| Message | Mr Speaker This bill will cut down self expression and free speech. If the people are unable to disagree with the government, then we will be but barely different from a dictatorship. |

| Message | Mr Speaker -- We do not see this bill as an infringement on free speech; rather, we see this bill as a way to safeguard the integrity of our nation. Citizens are free to disagree with the government, to protest and to petition and stage demonstrations, but we see no reason why our precious flag need be dragged into the mire of such rage. People can voice their disagreement with the government without peeing on our flag--the symbol of our greatness! Also, we see no reason to allow businesses, private or public, to use our country's symbol in the selling of goods. -- TSTG |
