Honolulu, HI
The DAR (Daughters of The American Revolution) today staged a protest in front of the Hawaii Statehouse to protest the inclusion of the British Union Jack on the Hawaii State Flag. Their spokesperson was quoted as saying,
"This symbol is most loathsome to us. Our forefathers fought and died so that the Union Jack flag would no longer fly in our faces. It represents all the tyrannical things that King George III did to us - taxes, harboring soldiers in our homes, taking away our arms, and installing Tory governors. To us it's an intolerable insult. We are demanding a re-design of that hated symbol of British oppression in our colonies, and replace it with something more patriotic - perhaps maybe a musket."
