Conversations From The Streets
- By HK Edgerton
I am continuously amazed and gratified by the ovation that I receive from those who surround me when I post the Southern Cross on highways and overpasses of the South.
And I want you and others of our leadership to be made privy to some of the pertinent conversation and questions fielded over the past two weeks of that charge.
(1) Mr. HK, why has Southern Republican leaders not asked President Trump to refrain coming to the South touting Lincoln as America's greatest President? I won't vote for him again if he continues to do so. It is too much to bear!
