"Time's Up" Flag
Personally endorsed by L. Neil Smith
Below is my personal flag. It has been flying for a couple years now; day and night, through all sorts of weather. It has faded a bit, but is still going strong.
Based on the historic Gadsden "DONT TREAD ON ME" Flag (shown at the bottom of this page), this updated version shows the rattlesnake finally striking, instead of simply rattling. It tells the enemies of liberty that for over 200 years we have watched liberty and freedom being outlawed, ridiculed, restricted, marginalized and destroyed. Tyrants were warned "Don't tread on me" and refused to listen. Time's up! This is the new flag of the resistance.
I came up with this design during the summer of 2006 while I was near Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was looking at my Gadsden flag (which was flying nearby) and thought "that snake has been rattling for over 200 years. It is time he finally struck at those who keep treading on him." I pulled a scrap of paper from my pocket and did the first sketch. I toyed with different captions (such as "Liberty") before settling on "Time's Up". The final design is a direct scan of my second sketch, which was almost as good as the first.
