AWESOME reactions to my "Anybody But Bush" pins
About two weeks ago, I began wearing my large "Anybody But Bush" pins that I purchased on the internet. I live in a fairly conservative, mostly Republican small city.

The reaction to the buttons has been overwhelming. People keep coming up to me and saying "I Love Your Button". I have had at least 20 people ask me where they could buy one. Afterward they go on a rampage about the man. I am especially happy with the reaction of older people - they are REALLY REALLY PISSED about Bush. Two checkout women asked for them, many neighbors (I gave one to my neighbor and she said her father wanted it so badly she gave it to him). My daughter (18) is getting fantastic reaction at her high school with hers. My dog groomer yesterday begged me to order one for her.

It is really a conversation starter. They are available on lots of websites - just go to Froogle.com and type in Anybody But Bush" or
"Anti-Bush Pins". I've just ordered ten more to give away.

We'll soon have a candidate but I'll still wear that pin - really shows how I feel.

2. That's wonderful
I think there are millions of people out there so fed up with Bush (not just Dems, either). Your button is an invitation to them to vent, and makes them feel good that someone who shares the same feelings is willing to wear those opinions in public. Good for you and for them!

3. Very Encouraging!
I have a "US Troops Out of the Middle East" bumper sticker on my car. I have had nothing but positive reactions for three or four months now.

12. Envelope stickers would be great!
I just sent off 3 things in the mail last night, and that would have been great to have those.

Never even thought of it.

Great idea!

15. Excellent idea!
I'm going to design a sticker and print them off on mailing label stock. Saturate the post office with the suckers!

6. Wonder what I could get away with in a public school
as a teacher that is.

One of the math teachers has a framed photograph of the jackass on his wall. Guess I could have the anti-Bush or ABB?

10. I too had one . . .
I used the gif image from DU on a button press. In one day, I got incrdible amounts of comments, all favorable.

Alas, I hung my jacket up at a restaurant, and my pin was "liberated."

Oh well.:-(

11. I want ABB buttons to sell/give away in a local store
I also love "11-4-04 the end of an error" If anyone seems them at a decent price let me know, I'd buy a bunch.
