Well, here it goes. In Ball, Louisiana, a driver had the bumper sticker "Don't Tread On Me." An officer stopped him and claimed he was being investigated for possible subversive activity--against the US government, of course.
One of the mottoes of our struggle for freedom over 200 years ago is the Gadsden Flag with that coiled rattlesnake above the motto. It has a very interesting history that includes the US Navy and Marine Corps who also displayed it.
As any government becomes more abusive of its citizens, is has reason to distrust and finally fear a grassroots movement by those same citizens. But don't think it will stop with bumper stickers and flags. Caps, T-shirts, and mugs--ANYTHING that can be interpreted as subversive almost certainly will by some authority.
We have the head of the Department Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, to thank for that policy.

Contact your elected representatives (at the link on the right) and express your opinion about such unconstitutional intrusion!
