The Revolution has Started

You never know who you might run into. This 4th of July we met some interesting people.

Are you tired of an oppressive government taking half you wages in taxes? Of telling you how to raise you children? Of telling you what your morals should be when they have no morals themselves? Of blaming guns for crime instead of people? Of letting offenders out of jail and spending more time procecuting the inocent? Of allowing the killing our children but not executing murders?

Are you a radical? Are you a freedom fighter?

Then I say join General Seth Pomeroy in the Revolution for your freedom!

Perhaps you would like to join the Colepepper Minute Men with Paterick Henry.

In December of 1775, an anonymous Philadelphia correspondent wrote to Bradford's Pennsylvania journal concerning the symbolic use of the snake. He began the letter by saying:
I recollected that her eye excelled in brightness that of any other animal, and that she has no eye-lids. She may, therefore, be esteemed an emblem of vigilance. She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders. She is, therefore, an emblem of magnanimity and true courage.
It was probably the deadly bite of the rattler, however, which was foremost in the minds of its designers, and the threatening slogan "Don't Tread on Me" added further significance to the design.
