A friend contacted me from back east and after reading about the flag burning suggested that a better method of protest using the flag should be considered, since the flag burning has resulted in many former supporters pulling back from the movment. He suggests the organizers take a look at the 99% Stars and Stripes flag being used in New England and offers to supply a few for your protest marches. See the “Occupy Wall Street Protest Flags 2011” on http://www.loeser.us/flags/protest.html for a picture of the flag. Could somebody on the organization committee contact me for more information?

By the way, the flag I was talking about is posted at http://flags.nava.org/protest.html#occupy as the 99% Stars and Stripes.
Gold fringes don’t necessaryly mean military flags, but are used on any ceremonial flag designed for indoor use, i.e an American flag used in a cityhall meeting room, a city flag used indoors, etc.
If it is the flag that I thought I saw on the posted video, then that flag w/ the gold fringe is a military flag. The question should be what is a military flag doing in a civil gov’t. bldg? I’d be willing to discuss this w/ you if you want.
I too would like to discuss the issue of the purposed fed. Const. amend. The wording is important and we need it to be correct and be what the people want. We have to impress the drafters as to the proper wording since this is a concerted effort & would not want it to come back to haunt us. The main msg. to express in the amend. is that the people are not “person”.
