Today the U.S. House of Representatives voted to allow an amendment to the annual spending bill that will ban the flying of large scale, historically accurate Confederate flags over the graves of our fallen heroes in gray. As a token of our good rulers' kindness, they'll still permit us to place small Confederate flags on individual Confederate graves on two dates a year - Memorial Day & Confederate Memorial Day. The vote passed with 265 in favor and 159 against.
We should all let those members of the House know exactly how we feel. Click the following link to see how each Representative voted. Once you're there, scroll down to see if your Representative has a "Yea" next to his or her name, click their name, get their contact info, and CALL 'EM UP! Be polite and respectful, but be firm in voicing your opposition.
Vote On Agreeing to Amendment 15 to H.R. 4974 (GovTrack.us)
DEO VINDICE!

Seems to me this country has taken the path (at the crossroad) that doesn't represent me, and many of your other followers......not certain what the answer is......seems clear we have become the minority......with hardly any representation. History repeating itself!
