YOUR ANSWER!
IF...
(1) If you believe there can be NO compromise on the matter of segregation
(2) If you believe that integration will bring the evils of miscegenation (interbreeding between the different races)
(3) If you believe that social intermingling and miscegenation will be seriously detrimental to both races and our civilization
(4) If you realize that either Communisitic influences or economic pressure groups stand behind every effort to invade State's Rights and force integration and miscegenation on the people of the South
(5) If you believe in the rights of the Sovereign States to handle their own internal affairs
(6) If you realize that indifference, apathy, and the inclination of some to accept desegregation as "inevitable".... are our greatest enemies
(7) if you are positively dedicated, in your own mind, to the preservation of segregation without equivocation or qualification
(8) If you are ready and willing to DO SOMETHING positive about this very serious and present problem
THEN...
You should immediately join Your Local Citizens Council
BECAUSE...
This organization, composed of your fellow citizens, and affiliated with the Association of Citizen's Councils of Florida
