"Last Saturday, Ron Paul finished the Iowa Straw Poll with the fourth highest vote total in the Poll's history.  

His second-place ranking came only 152 votes behind the winner, and was triple the amount of votes he received in 2007.

His vote total blew the doors off the establishment candidates the media anointed as front-runners.

The truth is, the near-total media blackout Dr. Paul received after his incredible Iowa Straw Poll showing has angered not only folks like you and me, but it's incensed GOP Primary voters who don't like being told who to vote for by liberal reporters.

Ron's birthday is coming up on August 20th, and there isn't a better follow-up to his amazing finish in Ames than receiving a strong message from his supporters."

"Beginning in 2009, the Gadsden flag has become a favorite among the Tea Party movement nationwide, serving as an alternative to the stars and stripes for Tea Party protesters who feel patriotism for their country and are upset at the government. It was also seen being displayed by members of Congress at Tea Party rallies. Some lawmakers have dubbed it a political symbol due to the Tea Party connection, and the political nature of Tea Party supporters.  

The Second Revolution flag gained national attention on January 19, 2010. It is a version of the Betsy Ross American flag, with a Roman Numeral II in the center of the circle of 13 stars, symbolizing the second Revolution in America. The Second Revolution flag has been called synonymous with Tea Party causes and events."
