As for the t-shirt, I have zero issues with the back design, but I'd have to wear the flag right-side up, as that's commensurate with U.S. Law governing the display and use of our flag.
The particular section governing the display of an inverted flag is Section 8(a): "The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."
Even in support of your cause, I see no "dire distress" or "extreme danger to life or property." I think displaying our flag inverted on the front under the circumstances of protesting encroachments on our liberty would simply be disrespectful to our flag.
I hate to say it but the man is right. If you ditched the upside down flag I would be interested. IMO might as well burn a US flag or be like my neighbor and fly a Canadian Flag on July 4th.

On a side note looking through the code of conduct in regards to the US flag it would seem that wearing shirts, ect with the US flag on them is in violation. I wonder if these "rules" have any legal ramification, or are merely a sort of "Gentlemens Agreement."
