California Looks to Ban Confederate Flag
Johnny Kampis, Fox News, August 27, 2014

The lone dissenting vote among the 67 cast was from former California GOP gubernatorial candidate Tim Donnelly of Twin Peaks. He argued the bill would infringe on free speech.
“I’m a strict Constitutionalist,” he told the Times. “It’s painful and lonely.”
