SNC convention to be held Friday, November 1, through Sunday, November 3, 2013,

Fall Creek Falls State Park.

 

What is the Southern National Congress?

• The Southern National Congress (SNC) is a neo confederate, white nationalist organization who works to reignite and legitimize the Southern Secession Movement and whose goal is a Christian society dominated by whites.

​

• From the SNC website: “Our identity, culture, liberty, and well-being are threatened as never since 1865. These threats are subtle and insidious, yet potentially more destructive than the outright invasion, military force, and occupation used against us in the Second War of Independence.”

​

Associations with Extremist Hate Group

• The SNC emphasizes that it is not trying to replace any of “the fine Southern organizations engaged in defense of our heritage” such as recognized extremist hate group League of the South (LOS).

​

• The SNC leadership are officers or board members of the League of the South, a recognized white supremacist extremist hate group.

​

• Current SNC Chairman, David O. Jones, who is also President of the TN Chapter of LOS, believes the US Government has declared war on the South (The Empire’s Senate declared war on the South on Thursday, 27 May 2013). The SNC Covenant pledges “To support every measure which restores the sovereignty of our State and local governments, and the sovereignty of the Southern people.”

​

• The Southern National Congress is the political wing of the extremist white supremacist hate group League of the South, with considerable overlaps in high-level leadership:

​

David O. Jones, SNC Chairman and Tennessee LOS President

Mark Thomey, SNC Vice-Chairman and LOS Board Member.

Wade Rabun, SNC Treasurer and Calvert County, Maryland LOS.

Mike Crane, SNC Board of Governors and LOS Board Member.

Robert Mills, SNC Board of Governors and Missouri LOS Chairman.

Michael Munday, SNC Board of Governors and Kentucky LOS.

Stever Walker, SNC Board of Governors and Florida LOS.

Pete Wigginton, SNC Board of Governors and Maryland LOS Heritage Officer.

 

What is the League of the South?

• In 2000 the Southern Poverty Law Center began listing the League as an extremist hate group. They are white nationalists and supremacists.

​

• The League advocates withholding loyalty from the federal government and pledging allegiance to the Southern National Congress.

​

• Michael Hill, League of the South President, was asked last week by a follower “Do you consider n****** “Southerners”? If so, how are you going to get them to go along with secession?” Hill's response: “To us, Southerners are of European descent. They (African Americans) can either go along with it, fight against it, or get out.” (http://bit.ly/HjISzJ)

 

Tennessee State Legislators Set To Speak at Southern National Congress Convention. The SNC and LOS are trying to legitimize and mainstream their organizations by cloaking their racist agenda with TN State Legislators who may not know the close relationship between the SNC and extremist hate group League of the South.

 

• Guest speaker Tennessee State Senator Frank S. Nicely (R) Dist-8 “will provide several proposals for legislation which Delegates can take back to their respective State legislatures. One of Senator Nicely’s proposals is to have the State legislature nominate US Senatorial candidates. This would change the electoral dynamics of the US Senate as the Senators would have to be more responsive to the States rather than that nebulous concept of “the people.” ( Tennessee State Senator, Proposes Partial End To Direct Election Of U.S. Senators http://huff.to/1imFP5J)

​

• Guest speaker Tennessee State Representative Judd Matheny (R) Dist-47, sponsored the “Tennessee Balance of Powers Act.” This bill is an attempt to end the settlement of 'foreigners' in Tennessee by framing immigration as a 'state's rights' issue. See the bill here: http://1.usa.gov/1dezCZb.

   

Why TN Anti-Racist Network is Taking Action.

• We do not accept any form or appearance of racism in public service.

• Elected officials should demonstrate a deep and meaningful commitment to equality, and at the least should not openly endorse white supremacy and minority inferiority.

• These legislators' choice to speak at this gathering gives the appearance that they, and their constituents, support the SNC's ideas of white superiority and secession from the United States. 

• TN elected officials should not support the growth of hate groups in Tennessee through speaking engagements that falsely legitimize racist ideas and action. Racism is a community issue, and anti-racism is a community responsibility.
