ABC NEWS BANS FLAG LAPEL PINS
This is what we get from the present stuff going on in Washington . What next?
Barbara Walters said that this was going to hurt ABC bad. As
You know she works for ABC .

ABC NEWS BANS FLAG LAPEL PINS!
YESTERDAY THE BRASS AT ABC NEWS ISSUED ORDERS FORBIDDING
REPORTERS TO WEAR LAPEL PIN AMERICAN FLAGS OR OTHER PATRIOTIC INSIGNIA.
THEIR REASONING WAS THAT ABC SHOULD REMAIN NEUTRAL ABOUT 'CAUSES'.

SINCE WHEN IS PATRIOTISM TO BE DISCOURAGED?
I URGE YOU TO BOYCOTT ABC AND ITS SPONSORS AND AFFILIATES.
WE ARE SLOWLY LOSING EVERYTHING OUR COUNTRY STANDS FOR AND
EVERYTHING OUR MEN AND WOMEN FOUGHT AND DIED TO PRESERVE!
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN.

The flag on there pins should be of this flag. I am sure some may not even know about this flag. Yes we Here in the USA have two flags. The one you may think is our only one and the one pictured below. I prefer the lower flag personally. but I doubt I will see it flying at the in my life time.

The Civil Flag, intended for peacetime usage in custom house civilian settings,

By the Law of the Flag, this design denoted civil jurisdiction under the Constitution and common law as opposed to military jurisdiction

to show their civilian nature and not under military control.

encoded in law in 1874
