Freedom and the Flag

It's a sad fact that we have to keep fighting efforts to protect the core liberties enshrined in the Constitution. Senate leaders, in another election-year ploy, are trying once again to pass an amendment banning flag burning. The irony, of course, is that while they will do this in the name of patriotism, they will be curtailing freedom of speech: the same freedom that protects my right to write these words and your right to read them. Please sign this petition lobbying the Senate to once again defeat this un-American proposal.
