Take Down The Confederate Flag
In the wake of the senseless loss of life at Emmanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina, we believe that Dylan Roof's motivation for this crime was indeed a deep seated hatred of and an extreme mental anguish towards minorities particularly African Americans in this country. We arrive at this conclusion due to images exemplified on his social media accounts. We can amicably agree that Dylann Roof the domestic terrorist responsible for the loss of 9 American lives held a strong belief in the Confederacy and it's policies and beliefs. Beliefs that all Americans are not created equal, that African Americans are nothing more than property, and that ultimately they didn't deserve the basic rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America.
By signing this petition you will demonstrate to the nation that a strong consensus has been reached. The consensus is that these senseless acts of racism inspired domestic terrorism can not and will not be tolerated anywhere in these Continental United States or it's territories. As a result of this belief we DEMAND that the racist iconography being displayed in South Carolina known as the Confederate Flag be removed from ALL government buildings PERMANENTLY. Specifically the Confederate Flag that is being flown over the State Capital building in Charleston, SC.
Gov. Nikki Haley we demand that you TAKE DOWN THE FLAG that Dylann Roof killed these 9 Americans in the name of.

Why is this important?
Dylann Roof committed domestic terrorism in the name of the Son's of the Confederacy. He has Confederate Iconography all over his social media accounts. The racist beliefs that Dylann Roof exhibits were birthed out of the his beliefs in confederate principles. This flag no longer has a place in American Society and we as a nation can not move the conversation of racial equality forward with it in place above government buildings anywhere in America.
