Thread: Mexican Flags fly over local car dealership

I want to thank everyone who may have called in regards to the flag issue at this car dealership. THE MEXICAN FLAGS HAVE BEEN REMOVED!! I just want to say that, since we have been successful here, we need to move forward....we all need the phone numbers of anyone else (and there have been many mentioned in this thread) who are desecrating our flag in the same manner, and every one of us call them, and continually call them until they get tired of hearing from us!!! I believe it can be done, and I am MORE than willing to shell out some long distance dollars to let these foreigners know just WHO we are. That we are AMERICANS, that we support Arizona, and that they are not welcome unless they are legal. I'm ready to start calling. Any of you who have not been successful trying to get foreign flags removed, please reply to thias post with phone numbers and a description of the situation. And ALL of us need to make ourselves heard!

I had a run-in about a year ago with a guy who let an American flag
hang upside down in front of his business for almost a week after I asked
him to fix it. After emailing the cops, the VFW, the Amercian Legion and
and local radio station without much luck I did the next best thing.

I took pictures of the flag hanging upside down with his businesses sign
behind it and posted them in every appropriate forum I could find
(including this one) saying he was un-American by refusing to fix the flag.
I even made a website with updates on the situation.

After a couple of days I did a google search followed by a yahoo search
for the name of his company and up popped all of those "Anti-American"
posts. I took screen shots of them and emailed them to him with the
words "have a nice day"....

I got an immediate response. Long story short he took the flag completely
down and threatened to sue me. To this day he still doesn't have a flag up
in front of his business.

Hanging the flag up side means "distress". I did in during the terrible Bush years as a protest... which of course is protected free speech/

Like I told the guy at the car dealership you have the right to display your
flag however you like and no matter how much it insults me there's not
much I can do about it without breaking the law. But I have every right to
bring the public's attention to it.

If you're not prepared to be ashamed then don't do it.

Has anyone seen flags of nations other than Mexico flying over businesses? Taiwan, India, Ireland, etc. etc? I have never seen it myself. So ask yourself why it is that the Mexican flag is being displayed so openly? I hope the answer is evident!

Here is is not common to see any flag other than the Mexican. Sometimes Mexican used car dealerships will put up every latin american flag they can find just to make it appear they aren't just interested in serving Mexicans.

Hmmm........and we're not in "distress" under Obama?

There used to be a car dealership near where I used to live (south of
Houston) that had flags from every central and south American country
around the perimiter of their lot BUT NOT the American flag. It used to
tick me off every time we went by it.

They're out of business now. Maybe they went broke pandering to illegals.
