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.
Maybe you could ping your list again to keep this thread bumped.
BTTT!
Thank you for the ping

I can't fault them on some of this, some I most CERTAINLY can..
Not a poll. Thought you might want to see this if you have not already.
I have an Australian flag on my desk. Will that suffice?
"I have an Australian flag on my desk"
Long as it doesn't say "Viva los illegals!"
I'm buggered if I know why it would...
thanks for the heads-up, Kristinn...
The way things are going here it could say "Viva los illegals" on the U.S. flag next year.
The BIG THING that gets to me, is it's punishing the kids who behaved, the patriotic kids such as my grandson would be if he were in that school district....and rewarded the brats.
I'll call tomorrow and be nice ....but firm.
We sorted all that out a few years ago.
John Howard won the 2001 election by saying, "We decide who comes here, and the circumstances under which they come".
No longer an issue here.
I'd....really like to...make a snappy...retort to that....
But this is more or less a family type of place.
You naughty lass. =;^)
Yeah, it was bad. But it was the first thing that came to mind. And it was funny. So I posted it. : )
Good Grief....I just saw a news report about the planned hugh pro-illegal rally scheduled for Dallas on Sunday...
It says they are expecting over 200,000...and it showed the Latino planning session...one of the speakers told the planners to tell the group to leave the Mexico flags at home.."because it doesn't LOOK good"...so they went out and BOUGHT a couple hundred thousand American flags and TOLD them to carry them...
Now that sounds spontaneous, and sincere, doesn't it?? BLECH!
Thanks for the link. I agree with you that it's not fair to the law abiding students.
Your help is requested.

Can you be more specific?
