The Patriot Medallion


As we watch the Constitution being shredded by the President and the Senate, as the timid Republican members of the House capitulate at every opportunity, it is time for all of us that believe in the ideals of our founding fathers to stand together in defiance of the ruling class. 
As a statement of my resolve I have created this sterling silver replica of an ancient coin that never existed.  Weighing over half an once and measuring 1 1/4 inches in diameter, my Patriot Medallion features the Liberty Tree, the 2nd Amendment, and the classic Molon Labe statement of the ancient Spartans.  To purchase one for yourself, jump over to my

The Liberty Tree
On 14 August 1765, a crowd gathered in Boston under a large elm tree at the corner of Essex & Washington Streets, originally called Orange Street, to protest the hated Stamp Act.  It was the first public show of defiance against the Crown and spawned the resistance that led to the American Revolution ten years later.

The 2nd Amendment
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Molon Labe
(Come and Take) is a classical expression of defiance spoken by King Leonidas 1 in response to the Persian Army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae.
