Restoration through constitutional means!

      Confederate States Elections       Granting of Citizenship       Confederate States Citizenship

Confederate States Congress       Confederate States Constitution

There is no individual or organization which has been granted the authority under the Confederate States Constitution to assume upon themselves the now vacant but valid offices of the Confederate States Government.  In like manner no individual or organization has been granted the authority to decide who is and is not a Confederate States Citizen as well as to charge a fee for such services.

The issue of who is and is not a Confederate States Citizen is of critical importance!  However to permit this decision to become the purview of a few self appointed individuals claiming to have already filled the now vacant but valid seats in the Confederate States Government would be to abandon our cause on the very doorstep of victory.

The discussion of this particular topic should not be interpreted as divisive, for of equal importance is that we stand together least we fail to achieve our objectives.  It is the realization that we will be doing so in truth without any false misconceptions which might become a serious distraction at a later date.

The support of all those who have allied themselves with the Confederate Movement at large is deeply appreciated, however there are a few among our numbers which have laid claim to having already filled the now valid but vacant seats in the government of the Confederate States of America.  There have been at least three organizations and likely more, each having made this same claim, that of being 'The Confederate States Government' even though it is more then likely those seats will indeed be legitimately filled, all in due course of time.

When the time of fulfillment has fully come it is certain that any individual or group who maintains the claim of being 'The Confederate States Government' will simply be ignored while the elections are held and our government is sworn into office after an absence which dates back to 1865.  Again this issue raises little conflict save for a deep concern for those who might believe these claimants to be true, only to be faced with the reality of the situation at a dater date.  Thereby many will hesitate to take appropriate action based upon their having made such claims.

There will not be any challenge forthcoming by C.S.A. News or the Confederate Legion of which I am founder as to the reasoning of anyone who makes such a claim, only to say, no organization within the Confederate movement at this time holds the authority, let alone the power to assume upon themselves the offices of our Confederate States Government.  Back before home computers were common a gentleman actually called on the telephone scolding this editor for suggesting in a newsletter article the office of President, Confederate States of America was vacant, claiming that he was The Confederate States President.

If one were to consider carefully they will soon realize any number of organizations or individuals could easily make precisely the same claim and have, but the truth is otherwise and passing time will make that issue perfectly clear.  None-the-less it will all take place in due course of time, however it will happen via elections arranged for that purpose.  The issue of who is and is not a citizen will in like manner be resolved when the moment has arrived.  In the intervening time period those who maintain such claims are welcome to believe whatever they may choose as long as they abide by lawful, peaceful and honorable methods.  After all that is included in the many reasons for which we struggle!

God save the Confederacy
