I called Specter's office about the Flag Desecration Amendment
and I can tell you that based on his aide...he is going to vote for it. Not that I am not suprised but they are going to politicize this and we will lose more of our rights.

This is important people! If this passes then perhaps the next amendment will be to make it illegal to speak out against the president....and here we go goosestepping into fascism...


www.senate.gov

find your senator and call today!!!!

I called Santorum and Specter..knowing they are boneheads but I still called to voice my opinion!!!

2. Talk about a waste of public money...
A flag desecration amendment? Puuhllleeeezz...

Hypocritical Xtian flag idolaters all of them.

You may NOT burn that synthetic fabric made by cheap labor in China!!!! If you dare to defy our laws against burning the plastic stripey thing, we shall imprison you!

Now watch this bombing of brown skinned civilians! Yeeehaaawww..

3. that is what I told Santorum and Specter's aides...
I told them that I figured both would go "goosestepping" toward this amendment but that with so many millions without health care this seemed like a big waste of money and time.

4. Send him the picture of Bush signing a flag
Ask him if the Amemndment is passed if writing on a flag would be considered an impeachable offense.

5. Here we go again kicking this dead horse.
It will never pass. It's all just more pandering to win votes.

7. No I Think He's Accusing The Wing Nuts of Doing the Kicking
I'm pretty sure that sentinel chicken is expressing the same view as mine. The people supporting this ammendment nonsense are beating a non-issue with a club to appeal to the small minded on whose votes they depend.

It's political grandstanding. It will never get the needed support, country wide.

8. Prayer in school, the pledge of allegiance, flag burning amendments.
Haven't we taken these rides before? Contact your Senator if you think it'll help but remember to save a copy of the E-mail because you'll need it again and again and again.
