The Star Spangled banner is an awful song about our flag. The melody is awful and it is very awkward to sing.
"America the Beautiful" is a lovely song and is actually about the United States!! Not just the darn flag!! Who's with me!?!? Write your congressperson!!

Yes, it is ugly and violent. Some gu spent his whole life trying to get it changed to that amber waves of grain song and was denied, so good luck. I'd rather change presidents than songs at this point.

that's no longer a foul music. it rather is tougher to drop "God" out of it than it became interior the Francis Scott Key poem the place God isn't pronounced till the final verse that did no longer make it into the music, which makes it no longer likely. The music does purely point out God three times and it performs great in case you purely pass the be conscious, on the grounds that he style of rushes the be conscious to in great condition it into the music. in case you shorten it to easily "Bless america", which will pay ideal homage to our religious historic previous devoid of being explicitly religious. There are different secular and non-religious meanings for a blessing. And it rather is an exceedingly sturdy music. i can't think of of the different contenders that don't additionally point out God and maximum of them are plenty worse songs. u . s . a . of america the captivating has the be conscious "God" in it in techniques that are plenty tougher to edit.

Leave the national anthem alone. If you hate it so much,then don't sing it. No one is forcing you. It's a poem about our flag being a lone symbol of freedom in a time when the British were at war with us in 1812.

Initiate an action or petition to change the national anthem to "America the Beautiful" in Congress. It is the only way . No amount of public clamor or talking in this forum will make the change.

I'm no fan of the US, it's flag, or what it all stands for TODAY, but a country's anthem is its anthem, you can't just change that. When it was written, the US stood for all good in the world, my how things have changed since then!

If you don't like the song that stands for this great country, you also don't like our flag and what IT stands for, so do us loyal Americans a favor and move to South America!

Idiot! You obviously haven't listened to the song's meaning very closely. Maybe you can have Destiny's Child write one that will suit you.

Whatever it is or becomes it is the symbol of war, death and hypocrisy. What does it matter?
