I went to look, not a single labor or unions 4 Obama button on his site

[Omaha Steve]

I was ready to jump on his band wagon. But there is not a single sign of him being friendly to labor on the stuff he sells.

1. Duh!

[Debi]

2. That sucks.

I know his stuff here in Iowa all had a bug on em - buttons, stickers, bumper stickers, Letterhead, caucus cards. :shrug:

It the stuff from his site or is it just a link to another site for stuff?

[ISUGRADIA]

4. I've checked and Clinton and Obama's buttons are union made

the OP can't find any slogan buttons to his liking

[Debi]

6. Oh, okay

I thought he meant that Obama wasn't using union shops to make his merchandise. (Which is important to me).

[ISUGRADIA]

9. Me too, I always look for the union bug on items

[Debi]

10. Good to know n/t

[ISUGRADIA]

14. A friend gave me a Bush button in 1988 since he knew I collect

campaign stuff. No union bug (which is generally the case for Republicans) but on the inside back you could see the negative of Spanish writing on it like from the smudging of paper used when it was made. So likely George Senior couldn't even buy American for his campaign items.

16. One of Iowa's Dem legislative candidates was bragging about how much he saved

on campaign buttons buying them on-line. 'Proudly manufactured in Mexico' was along the edges x( He received a quick education (I still have one of the buttons ;))

[ISUGRADIA]

22. Yipes! That's not good at all

I've seen that though on buttons. AARP was giving out "Don't Mess With Social Security Buttons" at the MN state fair that had "Made in Mexico" on the back.

[ISUGRADIA]

3. Maybe his voting record is more important than pieces of metal

I see no union buttons on Clinton's site either. But both her and Obama have strong labor support.

[Debi]

8. Please disregard.

:hi:

[ISUGRADIA]

12. Agree, and a candidate should practice what they preach

i.e use union labor as Obama does in his campaign items. Clinton does too.

I just don't think it's a negative that neither Obama nor Clinton have Union Members for X for sale. I'm sure they will eventually and the unions themslves put out material.

[Debi]

15. No biggie - your response above was a good enough response to my response

:crazy:

[ISUGRADIA]

13. Ooops was typing when you replied

:)

5. Working Class Middle Class support Hilary,

[NightWatcher]

7. from his site

Thank you for visiting the Obama for America online store. All of our products are top quality, union and USA made and produced. All purchases made on the Obama Store are 100% contributions to the campaign and count toward your overall contribution limit.



look closely
and you can see the union label "USWA"

[tammywammy]

25. That's not it

He's look for a button that says "Unions for Obama" or something along those lines.

[Omaha Steve]

11. I've worn an Edwards and unions stand together button for 6 months

I have it in my lap as I type. He had another one I didn't like as much. I'm sure ALL the Democratic candidates used union labor to produce all their buttons, bumper stickers, signs, etc...

[Omaha Steve]

17. Edwards no longer sells his stuff, mine was similar to this

This alone won't get me to the Sen. Clinton camp. I'm an independent leaning Obama for the caucus Saturday.

[Debi]

19. Wear your Edwards gear to the caucus

:hi:

[Omaha Steve]

20. I will caucus independent first wearing my Edwards button

The key is holding 15%. If not, I will realign with Obama. There is plenty od AFSCME and Clinton stuff I could have free. I'll pass for now.

21. Did you read Nightwatcher's post?

Does that answer your question or did you mean something else?

[Debi]

18. That's Steve, I didn't understand your original post

Have you gone to the sites of some of the unions that have endorsed Obama? Maybe they have something?

[scheming daemons]

23. 600,000 SEIU endorsed him this week, after Edwards dropped out...

...

[LittleBlue]

24. I'm a Martian, and no Martian-American buttons on his site!

He hates us. Why Obama why? :evilfrown:

[Omaha Steve]

26. Unions and the millions of $ and volunteers they bring to the table

LittleBlue IF your a dem, your a piss poor one. I do believe in UFOs. Jimmy Carter saw one too.
