It is the will of the American people that we have a right to protect our flag and this can only be accomplished by passing a Constitutional amendment.

A corollary is that, when laws are out of touch with the people, those laws can and should be changed - from the most simple local regulations to the highest law of the land, our federal Constitution.

The American flag represents all of us and all the values we hold sacred.

Without amendments we would never even have had the Bill of Rights.

Our nation is built on the bedrock principle that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.
