The American Flag Daily: The Boston Tea Party
The American Flag Daily ^ | December 16, 2013 | FlagBearer

Today marks the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party in 1773, when a group of men from the Sons of Liberty, disguised as indians, threw an entire shipment of tea into Boston Harbor in protest of the Tea Act, a tax levied on the colonies by the British Parliament. The Boston Tea Party was one of several actions which eventually led to the American Revolution and our independence.

In honor of those colonists who had the courage to act, we raise the Sons Of Liberty banner with the American Flag.

Today, we honor those patriots who not only had the courage to dissent, but the courage to act as well.

Yet she won the election 1.7 million to 1.4 million. Apparently the majority of your fellow citizens don't agree with you.

She’s highly offended at their actions. Just ask her.

The communists in the country want Warren for the next president over Hillary. I hope either way you don’t have to get too used to her.
