my husband and sons will not allow it, but is it appropriate?

momladyy1,

The only time it is appropriate to fly the flag upside down is when you are in extreme distress. An upside-down flag is a sign that you need immediate help! Although immigration is a great issue for protest, it is not a life or death situation, so I'd like to suggest other spending the 4th doing other forms of protest, such as writing letters to your state representatives.
