To: Repeal The 17th

The Confederate Memorial Carving of three Confederate leaders of the Civil War on Stone Mountain
is the largest bas-relief sculpture in the world.
It is 400 feet above the ground, covers 3 acres, and is recessed 42 feet into the mountain.

The carving depicts President Jefferson Davis (riding on “Blackjack”),
General Robert E. Lee (riding on “Traveler”)
and General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson (riding on “Little Sorrel”).

Three quotes of Great Cousin Bobby always come to mine:

"Duty is the most sublime word in our language. Do your duty in all things. You cannot... do more. You should never wish to do less."

"I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing... than to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity."

"I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot... control himself."

And here we are told that Great Cousin Bobby... didn't know Obama--
