I will be calling my representatives and letting them know that I would sooner see the government shutdown than see any of these proposals become law.

Where do you see a ban on pride flags? I read the letter published by the House Freedom Caucus and didn’t see mention of flags.
It doesn’t appear in the letter, but is mentioned in the article. The letter also states that there are “more” policies that need to be defunded.
Not that I don’t believe you, but is there official documentation showing details on the “more policies” mentioned at the end of the letter? I prefer to read policies verbatim.
I can’t say where Erin is pulling the pride flags bit from. Ive found this about Florida wanting to ban pride flags from government buildings and schools.

I would appreciate that link, too. Although the article contains one line that mentions banning Pride flags, I haven’t found anything that indicates Pride flags are being singled out in the congressional tantrum manifesto.
I see no mention of banning pride flags on this ludicrous list of demands, either.
There are some states that want to ban displaying all “unofficial” flags on publicly funded buildings such as schools and embassies; this would theoretically prohibit pride flags, BLM flags, flags supporting or opposing other nations, religious flags, NRA flags, nazi flags, stars and bars, or any flags that symbolize an ideology apart from the flags of federal, state, and local governments.
It doesn’t apply to non-government buildings, so churches, businesses, private residences that aren’t controlled by HOAs, etc, would still be able to display the flags of their choice.
