><BR/>I will be glad to verify that if you need me to.<BR/><BR/>My reasons for not taking action are multiple. First, I'm not from Ranking county so I think someone from there needs to take the lead. Second, my partner (yes, you know what that means) and I are facing some tough issues here in north MS and are having to choose our battles very carefully. Finally, and I admit this is a real cowardly reason, I'm not sure I want to put my parents through this if it were to come to a major head.<BR/><BR/>Call me a coward, if you wish, but I want to support as much as I can. Let me know what I can do to help you. I can provide my partner as corroborating witness.<BR/><BR/>I have only one connection remaining in Ranking County and I am trying to get in touch with him to gather more information.<BR/><BR/>Again, sorry for the delay. I didn't expect it to grow so quickly, but I'm glad it has! And if you need to contact me by phone, email me and I will give you my number.Ken in MShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14813268581101875608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730010905668737133.post-13186315347948855042008-05-31T15:43:00.000-05:002008-05-31T15:43:00.000-05:00Butch has a good point. But your letter looks good as a first step to getting the flag taken down. Thanks for taking action.<BR/><BR/>Mike Smith<BR/>Denver, COSmithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00759199332498620460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730010905668737133.post-22454865578485237222008-05-31T14:26:00.000-05:002008-05-31T14:26:00.000-05:00Unfortunately, all I have is the report of one reader. I don't have any reason to disbelieve him, but I am a bit surprised he has not come forward yet here. I guess I'll hold off until we get confirmation. I just thought this would have happened by now.vjackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05868095335395368227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730010905668737133.post-51636234850505903022008-05-31T12:04:00.000-05:002008-05-31T12:04:00.000-05:00Did we ever get firm confirmation that this flag was indeed there? I’d hate for the letter to be sent if it turns out to have been a mistake.Butchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11394481318315241594noreply@blogger.com
