BALDWIN PARK SUPPORTING A CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT RELATIVE TO THE BURNING OF THE
AMERICAN FLAG IN PROTEST TO POLITICAL ISSUES
WHEREAS/ the flag of the United States of America
has been a banner of hope for generation upon generation of
Americans and indeed, people throughout the world, and
WHEREAS/ this flag has served as a symbol of
freedom during both peace and war time throughout the
