Proposal would ban sale of imported flags

I could easily get behind something like this on a national level.

Proposal would ban sale of imported flags | DesMoinesRegister.com | The Des Moines Register

Businesses could be fined as much as $625 for selling U.S. or Iowa flags made in other countries under legislation an eastern Iowa lawmaker plans to propose.

"I personally don't want my coffin draped in a Chinese-made flag when I pass away," said Rep. Ray Zirkelbach, a Monticello Democrat and Iraq war veteran who will introduce the bill later this week.

A draft copy of the proposal provided to The Des Moines Register shows that business owners or operators would face simple misdemeanor charges for violations. In addition to fines, people could face as much as 30 days in jail for selling a foreign-made flag.
