On a cold clear night last April in Erie, Pennsylvania, an evening when the stars shined brightly and you could see your breath, Jeffrey Allan McQueen of Rochester, Michigan strolled through the throng of Americans gathered for a tea party at the town center gazebo. Over his shoulder he carried a bundle of colorful patriotic banners he called the Second Revolution flags. McQueen had been following the Tea Party Express on its national tour. We kept running into each other at the various events, and on that night I invited him to join me on a park bench to tell my radio show listeners the story of how he came to be selling stylized revolutionary flags. He rejoins us tonight to talk about Flag Day. *** Also, a chat with KrisAnne Hall, fired from her job as assistant state attorney for speaking at Tea Parties.
