A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF EAST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT
SUPPORTING A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
PROHIBITING DESECRATION OF THE FLAG
The BOARD OF DIRECTORS of the East Valley Water District
finds as follows:
WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court has ruled in the
case of Texas v. Johnson that the burning of the Flag is
protected by the First Amendment of the United States
Constitution, and
WHEREAS, it is well recognized that such activity is repre-
hensible and an affront to patriotic Americans and a denigration
of those who have sacrificed their lives, fortune and sacred
honor in response to what the Flag of this Country represents,
and
WHEREAS, it is important to protect the institutions and
symbols which are well recognized to represent the liberty and
freedom available in the United States of America.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors
of the East Valley Water District, hereby requests that the
elected representatives of the Congress of the United States
adopt legislation or a Constitutional Amendment which will
prevent the desecration of the Flag or other such symbols of the
United States of America; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Resolution be communicated
to the members of the California Congressional Delegation.
The foregoing Resolution was duly adopted on August 14,
1989.
