Preserve the American Flag at Camping World

The Issue

I am moved, both personally and patriotically, by the presence of the American flag at Camping World, a beacon standing tall and proud on our landscape. To me, it stands not merely as the symbol of our great nation, but also as a tribute to the brave individuals who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. The recently instigated lawsuit by the city, seeking the removal of this emblem, strikes me, and many fellow locals, to our core.

Displaying the American flag is not just an act of expression, it is deeply woven into our culture and reflects our shared values. As affirmed by the Supreme Court in the Texas vs. Johnson case of 1989, flag display counts as symbolic speech protected under the First Amendment. This lawsuit undermines our constitutional rights and is an affront to our national pride.

All around the country, there are examples of flags flying high as symbols of pride and unity. For instance, Sheboygan, WI features a beautiful 400 square foot flag that has become a beloved local landmark. Should we not be allowed the same?

Collectively, our voices are crucial in preserving the American flag at Camping World. Let's unite, make our sentiments known, and ensure that this symbol of our patriotism continues to honor those who have given all for this homeland. Sign the petition today to join the outcry against the removal of the American flag at Camping World.
