Propose an Amendment

Proposed Amendment: Making it illegal for all people, professional and nonprofessional for it to be ok that they sit, kneel, or stay in the locker room during the National Anthem. Those that fail to obtain to this amendment shall have to pay a fine that will be determined in the court of law.

Why: Because I think it is morally wrong. People who do this think that they are protesting President Trump, they really aren't. I feel as if the people who are doing this aren't clear on what they are doing, almost as like they are confused. It is wrong because people put their lives on the line to fight for our country so we could have freedom and the flag means freedom was reached. Each color represents something that we can have being free citizens of the United States, and the National Anthem is one way to memorialize the United States flag. I feel as if all the people kneeling, sitting, and staying in the locker room are not respecting the United States flag and the National Anthem. The National Anthem is the song that was wrote stating that we are free and the home of the brave. It says in the song that we are free and we the United States are the home of the brave. The brave are those that chose to give up their life so that ours could be better, and some even died for us. I feel if this Amendment were to get passed that a lot of people would be angry because it is violating their first amendment rights. Well, I feel as if the people that think this are wrong, I feel that they aren’t respecting the flag during the National Anthem and that they are doing wrong by not paying attention during the National Anthem and respecting the flag. I think that people who fail to obtain standing and putting your right hand over your heart shall have to pay a fine that will be determined in the court of law. I feel that this should be done because going to jail seems too much for a punishment and not doing anything at all is too little of a punishment.
