Spurrier's exact words:
<>" My opinion is we don't need the Confederate flag at our Capitol," 
Spurrier said Saturday. "I don't really know anybody that wants it 
there, but I guess there are a lot of South Carolinians that do want it 
there."

As you should have already heard, Coach Steve Spurrier made some very 
offensive remarks concerning our beloved Confederate Flag last week. He 
said it is time for "that damned flag to go" and that "he did not know 
of anyone who support it's flying on the state house grounds".
 
I need for the troops to rally to the front on this issue. Below is a 
list of individuals with USC who need to hear from us now! It is 
imperative to encourage your camp members to call them, write them, fax 
them, email them and express your outrage at the Coach's comments. 
Encourage your family members to do the same.

Write a letter to the editor of your local newspapers and encourage 
everyone you know to take part in this campaign to let Spurrier and USC 
know how you feel. We have a lot of work to do. The State Paper has also 
started an all out campaign to take get our flag down.

We need to act now before we lose the last visible public symbol of our 
Confederate heritage; the Battle flag at the Soldiers Monument. We are 
the defenders of the Confederate Soldiers good name. It is up to us. No 
one else will do it. We should not expect anyone else to defend it. 

Thanks,
Randy Burbage,
SC Div. Commander
