Connecticut Yankee Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hi Sass members This is something i wish i did not have to send out but it has me boiling, i am a veteran and it has just come out that ABC has banned the wearing of the American Flag pins on there employees lapels as they say they do not want to take any sides and appear biast, well i for one am not happy with that, they enjoy the freedom that the us of a has given them but they are not proud enough to wear the american flag on tv or whateve. If you feel the same way i do PLEASE send a letter to ABC or an email and voice your dsipleasure. Every little bit helps they are stopping all of our freedoms and it is discusting. Thanks Connecticut Yankee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Connecticut Yankee Hmmmm.... Are they thinking about international appeal for an international company? Because in the U.S., I'd think that wearing a pin such as that would come under the First Amendment under freedom of speech. It reminds me of Patrick Henry. Partly because I've been to Colonial Williamsburg. Which was where I learned to love the fife. Which is why I bought a b-flat fife and learned to play it. Which are good associations to the whole thing...........which has nothing to do directly with the Bill of Rights, but it feels good. But still............. I'm sorry to hear they're doing that.

Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 To me the big question is should the term "News" be applied to the evening show that the "major" networks put on the air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
