Make it a Federal Crime to burn the American Flag

Make it a Federal Crime to burn the American Flag
Why this petition matters

America was founded on the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Our founding fathers were wise when they wrote these documents, which outline how to maintain and improve on the quality of life and Freedom for all Americans.
Yes, each generation has made mistakes, but by erasing history we are only positioning ourselves to repeat those mistakes. America was founded to improve life and with each generation we have a better understanding of how to do this.
The American Flag is our symbol of freedom and the desire to become the best country on earth. It symbolizes your freedom and mine. The destruction of our flag is destruction of the very foundation of our country and the freedoms this country was built on. It is a direct attack on the fabric of our society and the freedom that allows a person to burn the flag in the first place.
In order to have a strong country we need to stand together in protection of our flag and what it symbolizes. America is and always has been the Epitome of Freedom and those who burn our flag, damage our national monuments, and attack our constitution are enemies of freedom. Yes they have a right to believe what they want, but if they don't support the country they live in they should move to a communist country and see what would become if our freedoms were revoked.
Millions have died to build this country and keep it free. Those that burn the flag dishonor them and should be charged with a felony for desecration of a federal monument.
