RESOLUTION NO. 8890
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, URGING
CONGRESS TO ENACT LEGISLATION PROTECTING
OUR FLAG.
WHEREAS, encapsulating all the love we have for our
country, and everything it stands for; serving as a critical part
of the cement that creates a unity of diversity, our flag
symbolizes who and what we are, and, as such, it silently calls
upon us all to hold a special reverence for it, to cherish it as
the embodiment of our total worth. To do otherwise is to
denigrate these United States; and
WHEREAS, regardless of what we consider human life to
be, either as a natural development or as a product of divine
creation, as long as we see ourselves as a species unique into
itself, we have, in all social groupings established rules by
which we live. These rules prescribe and proscribe behavior;
however, above all these are special, spiritual and emotional
norms which, by and large, are taken as matters of Faith: Faith
in one's self. Faith in each other, and Faith in one's nation.
To permit these these norms to be eroded away, shall
surely result in a solipsistic, disparate agglomeration of beings
existing in a chthonian anarchy.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Azusa, to join the many who feel outrage at the
spectacle of OUR FLAG being despoiled and sullied by those
elements in our society who apparently are bent on destroying
what we have diligently toiled and even died to build, and urge
our national leaders to enact the appropriate legislation to
protect our beloved national ensign.
