Take an American Flag to Work Day, Thursday, April 6, 2006.
All patriotic Americans who have been concerned (to put it mildly) about the predominance of flags of foreign nations at the recent pro-illegal alien marches and the desecration of the American flag by supporters of illegal aliens are being asked to participate in a demonstration of patriotism and American sovereignty by taking an American flag with them to work, school or anywhere this Thursday, April 6.
How it works is simple: Proudly carry an American flag with you wherever you are in public. Small parade style flags on sticks would work best for those who commute by bus or subway and those who walk to work. Carry it around with you when you go out for lunch and when you leave work.
Wear red, white and blue patriotic attire. Fly the American flag at your home. Fly an American flag from your car antenna. Tape an American flag in your car window. The goal is to have Old Glory be given the prominence it deserves and to remind everyone--politicians, illegal aliens and their enablers--that the American flag comes first in this country.
Folks have been clamoring for a march to respond to the pro-illegal alien marches. This is a way to do that without having to take time off from work and family responsibilities and still take a stand in public.
John McCain has been touting the pro-illegal alien marches as being effective in influencing polticians in Washington. Now's your chance to exercise your influence.
Please pass this message along to everyone you know and every patriotic blogger you can think of. Contact any patriotic group you belong to. Contact your local media and talk radio shows. We don't have George Soros to bankroll a publicity campaign. We just have us. Stand up for America and Old Glory this Thursday.
Naturally, I 'stoled' it from another FReeper. :-)
The eagle and flag together does something to me!
Thanks for the great selection of Old Glorys.
The one at top looks like the pin I am wearing ... every day.
Thankyou for the ping. I got my 'Flag' pin out of my jewelery box yesterday and plan to start wearing it!
BRAD IS ONE GREAT GUY!

If ya only knew the half of it....you'd cry with tears of joy.

We already have one (I bought right after 9/11). It's proudly on display at our front desk.
Just wanted to pass on something that is happening here in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area.
A local radio station (that carries the Tony Snow show), has been planning a rally for Thursday night...but is having a very difficult time finding a place to have the rally.
I just heard that every time they make arrangements with a city in this area for a park or something, the PRO-illegals groups will call the places and tell them, that IF they let this rally happen, they will be contributing to a RACIST group that wants to keep Mexicans out of America...and that they will show up and cause problems...
Therefore, even after they get a permit, they have been taken away because of this...
Just wanted you guys to know...that this kind of intimidation is going on out here...for those of us, and other groups trying to get together...(but THEY can have downtown DALLAS, no problem!!
That's typically what happens. The racist card is pulled out whenever they have nothing to stand on.
Thanks La Enchiladita.
Great Flag picture posts Smartass!! I saved some.
Dallas typically has a semi-alot of racial tension anyway...so this just plays right into that.

Lou Dobbs just announced "Take an American Flag to Work Day, Thursday, April 6."
I noticed he was wearing a flag lapel pin. Let's keep this thread bumped.
Okey Dokey!

I'm here.
Let's just say I have a very patriotic office at work. My flag has been on the wall for years. Along with a lot of other stuff.
