Republican State Representative Adam Niemerg from Dieterich says the effort to change the Illinois flag is a blatant attempt to infuse far-left ideology onto the state’s flag and he is calling on Illinois citizens to join him in opposing the redesign efforts.
Niemerg says he's concerned about the direction of the flag redesign after Governor JB Pritzker said it may be time to create a new flag that exemplifies the values of Illinois.
Niemerg asks does that mean the new flag will highlight the Governor’s efforts to partner with Chinese-owned companies? Or will the flag become a state-sponsored tribute to the Pride flag?
He is urging what he calls patriotic citizens to take a stand against this clear attempt to rebrand the state according to leftist ideology.
To help fight the proposed flag redesign Niemerg has launched a petition.
