This was just proposed by the Senate and failed narrowly by one vote. Feedback is appreciated.

If the choice is Freedom of Speech vs. Censorship by the government, then I will choose Freedom. I am surprised at how many idiots in the government will admit to taking a stance which would harm the US Constitution. Very short sided.

I agree with both of you. It is basically a stance of current sentiment versus the preservation of the US Constitution. Obviously our first admendment is the cornerstone for the US and it angers me that the vote came close to passage. That one time liberals such as Hilary Clinton have migrated to the right on issues such as this for the sake of their political careers is disgraceful. Republican or Democrat pandering to the extreme right inthe name of electorial success is a sad fact. I cannot believe that the GOP is desperate enough to propose this irrational, dangerous issue just to reconnect with their base. Why doesnt Congress do actual work other that debating flag burning or a gay marriage ban which would hurt democracy for all.

We should make it compulsory to burn the flag, everybody's flags. And it should be taught in school....

This entire poll is offensive. I cant believe you are even asking this question!

Burning people alive, for whatever reason, is WRONG, no matter what their sexual orientation is!

And I voted no on making Flag Burning illegal.

well,take it from a guy who see's his flag burns every day on the media.
You can get use to it after a while,and the only thing that surprises me now,is how they allways paint our flags wrong.I say let them burn their flags,but make sure they don't do anything else.
