James Traficant: “residents of Brookshire Condominiums in Washingtonville, New York…”

On the recordMay 4, 1999

residents of Brookshire Condominiums in Washingtonville, New York, have been banned from flying the American flag. Banned, ladies and gentlemen. In fact, they will be charged $25 for every day that they fly the flag beyond the five holidays allowed. Unbelievable. The sad fact is in America today we can burn the flag, but we may not be allowed to fly the flag. Beam me up. Is it any wonder America is so screwed up? I yield back the lives of thousands of heroic Americans who gave their lives in battle while carrying Old Glory into battle.
