We need a new flagWe need a new flagAt a distance, theseState Flagsare virtually impossible#xto distinguish from one another. Vermont is one of these states, as are New Hampshire, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, to name a few. It is because of this lack differentiation that the North American Vexillological Association (vexillology is the study of flags) considers this flag design to be "bad."As a proud Vermonter and a budding vexillologist, it is my concern that our state, with its independent nature, is somewhat lost among the many in regard to its representative flag. It is my sincere hope that this will soon change. I have made contact with a few offices in Montpelier,Compact fluorescent lamp, and a few prominent vexillologists in the hopes of starting a grass-roots movement to change Vermont’s flag design.I can say that I have been greeted with a large amount of support thus far, but was advised that popular support will be paramount to getting this proposal off the ground. With that in mind, I have created a Web site (vt-vexillology.webs.com), where Vermonters can go to learn about what I am doing, how to get involved, and to see my potentialState Flagsdesigns for the new state flag.As early as this week, our elected officials in Washington will take a health care vote that would devastate small business. Not only does the plan spend $900 billion that we don’t have, but it’s paid for on the backs of small business. This is not the reform. small business asked for -- we need reform. that lowers our health care costs, and the bill Congress is trying to jam through simply does not do that.Instead, they are forcing a bill with a new $7 billion annual tax on small business health insurance plans -- not big business or unions (they were exempted). They single out the already struggling construction industry by forcing a new health care mandate on firms with more than five employees and $250K payroll. And they are now working to force small businesses to pay for insurance for all part-time employees as well.Vermont prides itself not for being "one of the crowd,#x" but for being innovative. I am confident that changing ourState Flagsto represent our distinctiveness would serve us well.相关的主题文章：
