Urging the Congress of the United States to adopt an amendment to
the Constitution of the United States to protect the flag of
the United States from desecration.
Whereas, There exist federal and state penal codes to protect
the flag of the United States from desecration; and
Whereas, The flag of the United States is a living symbol of
all our freedoms, morally obligating all responsible citizens to
preserve, protect and venerate the flag. Neither our founding
fathers, members of Congress nor state legislators ever intended
that anybody should be allowed to desecrate and mutilate the United
States flag; and
Whereas, Protection of the flag of the United States from
desecration can only be assured by the enactment of a
constitutional amendment; therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That the Congress is urged to propose and adopt an amendment to the Constitution of the United States protecting the flag of the
United States from desecration; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward
a copy of this resolution to each member of the United States
Congress.
