License Plates for Freedom Loving Domestic Terrorists in Virgina?: Don't Tread on Me

The Gadsden Flag has been labeled a symbol of domestic terrorists by states like Missouri and the Department of Homeland Security. Police have harassed people with Don't Tread on Me bumper stickers. So this next story offers an interesting perspective.

First before we get into it, I want to remind you whose license plate was ahead of ahead of its time as I wanted to remove the silly blue bird on my Missouri license plates.

The state of Virginia has followed my lead. There is a group of citizens in Virginia are collecting signatures to create an official Tea Party, Gadsden Flag, Don't Tread on me license plate. Let's take a look first:

Beautiful, isn't it. It almost makes you want to move to the beautiful state of Jefferson. I love the mountains there.

From the Blaze:

“The citizens of Virginia will soon be able to express their support for smaller government and protest the Federal Government’s intrusion into the affairs of private citizens,” the Richmond, VA 9/12 project website says. “How? With license plates that make a statement!”


The group has introduced state legislation that would make Gadsen-themed license plates an official option for residents.




The group collected the 475 signatures necessary to get the plates and the appropriate legislation considered, which the legislature will do in January.


But the group‘s work isn’t over. If the bill makes it past the legislature and is signed into law, the Department of Motor Vehicles needs 350 applications to establish the specialized identifiers. The plates will cost only $10, and the group is encouraging VA residents to fill out an application form.


Similar proposals are in place in Texas.


“The TIME IS NOW,” the Richmond group writes, “Don’t wait or it may be too late!”
