| Message | Mr. Speaker, I think we should ban the use of our national flag for commercial purposes by private sector entities. I don't think that we should ban flag-burning or any form of protest that involves the flag. I wouldn't say that the national flag is the highest and most important entity within our borders and beyond; I would prefer to say the most important entity is our people. The flag is intended to represent the people, but we can't force them to feel represented by it. -- Cletus Barlow, Chairman of the GNRG |
