HA! Jeb Bush campaign forced to change design resembling SEC logo


Jeb Bush campaign forced to change design resembling SEC logo

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's campaign is having to change the logo of some campaign materials.

Bush's 2016 presidential campaign was trying to capitalize on people in SEC country with SEC-related materials and events. The campaign even went so far as to put "JEB" in a circle very similar to the SEC's logo. The SEC isn't too thrilled about it.



From USA Today:

The SEC has negotiated with officials from Jeb Bush's campaign to modify a logo that closely resembles the conference's and make other changes in how the campaign aligns itself with the conference.


“The Southeastern Conference does not endorse candidates for any political office,” SEC spokesman Herb Vincent said Wednesday in a statement to USA TODAY Sports. “The SEC has spoken to the Bush campaign to ensure that their activities are within the bounds of our trademark requirements.”

and stopped them from voting in 2000?

Do you believe in Democracy, you rightys?

Really?

So in Alabama where they demand a drivers license to vote, then close the offices that provide them, is that Democracy?

Dear god, why are we not talking about this the way we need to.

IF what they are doing was being done in Canada, we would probably send in troops to stop it.

They do, do (yes they are full of shite but back to the point), a few original things. Sadly none of them benefit anyone other then billionaires. They are always coming up with new ways to get out of paying taxes, doing work and scamming everyone else to make more money for themselves and more misery for the other 99% of the world. Other then that they generally just live off of the trust funds set up when they were born. No difference from Jeb and the Donald, ok the Donald bought a full head of hair, but other then that ... There is no difference.
