Everyone Turn your FLAG upside down
7/5/2016 | Judi Porter

I just turned my Outside US FLAG upside down.

The upside down U.S. flag is an official signal of distress. It is not meant to be, and is not officially recognized as any type of disrespect when so displayed for the right reasons. To the contrary, here is the relevant part of the US Code of Laws regarding how to fly the flag when in distress: THE FLAG CODE

If millions of Americans do this, this will be a sign our country is dying and WE MUST ELECT TRUMP in November.

DO some homework. Google Comey / Clinton. You’ll see they’ve been intertwined since Whitewater. Comey is a ‘mole’. Been owned by the Clinton’s for a long time.

Think I will switch over to waving a Banana Republic flag,
Because that is what this country has become.

I've been flying that flag since the night of November 6, 2012.

It’s a great idea. Seeing as dems likely don’t fly a lot of flags, upside down flags on display over a long period of time will send messages. It will keep the corruption in the forefront of minds.

I was going to fly my Old Glory upside down up here when Obama was elected, but most Canadians wouldn’t know what it meant and would think I was just a dunce.

I say go for it. And seeing as the stupid dems are doing the sit-in thing, maybe a protest of some kind by the republicans....oh. Never mind. They want Clinton.

Interesting that you would refer to the Flag Code, when it does not provide that the flag be flown upside-down for this purpose.

I will when it is time.

The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

It is not yet time.

Fly the ‘An Appeal to heaven’ flag, because that is EXACTLY what it is going to take.

No one has ever called me normal before! ;-)

When the elites usurp the law for themselves
everyone else is either a serf or an outlaw.
I was born a free man, I don’t intend to ever
be anyone’s serf.

Flying the U. S. flag upside down is intended to be a sign of actual physical peril, requesting aid from anyone who sees it. It’s not meant to be a signal of anger, disgruntlement, butthurt, or anything of that nature.

Think of it as a visual 911 call. If you wouldn’t call 911 for something, don’t fly the flag upside-down. That is disrespectful.

I took my flag down. It’s been flying day and night since 9/11/2001, except for during really bad storms. I may put up a different flag, but it won’t get here for a few weeks. It’s a banana republic flag. Hope I won’t be arrested when it arrives.
