Flag Day
Urgent Action: Free Speech at Risk!
As Secretary Powell wrote in 1999, “The First Amendment exists to insure that freedom of speech and expression applies not just to that with which we agree or disagree, but also that which we find outrageous. I would not amend that great shield of democracy to hammer a few miscreants. The flag will be flying proudly long after they have slunk away.”
Tell your senators that the flag amendment would betray the very principles the flag represents.
