I’ve never understood how we ceded the American flag to a guy that is doing everything in his power to systematically destroy what makes America great.

I fly the pride flag all through June in support of LGBT. Then I switch to the American flag for the week of the 4th. That way nobody misunderstands what the American flag means to me.

I couldn’t agree more. The American flag stands for everything Trump despises, so let’s own it with pride.

There were plenty of American flags at the No Kings march in New York City. We should continue to wave it with pride and determination!

I would like to offer a song to go with that. The following is a piece I just finished, an animated appreciation of the great Woody Guthrie song,’This is Your Land’. Keep up the good work and if you like this and find it timely please repost and share.

The America I want, the American experience of our multi-national, multi-ethnic forebearers, is am America of inclusion: “Sent us your tired, etc.!” Inclusion has its price: honest, legal representation of who and what you are!

Democracy is not isolation, nor is it comfortableness. Differences are hard, but they usefully stretch us. We ought to be about being the best we are capable of. That means challenging ourselves to an open competition with others, not about government protections and self-aggrandizements!

I'm so glad someone young still can appreciate what the American flag stands for, and it does not mean you agree with the present gov't!

Good for you to see what MAGA was about so early on!!!

I really want to help create the new Democratic outlook of this nation and I want to be a part of building it back better than ever!

How can I become a participant in the Renew Democracy Inituative?

It is the flag of “We the People” and we should allow each administration to borrow it when they fully represent us and our democracy.
