Brewer Signs Bill Giving Tea Party-Backed Flag Same Status as U.S. Flag

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law this week a bill that prevents homeowners associations from banning the black-on-yellow Gadsden flags -- the Tea Party-favored banners displaying the coiled rattlesnake and "Don’t Tread on Me" message.
Under the new law, the flag has the same protected status as the American flag, the flags of any military branch, the state flag, the POW-MIA flag and the flag of any Arizona Indian nation. But homeowners associations can still prohibit residents from flying more than two flags at once and restrict a flag pole to the height of the resident's roof.
Any idea why the Tea Party adopted Tea Party as a name and not "Sons of Liberty"?? They were the ones who held the actual Boston Tea Party and Sons of Liberty sounds way better and less effeminate.
