'Don't Tread on Me' License Plates Become a Growing Trend in the U.S.

I wouldn't mind having one but gawd...that sure is BRIGHT!

Fans of the Gadsden Flag may soon be able to display its familiar rattlesnake and "Don't Tread on Me" message every time they pull out of the driveway.

At least three states -- Virginia, Nevada and Texas -- are weighing or have already approved proposals to add "Don't Tread on Me" specialty license plates to their state rosters.

The Gadsden Flag, originally used by the U.S. Marine Corps during the American Revolution, was meant to represent the 13 original colonies and their battle for independence from the British monarchy. It has recently been adopted by some Tea Party groups as a message against big government.
Several supporters of the symbol say they will seek to have Gadsden plates available in other states throughout the country.

But critics say the flag's "Don't Tread on Me" message is political in nature, and has no place on any government-issued license plate.

Pretty cool idea, but with as much as tags cost i think i'll stick with the 2.99 sticker option for now.

Have they ever seen a New Hampshire license plate? I like it, we need more ballsy things on our license plates. I just wish the Tea Party hadn't stolen the Gadsen Flag. New Hampshire is about as close as anyones gotten to my personal favorite.

'Cause f**k you, that's why.​

On that note don't we already have "Pro Life" plates in Oklahoma? How is that not political?

The irony of paying the .gov EXTRA cash for a "Don't Tread on Me" plate is hilarious to me.
