An Open Letter

To: Rep. Carey, Pres. Trump, Sen. Husted, Sen. Moreno

From: A verified voter in Galloway, OH

February 5

The use of the 9-star American flag icon on federal government websites is concerning due to its resemblance to Confederate flags. While the stated intention may have been to create a simplified version, the design unfortunately evokes divisive symbols from our nation's past. I strongly urge the removal of this icon and its replacement with an inclusive symbol that represents all Americans. The government's web presence should promote unity, not sow confusion or revive painful imagery tied to oppression and injustice. A thorough review and update is warranted to ensure federal sites reflect our democratic ideals and make every citizen feel welcome. Retaining sensitivity to historical context is crucial for building a society of mutual understanding and respect.
