Tea party-backed flag won’t fly at Connecticut Capitol - BostonHerald.com

So I guess a symbolic overthrow of a state government is the way the "democratic process" works for "real patriots". Honestly I did not know that you could just ask to put a flag atop a state captial. I will have to try that with a pirate flag sometime.


HARTFORD, Conn. - Police at Connecticut’s state Capitol have decided not to allow a flag adopted by tea party activists to be flown over the building.

Acting state Capitol police Chief Walter Lee says the planned Friday flag-raising ceremony had turned into a political event to promote candidates for elected office.

Tea Party activists had asked for permission to fly the Gadsden Flag atop the Capitol. Dating back to before the Revolutionary War, the flag is well known for its serpent and its warning of "Don’t Tread on Me."
