Burn a Flag a Day
It's amazing that while I'm sitting here trying to (in some sense) defend the Democratic party as the lesser of two evils, that one of its leaders is still spending a good deal of her time on a flag burning amendment. Luckily you can email Feinstein from the bottom of her statment. I can't believe she's spending so much time on this crap when there are so many important things that need to be done. It's infuriating.
My favorite part? Her "arugument" that prohibiting flag-burning won't start us (further) on the slippery slope of eroding civil rights and free speech:
I would like to assure those with reservations about amending the Constitution that the path we are taking is no slippery slope.
There will be no stampede of Constitutional Amendments that could erode our freedom of speech. There will be no litany of restrictions.
Well, you can't argue with that! Such reassurance! I feel Oh. So. Comforted. Right up there on the comfort level of relaxing once Bush Jr. told us "Mission Accomplished".
Update:
Given LML's comment, here's Feinstein's phone number:
Phone: (202) 224-3841
Fax: (202) 228-3954
And what the hell, Barbara Boxer's too:
(202) 224-3553
