PROTEST RALLY to fly American Flags on FLAG DAY - San Bernardino City Council won't!

The City of San Bernardino has voted to NOT DISPLAY a large AMERICAN FLAG previously flown at City Hall, on national holidays since it might offend somebody. It took two votes--the final one was 4 to 3.

At issue is not the small U.S. flag normally flown but the big one that has been previously flown at City Hall.

Four City Council Members have refused to permit the large flag to be flown on patriotic National Holidays, for fear of 'offending' someone.

We want that large American Flag again flown PROUDLY, on America's National Holidays!

Along with others, I am organizing a rally at San Bernardino City Hall for Wednesday beginning at 3pm.

If you are within driving distance of San Bernardino--please plan to be there.

If you can HELP me and others, we want Boy Scouts, Military, Teachers, everybody there with flags. Peacefully.

I will add further information to this thread and ping those who reply. I am off to meetings and will add more information and replies later.

Posted below is a color flyer you can print, email or post. Please get this to as many people as possible.

Wherever you live, this kind of attitude is heading your way among career politicians and we MUST nip it in the bud now.

I understand there was an article in the San Bernardino Sun newspaper about the vote but I did not find it in the online version.

Official Meeting Minutes including the roll call vote is not online-only available hardcopy at the City Clerk's meetings.

Display of U.S. Flag on Memorial Day, Flag Day and Fourth of July. (See Attached)

MOTION: That the Facilities Department be directed to display the 22’x30’ U.S. Flag on Memorial Day, Flag Day and on Fourth of July.

you know i saw the photograph in front of their city hall. the one thing missing was YOUTH! Youth needs too know and understand what this all means to them and their future and not protesting and calling God a Hitler and stoping on the American Flag. I visited back to the town and area where i grew up and found something that made me sick to my stomach. A Britishflag flying in the front yard of a property owner. No american flag being flown with it. This took me back to when in new york and someone told me that the new york boundry would be extended and they were working on a new map. this is definately harrasement because they know they are upsetting the american people. also the queen anne war is over and certainly has been for a very long time. so what are they really doing? soe secret as to making a no order between the US and Britain? because this flag deal will and this old tactic of immigration (illegal) will certainly start something all over again and REVOLUTION is that word. The American people pay and work for what they have and what they have known. Illegals coming in and telling the americn people how it will be? show them the bus or plane just like they did after nam and brought all those people to US. some liked t and many did not and hijacked planes, etc to get back. They are not here for a legitimate purpose and if need be we could consider a Wall like they have in China. I wish i was in that area to participate.

just before 9/11 i was told that Bush was getting ready to open the gate between the united states and mexico. people have built at least 12 foot fences already around their property charged with electricity because of theft, etc.this is the united states of america and why are we having to work all day and stay up all night to protect what is not theirs? i have also just learned something that i did not kow. there are mexican ties in the Bush family through marriage.

"i have also just learned something that i did not kow. there are mexican ties in the Bush family through marriage."

You apparently don't 'get out' much. That's been a very well known fact for a very long time.
