In the Alabama Division of the SCV we unforunately have some of these scoundrels. Anyone who supports these carpetbaggers lies and policies of false leadership is, in effect, a scalawag. We must make our elected officers do their jobs or call for their resignation or removal from their respective positions. They were elected to work for the Alabama Division, SCV. They have represented no one but their own self serving egos.
