Rep. Steve Womack (Ark.) has introduced a proposed constitutional amendment (H.J. Res. 9) to allow Congress to pass a law to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States. Many brave men and women who serve and have served in the armed services feel deeply about the dignity of “Old Glory.” The physical desecration of this symbol of democracy and freedom is an affront to them and the memory of those who died in the service to this nation.  Members are urged to use the Action Center (action.fra.org/action-center) to ask their representative to vote for this proposed constitutional amendment.
