[Mpls] City Hall flag

[Leurquin, Ronald]

Amen to that idea.
The longer it stays at half mast the more I want to send money to the Atheists to help their fight against the religious right.
Put the flag back where it belongs.  Minneapolis is not mourning the loss of one of its own.

I think it is inappropriate, even wrong, to lower the flag atop City
Hall to honor a religious leader.  First, in this country there is
still allegedly a separation between church and state.

Second, choosing this particular religious leader looks like a
pandering for votes.  In my memory this honor hasn't been given to the
leader of Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, even Lutheranism.

In this case you have chosen to honor someone who was leading in a
direction that many in this city don't want to go.  He was anti-choice
(send your check to NARAL ProChoice America to fight on that one),
anti-gay (Outfront MN will take your check to fight on that one) and
anti-woman (Emily's list will help the more rational minded there).

Let's stop the charade and put the flag back at the top of the pole
where it belongs.
