Protest Rally
June 13, 2006 | Lacey A. Kendall

"I am FURIOUS! The City of San Bernardino has voted to NOT DISPLAY AMERICAN FLAGS on national holidays since it might offend somebody. It took two votes--the final one was 4 to 3. Along with others, I am organizing a rally at San Bernardino City Hall for Wednesday beginning at 3pm.

WITH AMERICAN FLAGS.

I am a news reporter for two local agencies in San Bernardino, and a "stringer" for several others. The comments made regarding San Bernardino's city council denying the posting of the American Flag are presented very inacuratly, for what benefit I don't know. The American flag is flown every single day at city hall in San Bernardino. The issue Mr. Chas Kelley brought before his city council was to drape a huge flag that hangs over the entire city hall building and is an enormous project. He also asked that the flag be draped there on a number of future occasions-as part of an ordinance. Currently the rules state that the mayor can have the flag draped by a simple phone call at any time. The city council found that this ordinance was totally unneccessary. Call the city of San Bernardino or any local media organization...the truth on this matter is there. It's simply not available on this blog.

I refuse to set foot anywhere in the state of California because the whole damned state offends me. I won't even drive through there on my way to and from Arizona.

since it might offend somebody

AMERICA: You have the right to pursue happiness. You do NOT have the right NOT to be offended.

WTF is WRONG with these people?

If we can't display our own flag in our own country, it's the beginning of the end if it's not alread here. Outrageous.

Boycott San Berdoo.

Looks like it is time again to dust off those CONGRESS and SENATE Telephone numbers and E-mail Addresses!!

Do you mean THIS Wednesday coming? as in tomorrow? Wish I could be there..kind of late to plan a cross country flight--but my E-Mail to them stating my outrage is already on the way for you!

..."the truth on this matter is there. It's simply not available on this blog."

Whoops, it is available on this blog now - because you posted it. We appreciate the effort, and it certainly adds to information flow. That's what this site is for; if you post it, it can be debated and picked apart for all it's worth. A few tips, though:

When posting, make sure to put your point into the body of the article whenever possible. People see the article, but frequently don't read the first few replies, because they "scroll away". For instance, you will get many replies to the body of your article, but few will realize that you are challenging the statement because it is in the first post rather than in the body!

Thank you so much for "getting the facts out there" on these issues - the information is welcome. Many will check into it, so we thank you. Please feel free to come and post whenever possible!

Thank you for bringing some facts to light on this.

I did not join the hysteria regarding this and believe most FReepers did not.

Welcome to Free Republic! Stick around and keep us informed.

I'm with you. The whole west side from WA to CA does not interest me in the least. The fact of the matter is that the crazies from CA have moved up to and own the west side of OR and WA.

I appreciate your efforts but it is confusing unless one reads your post #1 that denies the accuracy of the assertion.

The original post therefore looks valid and gets everyone, of course , outraged.

A reporter should know these things..

Good grief! Will you look at all the knee jerkers who didn't bother to read the whole post before calling for mass hysterical over-reaction.

It's a matter of reading thoroughly before posting... too much trouble for some.
