Hooray for Asheville veteran and Patriot, Jay Carey, for courageously defying a tyrant’s illegal and unconstitutional presidential order calling for the arrest and imprisonment of anyone who burns a flag. As a message that the citizens will stand up for their constitutional right to free speech, Jay set a U.S. Flag ablaze in front of the White House and was promptly arrested. The U.S. is at a crossroads and must choose democracy or submission to a tyrant. In 1938, Germany stood at the same crossroads but chose submission. You, our congressional representatives, must find the courage to support the citizens and stand up and speak out against the repressive presidential order, or we will suffer the same fate as Germany.
