New law for Old Glory
By year's end, a new law will require every Old Glory sold in Minnesota stores to be American made. It's the latest and strongest attempt by states to stem imports of foreign-made U.S. flags.

By year's end, a new law will require every Old Glory sold in Minnesota stores to be American made. It's the latest and strongest attempt by states to stem imports of foreign-made U.S. flags.
The new law doesn't spell out a penalty for violators. In Minnesota, the default punishment for prohibited acts is a misdemeanor offense, carrying up to a $1,000 fine and 90 days in jail.

Nothing like removing more of our freedoms.
The democrats find it acceptable to burn, stomp on and piss on the flag, yet it BETTER be one MADE in the USA!
ACLU will be along directly with the Commerce clause.....
Symbolism over substance every time.
Now if we can add tv’s,automobiles,and a zillion other things to that list we might get some jobs back !!!
Well said my FRiend.
Old Glory flies high at my abode and as to where it is made doesn't create a concern for my spirit in it.
I respect it for what it represents.
That's what matters the most. Thank you my FRiend.
Spoke in true conservative form...

Rukivina is an Iron Range dyed in the wool socialist, unionist, democrat.
Who keeps the Minnesota ping list?

How does he handle his liquor?
As long as he doesn't drink and drive he can't be all that bad as a legislature can he?
I like the latest one where they want new laws for swimming pool safety now...That was hilarious.
Interesting but not surprising. Rukavina is a typical Range Democrat moron. Funny how not a word about this came out until they got it passed and signed.
Yes, and the "made in" tag should be pi$$ed on, burned, trampled, and held with disdain while our flag is flying high.
We are the greatest nation because we tote more freedom than most others and we should keep it that way.
Those starving kid's depend upon a strong and free nation for their moral being because of the personal compassion created by a country with personal rights.
