Sen. Cruz Introduces the Make American Flags in America Act of 2025
Ted Cruz website ^ | 3/7/2025 | Sen. Cruz

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) introduced the Make American Flags in America Act of 2025. This legislation closes loopholes in existing law meant to ensure that American flags displayed on federal property or procured by federal agencies to be manufactured completely in the United States from American materials.

Upon introduction, Sen. Cruz said, "There is bipartisan agreement that American flags should be produced in America using American materials, but loopholes in existing laws still allow Chinese manufacturers to sell flags, including through fraudulently-branded websites. This bill would close those loopholes. Congress should take it up and expeditiously pass it.”

This bill is cosponsored by Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.).

Hearing about this off and on all day; then it appeared in a ticker and I realized:

Good job Sen. Cruz; great optics. Well done.

This is pathetic. He’s worry about a pimple on the ass of a flea. They should not spend a second of their time on this.

This is akin to the “Fighting” Congresswomen video.

I’ll take our flag manufactured in the USA over a $600,000 grant to study menstrual cycles in transgender men.

I have been waiting to buy both an American flag and a POW flag because all of the ones I find, are made in China.
I DID find 1 company that made American flags, but way out of my price range.

Yes, I fly an Annin flag at our house. Very high quality with stitched-on stars, nothing printed. They last a long time and have vibrant colors. Highly recommended.

What a worthless politician.

Reminds me of something George W Bush would have done.

Is this really the best our Junior Senator from Texas can do? He’d be better off running to Cancun again.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!

It’s ALWAYS bugged me that when I go to buy a flag, I often find *Made in China* stamped on it.

I know! The smallest ones start around $30. I want a flag, not help pay someone's kid through college.

I’d rather see Cruz work with the TX GOP to clean up TX.

Yes but by default, nobody listens to you. I thought that you’d grown used to it and even grown to like it? :D

Is there an American Flag manufacturer that makes a flag that doesn’t fade?
I bought a 3’x5’ flag in 2022 by an American flag company and is is already fading.

You can buy American made flags now along with any American made product you want... That requires some thought prior to the purchase.
