email 1/2008 SOUTHERN PARTY The Southern Party has its first elected official. Wayne Willingham was elected Mayor of West Point, Alabama, on August 22, [2000], by a vote of 41-40. The election was non-partisan. All-white town, pop. 295 in 2000. His brother is the lawyer of choice for members of the KKK and other white supremacist groups all across the South and, finally, his father is widely believed to have been the main leader of the KKK and other white supremacist activities in Cullman county for the past five decades. This is pretty common knowledge in Cullman county. %u2013 comment at Left in Alabama, leftinalabama.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=716, 11/2007.
