Dolphins for Peace

Dolphins yes, but more. One dollar from every sale is donated to a progressive organization, and another dollar is added to a Kiva fund to provide microloans to people in impoverished communities seeking to establish small enterprises to improve their lives.

Political Button Predicted Parker Griffith’s Party Switch

Today, Representative Griffith announced that he’s switching political party constituencies from Democrat to Republican. Don’t expect to see a change in Griffith’s voting record, though. Griffith was already voting like he was a Republican.

Barack Obama and John Edwards Run for White House Together?

John Edwards fits with Barack Obama, politically and biographically. Both come from modest economic backgrounds, and understand political issues from the perspective of working Americans. Both have rejected negative campaigning and lobbyist influence as well, and that will be a strong point in opposition to John McCain, who has filled his Senate office and his campaign staff with corporate lobbyists. Edwards and Obama also both represent an idealistic vision of a better American future, not a desperate clinging to the past.

Barack Obama Lapel Stickers

The lapel sticker looks like a shorter form, a kind of political ping, a way of saying “Here I am, and here’s what I stand for.” I see more imagery and simple wording, declarations of support or opposition. A page of lapel stickers for Barack Obama provides an example with its very first sticker – the simple image of the face of Barack Obama, without any words. This sticker tells me that the face of Barack Obama has become an icon, representative of meaning in itself, a powerful cultural symbol that is regarded as needing no explanation.

Barack Obama Surging. Help Him With This Lawn Sign.

Barack Obama opposed invading Iraq from the start. He’s not had to offer any apologies on this issue. He got it right from the start. Obama never caved in to the pro-war pressure from the Republicans. If that matters to you, then consider putting this Barack Obama campaign lawn sign out in your yard, to encourage people in your state to vote Obama for the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 2008.

Presidential Primary Campaign Lawn Signs Go Up for John Edwards

Nationwide, online measures such as search engine statistics show a lackluster interest in the 2008 presidential campaign. On a national level, many people seem not to care much who the next President is, so long as it isn’t a Republican. Let’s cross our fingers and hope that personal displays of political interest, through objects like this lawn sign, encourages greater citizen participation at the state level.

A Very Woody Hug And Kiss for Tree Lovers

Trees are phallic, penetrating the sky and earth alike. Right wingers are out of touch with this natural symbolism of sexuality. They’re so much into dirty, stinking oil wells that I don’t think that they really have much fun in the bedroom. They mock environmentalists as “tree huggers”, and don’t realize that this very phrase reveals how much they’re missing the boat.

Dennis Kucinich For President Button – Looking To The Left

I was surprised, pleasantly, when I saw the news item from the Kucinich for President campaign entitled, “If you love Joe Biden, you’ll love Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Richardson, and Dodd – but not Kucinich”

Is this Pacifist T-shirt the Best T-Shirt Ever?

I’m not in a position to judge what the best tshirt ever is, but this one would be among my nominations, to be sure. It features a handsome young boy, giving us the peace sign with his right hand, and a slogan written as a definition, “Pacifist: Someone with the nutty idea that killing people is a bad thing.”

Arizona for Obama Button Shows A Rising Sun

The button links the Barack Obama for President campaign to the old story about America’s first President, George Washington. The story goes that, at a critical historical moment in the origin of the United States, Washington was looking at a chair that had, carved into it, the sun on the horizon. He looked at that sun, and asked whether he thought it was rising or setting, a meditation upon the fortunes of the United States itself.
