Can A Button Change The World?
I am not sure the answer to the question “Can a button change the world?” but I do know that one person can make the world a better place. I have met a lot of amazing people this year through my involvement with the campaign. One of these individuals is Majid Al-Bahadli. He is an Iraqi-American and a fellow button maker. He is also an Obama National Delegate from Washington State and not surprisingly he got a decent amount of press at Denver being the first Iraqi-American delegate. The following LA Weekly article was reprinted by the Huffington Post: “The Delegate From Sadr City”. It is very much worth your time to read it.
Majid’s favorite and most popular button design above says Obama’s name in Hebrew, Arabic and English. The button has made a very strong impression on people across the country and the world. I am very grateful for Majid for allowing us to include it on our templates page. Thank you Majid.

I’ve actually had the Obama button that he made that was just Arabic and English… but now I’d like to get the Hebrew/Arabic/English version! Very very proud of my fellow Arab-American… and yes… a button can make a difference! I’ve traveled all over the world with another button that I got from him that said “Arab Americans for Obama” and I have had many people ask me about the button and where they can get one.

I got my button maker and started making my own Korean American buttons, and other in language buttons, buttons for High School kids working on the campaign etc…although Chum can’t vote, it does boost morale amongst people calling the swing areas of Washington or door knocking in Mountlake Terrace.
I also made about 300 Virginia is for Obama buttons and gave it away to the Virginia delegation and sent them to Virgina so if Virginia wins I’m going to take credit.
