HOA treads on the Gadsden

Eric Smith says he's always been fascinated by the Gadsden flag. On a yellow background, the flag features a rattlesnake poised to strike and the statement: "Don't Tread on Me."

"This is actually a flag that has strong Revolutionary War and history to it," Smith said, referring to the flag, which he says he has displayed along with the American flag in front of his home for the past year.

But Smith suspects that somebody didn't like that flag or what it has come to represent to some people.

Last week, he received a letter from the East York Villas Homeowner's Association stating: "Tea Party flags are not permitted. Please Remove." The letter threatened a fine of up to $100 per month if the flag is not removed.   More -
