Please consider CLICKING HERE and signing a petition in support of the following bill. I was alerted to it by VoteVets.org:

We the undersigned, call on Congress to immediately pass Congressman John Boccieri's Blue Star/Gold Star Flag Act of 2009 (H.R. 2546), which would guarantee that Blue Star Families and Gold Star Families can put a service flag in their windows in any residential property, without limitation.

Here is an example of why:

In Ohio recently, a woman who had a son in Iraq was told by her condominium association that she couldn't put a Blue Star service flag in her window, signifying that she had a loved one in harms' way.

Congressman John Boccieri, an Iraq war veteran who VoteVets.org PAC supported in his election, has introduced legislation guaranteeing that Blue Star Families and Gold Star Families (those who lost a loved one) can put a service flag in their windows in any residential property, without limitation. This bill just makes common sense.

We're supporting his Blue Star/Gold Star Flag Act of 2009 (H.R. 2546) and are asking you to take today to join us in our petition to Congress to immediately pass the bill.


Thank you,
