Representative from California
To which flag do you pledge allegiance, Congressman?
Amid waning public support of Americans and the Bush administration for the United Nations, one congressman proudly flies the blue and white U.N. flag outside his D.C. office.
While most of his 534 colleagues display banners of their home towns at the entrances to their offices in the Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill, Rep. Sam Farr, D-Calif., moved last month to use that platform to demonstrate his longstanding love of the U.N.

"If the U.N. didn't exist, we'd be inventing it right now," Farr told the San Francisco Chronicle, calling the U.N. "the only way to build up the infrastructure around the globe for the human rights, labor, environmental conditions that are fair and equitable."
According to the Chronicle account, the 61-year-old, six-term Democrat's interest in the U.N. dates back to a boyhood experience in 1955, when his parents took him to events in San Francisco commemorating the 10th anniversary of the U.N. Charter's signing in the city.
Quote
"I fell in love with all the flags flying in San Francisco from all the nations," the Chronicle quotes Farr as saying. "We've got to do everything in our power to make the U.N. the leadership body it was intended to be. ... This president has no respect for the United Nations."
