My first vanity in all the years I've been a member of FR.
Yesterday I took down my Trump flag. It was worn out with only the TR remaining. In it's place I put up AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN flag.
For those not familiar, the Appeal to Heaven flag was commissioned by George Washington just prior to the Revolutionary War for the six ships that made up the American navy.
The tree on the flag represented opposition to the British prohibition of American citizens cutting down the old growth forest on their lands. The British wanted these trees for use as masts on their own ships.
The flag was used throughout the War and was an acknowledgement that the fledgling American forces were outnumbered and out supplied and that it would only be by God's favor and grace that they would likely win independence.
So, I am appealing to heaven that in this election God will again have mercy and grant grace and favor on our country and that corruption in this election will be thwarted and His will be done.

My American flag is upside down. We are in danger. It is an emergency.
It will stay upside down until the republic is safe.
There is a lot of deep and rich meaning behind that flag and the phrase. It is from the writings of John Locke that basically says that we get our rights from God, not a King or government. When we are deprived of our rights and have no appeal on earth, we have the liberty make an appeal to heaven. Our Founding Fathers knew his writings well. It would be a good idea for us to learn them too.
You stated it so well. Thank you.
Gonna have to get one. Thanks.
Great flag but I fly the gadsden flag instead.

I had one on my Facebook page when I had a Facebook.
I need to research where I can order one.
Thanks, for the heads-up on this flag.
:)
Mine is already up and flying!!!
I have done the same thing, I had it as my picture leading up to the election.
I did not know about this. I just ordered one from Gadsden and Culpepper.
That’s the flag I fly out front when the weather is co-operating! Got mine from Gadsden and Culpepper, but they are sold out of this nice nylon version. :-)
BEAUTIFUL
Thank you, frogjerk-!
We have been flying ours, as well!
We have one.....
...we took it to the Stop the Steal Rally
I got mine on Amazon
