| Flag Desecration |
| There is a bill in the US House right now to ban desecration of the flag of the United States. While I would never burn or desecrate the flag, I feel that it is a form of free speech and should not be abridged. This is one example of more government control. I do not say the pledge to the flag and you can read about that here. Please write your congressman and urge them to vote agianst this Constitutional Amendment. On this page you can read the text of the amendment. |
