DECLARATION OF NATIONAL ORIGIN as a CONFEDERATE SOUTHERN

 

AMERICAN OF___________________________

 

 

 

 

My name is _______________________________ of _______________,

 

________________________ County, _________________.  I am ___________years old and in all ways

competent to give this affidavit.

 

I consider myself to be a Confederate Southern American.  The Confederate Battle flag is a venerated symbol of my ancestry and heritage.

 

I am a Bible believing Christian who sees the Confederate Battle flag as a venerated symbol of my Christian religious faith in that it is emblazoned with the cross or saltire of the martyr St. Andrew, the first disciple of Jesus Christ.  I also see in the white cross on the Confederate Battle flag, the greek letter “chi,” and early symbol for “Christos” or Christ.

 

Confederate Southern Americans are a remnant people from Southerners as a whole.  We are not defined purely by the region we hail from. Many of our ancestors were soldiers, citizens or subjects of a Confederate State or the Confederate States of America.

 

(Check if applicable) ____ Though I have no Confederate ancestry, I am married to Confederate Southern American, and consider myself a Confederate Southern American by marriage.

 

(Check if applicable) ____ Though I have no Confederate ancestry, I consider myself a Confederate Southern American by affirmation and adoption.

 

The customs, holidays, music and folkways of Confederate Southern Americans are unique to our people, and though grounded in the culture of the South, are in many ways different; and being different are misunderstood by modern Southern & American society.

 

Being a Confederate Southern American in no way intrudes on my patriotism as a citizen of the state of

 

_____________, and/or the United States of America.

 

I am a loyal and patriotic citizen who is requesting legal recognition of Confederate Southern Americans as a national origin group.

 

As a Confederate Southern American I request state and federal legal protection of my rights as part of a legitimate national origin group under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and all related state statutes.
