Title
"Flag Burning and the Iraq War" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin discusses the burning of the American flag as a response to Bush's administration policy on Iraq. AuCoin asserts that while burning the American flag is technically legal due to the principle of freedom of speech, he personally disagrees with the action; arguing that the flag stands for freedom, not the politicians involved in the Iraq war "who officially abuse what it stands for." Indeed, AuCoin encourages waving the American flag to protest the policies of those in the White House. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2003.
