Coleman, Dayton = Biatches

Dear Mr. Mommsen:

Thank you for your letter concerning flag burning. I am a proud cosponsor of legislation to create a Constitutional Amendment to ban the burning of the flag. In supporting this Amendment, I am not seeking to compromise or sacrifice the basic and essential freedoms of the FirstAmendment, which the United States Supreme Court has interpreted toinclude the burning or desecration of the American flag. However, in acknowledging and respecting the complete and essential protections of the First Amendment, I seek to place the American flag, the great symbol ofour country, our freedoms, and our great democracy above our individual political protests.

My best regards.

Sincerely,
Mark Dayton
United States Senator
