Flag flap
By standing against HB-1050, Display of Flags, Rep. Lundberg perpetuates a ban on flying the POW/MIA Flag and continues the fear and confusion of the flawed current state statute. Lundberg appears in the AP story to imply that HB-1050 would allow any flag to be permanently displayed. This is false picture of the bill on three points: first - that only the US, Colorado and POW/MIA flags are allowed on the flag-poles of state facilities, second - that the educational needs basis of other displays are correctly returned to the discretion of local school boards, and third - that foreign flags are only displayed for “...special, occasional, ceremonial purposed...” according to Federal Law.
Perhaps this is just another of Lundberg’s acts to oppose and criticize anything initiated by a Democrat. Reading the entire bill before speaking on the House Floor would be a good technique. Regardless, he’s wrong and Colorado’s veterans and members of the Armed Services deserve an apology.
HB-1050 is a necessary reform measure that removes awkward and harmful language in the current state law, allows appropriate honors and recognition to veterans and the armed services, and restores control of methods of instruction to local school boards.
With those truths revealed, how can Representative Lundberg explain his opposition?
His Capitol telephone number is 303-866-2907, and his email is Kevin@KevinLundberg.com. Please join me in explaining to Representative Lundberg that he’s out of line on this issue.
