Symbols of hate and division have no place in our government.  It's time to stand up for what's right and take down the Confederate flag! 

Symbols of hate have no place in our government. 

The Confederate flag is not a symbol of southern pride but rather a symbol of rebellion and racism.  On the heels of the brutal killing of nine Black people in a South Carolina church by a racist terrorist, it's time to put that symbol of rebellion and racism behind us and move toward healing and a better United States of America!
