The Issue

Our beloved state of Minnesota has seen a troubling and disheartening change that undermines our heritage and identity. Our iconic Original 1893 flag, an emblem that celebrated the spirit of Minnesota — from its hardworking farmers and valiant fighters to its Native American roots — has been unjustly replaced without our consent by a flag that does not represent us. The new flag, which is said to represent Somali influences, neither reflects our history nor does it resonate with the true spirit of the Minnesotan people.

This change, unapproved and unfounded, symbolizes a larger issue of fraud and misrepresentation, evidenced by the startling $20 billion in alleged fraud that the current administration has reportedly mismanaged. We, the true residents of Minnesota, feel that this is a reflection of an administration that has disregarded its accountability and allowed unchecked influences to infiltrate our cultural identity.

The people of Minnesota deserve a flag that truly epitomizes our values, integrity, and shared history. Changing our flag without a proper vote or representation is not only undemocratic but it also strips away our rightful identity. This is not just about colors and symbols; it is about the pride and the heritage that comes with our Original 1893 flag.

We call upon our county and state representatives to take immediate action. Reinstate the Original 1893 flag that rightfully belongs to the people of Minnesota. It is your responsibility to recognize the voices of the people you represent.

Join us in this important cause. Stand with us in safeguarding the heritage and spirit of Minnesota. Sign this petition to support the reinstatement of Minnesota's Original 1893 flag, and help us take back our rightful identity. The attention to this matter is not just important — it is mandatory.
