Dear American Congress:

Thank you so much for putting up such a great fight on the issue of whether or not we should be able to burn the American flag.  I do not agree with the passing of the amendment, seeing as I view this action and those like it as a political freedom that should not be taken away, but it still makes me feel very good about our legislative system that such a great amount of your time was spent on this.  I also thank you for allowing me to see that my priority system has been out of wack....here I thought the more pressing issues were things like high gas prices, that little skirmish going on with the middle east, or even the immigration situation....(you know, things that deal with people, not objects).....but, no, apparently the "protection" of our American flag needs to be dealt with before other solutions are made.  Thank you for once again proving the greatness of the American political system.

Your Friend,
Melissa
