Tell Fox News – They Don’t Own Patriotism

In response to repeated attacks on the patriotism of progressives by right-wing media outlet Fox News, Campaign for America's Future launched the "Tell Fox News – They Don’t Own Patriotism" campaign. The goal of the campaign was to send a clear message to Fox News team in a format to which they'd be receptive: namely, personalized declarations of patriotism, each attached with a genuine Made-In-the-USA flag pin. The thrust of these personal declarations was that progressives are patriotic Americans too, and that no one holds a monopoly on patriotism.

Before we knew it over 600 progressives had sent us messages to pass along to Fox News, like this one from Patricia in Little Neck, NY:

“Patriotism does NOT belong to one party or ideology and I urge you to cease your incessant attacks. Please accept our 4th of July gift in hopes we can all come together & recognize that we are all true patriots under the same grand flag and constitution that celebrates our unity even among diversity.”

As promised, we delivered these messages and flag pins to the Fox News Channel Washington Bureau on Capitol Hill over the Fourth of July weekend.
