Our fellow Seattle button makers Christy Cusick and Orion Anderson are featured in a video segment at MTV’s Think! Think is MTV’s Web 2.0 site that focuses on social issues and politics and somehow ties into their ongoing Choose Or Loose campaign. If you haven’t checked out Christy’s fund raising button sales on BarackObama.com do so now!

The New York Times has an interesting article about collecting political paraphernalia and makes mention of someone paying $150 for an Obama button! Wow. Joann and I aren’t really into collecting political items although we are starting to amass a decent amount of Obama buttons. A coworker picked up a 50 States strategy buttons from Tigereye Design at the Netroots Nation event in Austin for me. I was strangely overly excited to get it as I hadn’t seen it before. So maybe I’m starting to get the bug.

Our friends over at MoveOn.org have a deal for you. For free (that’s no money mind you…zero) they will give you an Obama button! And a cool one at that, pictured at the top above. The catch? You have to wear the button. Deal!

They also have a great bargain: if you donate just $2 then they send you all three designs. And for just $20 they will give you 45 buttons. Tempting isn’t it?!?

Check it out!

Promised for so long and now finally online…it is three new 1.25 inch button templates designed by Joann. The oh so cute Babies For Obama button is up there, which our little buddy Henry debuted to the world back in May. The other two buttons are quite the pair of retro stylish Vote themed goodness: Be The Change and This Is The Moment.

So quick, head to the Templates page and check them out, download them, print them, and make tons of these buttons!

In an attempt to reduce the confusion, I am going to add to the confusion. Let me explain: our compatriot Rose Minier who has been tirelessly making Obama buttons just as we have and organizing button making button events in Seattle. People continually think that Rose is part of Buttons4Obama.com and people continually think that we are putting on the BarackObama.com Seattle events that Rose is organizing.

Well we decided to go ahead and bring Rose into the fold and frankly we are proud to be associated with someone like her as she remains a constant inspiration to us. You can now reach Rose at:

rose[at symbol]buttons4obama.com

Speaking of Rose, here is a photo of Rose and Jody at the Seattle Pride event showing off the People’s Choice trophy.

Joann and Jody are taking a short break from supplying buttons for Obama supporters, Obama Fellows, etc. across the country. Joann and I need to focus on working on this website. We never properly got caught up after the primary cycle and need to do so now. In the meantime, please check out the Resources and Templates pages and learn how you can start making buttons in your community!
