they will soon have something in common with gay rights activists, Puerto Ricans, Jews, Brazilians and people of Italian descent.
Each of those groups has had the honor of having their flag fly over the state Capitol and on Friday, the Tea Party movement joins the ranks.
The Gadsden Flag — it’s bright yellow with a coiled snake and the words “Don’t Tread On Me” — will be hoisted from a Capitol flag poll at 9 a.m. According to a press release issued by Connecticut Tea Party Patriots, it will stay there until April 15. (Hmmmm…coincidence?)
The Tea Party Patriots will host a flag-raising ceremony on the south lawn of the Capitol, followed by a press conference, when several tea party activists will announce their intention to seek elective office.
