A Representative Government?

The Flag Desecration Amendment was rejected by the Senate. It is interesting that 34 Senators voted against the amendment even though their home states have made it clear that they support this amendment.

From the N.Y.Times:

Had the Senate passed the amendment, it would have been likely to win ratification from the required 38 states since, supporters say, all states have endorsed the amendment in some form.

And the Washington Post:

"Fifty state legislatures have called on us to pass this amendment," Hatch told colleagues.

I hope is that the citizens hold their representatives accountable for their actions and replace certain legislators with people who will actually represent them. Look up how your senators voted and if they didn't vote for you, don't for vote for them.
