The term "redneck" has a long and illustrious history although today many people think of it as a pejorative description for rural people. Today' Rednecks are farmers, miners, and cowboys, but are just as likely to be pilots, postal workers, teachers or musicians, in other words, hard working individuals who uphold the values of independence, honesty, common sense, hospitality and family.

Save the Redneck is about being truthful and real. Redneck culture has it challenges with poverty, alcoholism, drug abuse, racism and violence. These are real problems that any culture with an oppressive history has to deal with when empowering itself. www.savetheredneck.com was started by a group of friends to provide a center point for the movement, a place of historical knowledge, and a venue for discussion. "We are not blind to the issues, and we refuse to be stereotyped by them," says Crit Callebs, co-founder of the movement.

Save the Redneck is in alignment with the ideology of cultural preservation. "We are proud of our culture and do not want to see it stereotyped or attacked. We are striving to bring awareness to, and change, this unacceptable behavior," says Crit Callebs, "Our aim is to set the record straight and celebrate everything positive about being a redneck."

Just saw a representative of Save The Redneck on Fox news this morning. I was really impressed with his response to Janeane Garofalo's attack of the Redneck. He was articulate and cool headed response and defense. He, by his demeanor alone, showed who is out of touch with the American soul - and it is not Janeane.
Thanks for pointing me to a new web site I will be reading daily.
