Rep. Cole Supports Legislation Allowing Americans to Fly American Flag on Private Property

In preparation for the celebration of America's independence on the 4th of July, Representative Tom Cole supported the Freedom to Display the American Flag Act (H.R. 42) that passed by a voice vote today in the House. This legislation would ensure the right of an individual to display the flag of the United States on residential property.

"I was alarmed to learn that some homeowners associations and condos prevent Americans from flying the American flag at their home. This legislation gives back this freedom so that every American can make the independent choice to honor our country by displaying the American flag in front of their homes," Rep. Cole said.
