I got my Obama t-shirt and it has the Union label.

Is that cool or what? :patriot:

1. K & R!

2. Totally

I think all of the official campaign merchandise is union-made. I was disappointed because I ordered a shirt on Ebay at one point when the campaign store was out of just about everything back in February. I thought was from the official campaign store, but it said made in Honduras and lacked the union bug, so I guess not.

3. did you get it from their official store? I must have one!

4. YUP, it's about time......K&R

I don't know when it stopped being cool to support unions and to buy American products.

Maybe we all just became giddy at the low prices of everything.

Maybe there was a covert campaign to paint "buy American" types as "protectionist" or "right wing paranoids".

I've been witness to steel plants and textile plants being shut down and the flood of chinese imports into our markets.

It seems to have started in the late 80's and accelerated through the nineties right through to the present.

Now it's time to rein in the globalists, address the trade deficit, and to support unions and American workers with our pocketbooks and with our votes.


Is that a breath of fresh air? No, that's Barack Obama and a new enlightened America!

5. Why are you surprised?

I would expect the same of any official materials being sold as part of a Democratic candidate's election campaign.

6. I just checked the Official Obama store

And it says all t-shirts are union printed/ made in the USA. I think that's really great! It isn't easy finding Union labeled shirts these days. I hope there will be more when Obama is President.

7. I can't wait to get my shirt.

I had my husband donate to get a shirt for my daughter. She'll be going to college so I think it will come in handy.

8. I got my Obama hat and it has the Union label.

Is cool.

[Hissyspit]

10. Website says my Obama lapel pins have been shipped now.

Woo hoo!

[blondeatlast]

9. I wonder if official McCain chum is even made in the USA? nt

[DCofVA]

12. I just checked McCain's Official site

They claim the shirts are made in America but, no mention of the Union Label. They are probably made in sweat-shops by the undeclared, underpaid, and over worked.

11. They all have the union label.

All candidates' merchandise is made in the USA.

:patriot:

[senseandsensibility]

16. American made and union made

are not the same thing.

[Beacool]

18. True,

but the candidates know better than not to have their merchandise be union made. Hillary's items are all union made, I'm not sure about McCain's.

[AlCzervik]

13. my daughter has 2 different Obama shirts and they are really good quality, like

the stuff we used to ba able to buy that was made by americans.

[LTR]

14. Smart. Very smart

This could have been a very easy thing to get wrong, but to the Obama campaign's credit, they made sure of where their swag was made. This is attention to detail, folks.

[senseandsensibility]

15. That is very cool

17. Remember these old commercials? "Look for...the union label...."

Always, always support our unions. :patriot:

21. I remember that song!

Every time I look at my new Obama shirt, I think of it. I've had it stuck in my head all day :).

19. Very good decision on the campaigns part.

[zulchzulu]

20. I only hand out Union-made bumperstickers

I've had quite a few people look at the Union bug on the corner...
