Russ Feingold says "Don't Spy on Me" (buy a t-shirt)

[Generic Other]

From Russ Feingold:
I'm excited to announce today the opening of our Progressive Patriots Store. Many of you have emailed me over the past months, asking where you can purchase T-Shirts and other items to support the Progressive Patriots Fund community. Today, we're releasing our brand-new "Don't Spy on Me" gear, featuring our modern reinterpretation of the colonial flag "Don't Tread on Me." We're starting out with T-Shirts and mouse pads, but we're looking for you to recommend other items for us to create in the future.

2. That is so fucking cool.

Sorry for cursing like that, those of you who care, but this needed it for content and expression.

I figured some DUers might want to own one of these t-shirts as much as I do.

3. for reference

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_tread_on_me

In the fall of 1775, as the first ships of the Continental Navy readied in the Delaware River, Commodore Esek Hopkins issued, in a set of fleet signals, an instruction directing his vessels to fly a striped Jack and Ensign. In retrospect this has been taken as the first U.S. Navy Jack and has traditionally been shown as consisting of thirteen red and white stripes with a superimposed rattlesnake and the motto "Don't Tread on Me." No representation or example of the ensign survives: patriotic historians have inferred the design from Hopkins' message and a color plate depicting a "Don't Tread Upon Me" ensign in Admiral George Henry Preble's History of the Flag of the United States, 1880.

The rattlesnake had long been a symbol of resistance to the British in Colonial America. The phrase “Don't tread on me” was coined during the American Revolutionary War, a variant perhaps of the snake severed in segments labelled with the names of the colonies and the legend "Join or Die" which had appeared first in Benjamin Franklin's Pennsylvania Gazette in 1754, as a political cartoon reflecting on the Albany Congress.

The rattlesnake - the Timber Rattlesnake - is especially significant and symbolic to the American Revolution. The rattle has thirteen layers, signifying the 13 original colonies. And, the snake does not strike until provoked, a method embodied in the phrase “Don't tread on me”.

8. From the above link there is also a really cool mug. It's called the

Restore Our Freedoms Mugs
Ceramic mug has thermal sensitive ink that allows it to disappear when hot, revealing the Bill of Rights. Union printed, made in the USA. Micro-wave safe (NOT dishwasher safe).

9. Hey, I used to have one of those heat sensitive cups

Mine came from a wrinkle cream company and had a prune-faced, wrinkly thing whose face turned beautiful when you poured hot water in the cup.

I like the heat sensitive constitution! Funny.

Sounds like he wants us to come up with more good ideas. Hmmm...

10. Cool graphic - too bad it's on the BACK of the shirt...

...while their boring-ass logo is on the front. :dunce:

[derby378]

12. Exactly - that's why I'm not buying one

I wear suspenders most of the time. They'll cover up the graphic anyway.

[dogday]

13. Buy the mug

get two :hi:

[eek]

20. good catch

I really like the design but the logo is a no-go.
it somehow reads "planned parenthood" or something.

maybe our comments will reach Russ.
