A different topic here - email I just received from
Senator Bill Frist, since I'm on his mailing list:

==========================================

"Just a quick note to let you know that the Senate will debate the “Flag Protection Amendment” in the end of June. If it passes -- and I will do everything in my power to see that it does -- this constitutional amendment will give one of our Nation's proudest and most treasured symbols the protection it deserves.

Polls have shown that roughly 80% of the American people want to vote on the right to protect the flag. In addition, all 50 state legislatures have passed resolutions asking Congress to pass an amendment -- to be sent back to the states for debate and ratification.

Clearly, the American people have spoken. It’s time for the Senate to listen.

Battles have culminated in the raising of that flag. Countless U.S. soldiers have – using their last breaths – labored on the battlefield to hoist that flag. And desecrating it is an insult to their memory, and their sacrifice.

That flag represents all that we are -- all that we stand for. Freedom. Liberty. It represents so much to so many. And I believe we have a moral obligation to rise as a body and declare that it is wrong to burn the flag of the United States of America.

If you'd like to comment on my blog on the need to protect our flag:

Good luck getting *that* to happen. Wonder if someone could invent hearing aids for Senators.

Bears repeating!
