States passing laws to require every Old Glory sold be domestically produced
Posted on July 3rd, 2007 by bile Categories and Tags: Uncategorized, 1st Amendment, China, Independence Day, Minnesota, New Jersey, politics, States, USA, your money, your rightsWhat’s red, white and blue and made in China? A move is on in state legislatures to ensure that the flags folks will be flying and buying this Independence Day were made on this fruited plain.
Minnesota has passed the strongest measure, a new law that goes into effect at year’s end requiring every Old Glory sold in state stores to be domestically produced. Violations are a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $1,000 fine and 90 days in jail.
Ah yes. What’s more American than forcing people to purchase things made domestically. This is almost as sad as the flag burning bans legislators occasionally try to pass. Do these politicians even read our history? Our founding documents? It’s sicking to see this… especially in my home state.
