Oppose the flag-desecration amendment!
Despite the uproar around the federal marriage amendment, the Senate is
holding a hearing this week on another proposed amendment to the U.S.
Constitution ?- one that would change the First Amendment for the first
time ever.
The proposed amendment would ban the desecration of the American flag,
and in doing so desecrate what the flag represents, and what millions
of Americans have died to defend.
As Senator John Glenn has said, those "who died following that banner,
did not give up their lives for a red, white and blue piece of cloth.
It would be a hollow victory indeed if we preserved the symbol of our
freedoms by chipping away at those fundamental freedoms themselves."
