For the fifth time politicians have succeeded in pushing an amendment to outlaw burning the United States flag through the House of Representatives. This time they have the best chance of using the conservative control of capital hill to ratify it. Those who wish to see a ban on flag burning long for the United States to amend its Constitution to resemble nations like China, North Korea, Iraq, Iran and Cuba. The idol worship is not the real danger in the flag-burning ban; this law is an attack to the core of the freedom of expression. For years there hasn’t been the inertia to restrict our rights through what is still a very unpopular move, but now that the “conservatives” are securing all three branches of the government and then some they may me able to do this.
We won’t get a vote on this, it has come time to stand up, with our families and neighbors and fight for the first amendment. This July 4th is Flag Burning day, true independence will shine in streets across the country, when people from all over exercise their constitutionally protected rights.

apparently you have nothing better to occupy your time, as depicted by this half baked scheme of yours. just because it is currently legal does not mean it is acceptable, especially to those of us who served our country. my suggestion - if you don't like the united states, feel free to leave. i'll even be happy to pay half your plane fare to get rid of you.
