Support Darcy Richardson for President With This Political Pin

Posted on January 17, 2012 by admin

Austin Cassidy says of Darcy Richardson, “I know from our conversations that his feet are firmly planted on the ground. This campaign exists primarily to give a voice and a choice to those on the left who are dissatisfied with what they see as the president’s failure to deliver on the change he promised during his 2008 election.” Cassidy was speaking of the Richardson for President campaign.

2012 progressive democratic candidateYou probably haven’t seen anything about the Darcy Richardson for President campaign on TV, or on the radio. That’s because Darcy Richardson defies the standard narrative about the Democratic presidential contest in 2012: That Barack Obama doesn’t have any challengers from within his own party.

Darcy Richardson is a veteran progressive activist who is seeking to give liberal Democrats an alternative to voting for Barack Obama, who has adopted a series of right wing policies alarmingly similar to the agenda advanced by George W. Bush. Richardson is already on the ballot for the Democratic primary in several states.

If you’re one of the many Democrats disappointed by Barack Obama’s support for Republican ideology, show your support for a progressive alternative. Wear this Darcy Richardson for President political pin to start a conversation among the Democrats you know, and remind people that the Democratic presidential primary contest of 2012 is anything but over.

Vote Mitt Zombie for Lord of the Underworld!

Posted on January 10, 2012 by admin

The season for the presidential election mashup has arrived – and as long as we’re playing mashup, let’s make it a monster mash.

mitt romney satire tshirtTonight Americans will see the results of the 2012 New Hampshire Republican presidential primary, and those results will probably show Mitt Romney widening his lead in the contest for the GOP nomination… but only because Romney’s competitors have been stumbling, drooling, frightening shadows of what fully alive presidential candidates should be.

Mitt Romney hasn’t come out of the Republican contest looking very well himself. Romney is past the end of a viable political career, repeating the same old slogans and ideas that he heard way back in the last century, when he was young. Mitt Romney is so out of touch with the lives of Americans today, it’s almost as if he’s the walking dead.

If we’re going to have someone who’s like a walking dead candidate for President, why not vote for the real thing instead? If Republican voters want to elect the undead into the White House, they can go all the way, and support Mitt Zombie for Lord of the Underworld instead.

Secular Americans Against Rick Santorum

Posted on January 4, 2012 by admin

Rick Santorum effectively won the Iowa caucuses last night, reducing front runner Mitt Romney to nothing more than an eight vote lead. This victory by Santorum should be extremely troubling to Americans who support the separation of church and state.

anti-santorum t-shirtRick Santorum has openly advocated for the replacement of open democracy in the United States with a Christian theocracy. Just a few months ago, Santorum said that Americans must all follow Christian religious law. He wants American federal laws to be forced to comply to harsh Christian sharia laws because “as long as there is a discordance between the two, there will be agitation”.

The Secular Coalition for America explains, “Mr. Santorum has supported giving government money to religious schools that discriminate based on religion through the use of voucher funds. Santorum has gone even further and seeks to bring fundamentalist doctrine into public schools. In fact he was such an enthusiast, that the Santorum amendment was named for him. This amendment proposed the teaching of intelligent design while questioning the academic standing of evolution in U.S. public schools.”

Rick Santorum’s push to reduce all of America to only one religious point of view comes as religious diversity is increasing in the U.S.A. Christianity in America is becoming less popular, and other options, religious and non-religious, are expanding.

It’s time for secular Americans to stand together, and express a clear rejection for the politics of religious repression that Rick Santorum supports. Wear this made-in-the-USA tshirt to have your say, and to demonstrate that you are one of the many members of Secular Americans Against Rick Santorum.

New Hampshire Against the Republican Party

Posted on December 28, 2011 by admin

“The Republican leadership in our state needs to wake up and smell the coffee,” says New Hampshire resident Mark MacKenzie. Unfortunately, the New Hampshire GOP seems merely to have been sipping the brew of the right wing Tea Party.

anti-republican coffee mugThis year, with the Democratic presidential nomination all wrapped up by Barack Obama, the Republicans are getting all the attention in New Hampshire. That attention is wildly inappropriate, given that the policies of the Republican Party are not at all similar to the values of the people of New Hampshire.

The people of New Hampshire are civil, so we’re not suggesting that you get in a shouting match about political misrepresentation. Do something more subtle. Calmly sit down each morning and have a cup of coffee – just make sure that your cup of coffee is bearing this message: New Hampshire Against the Republican Party.

Vote Jill Stein and Rocky Anderson 2012!

Posted on December 19, 2011 by admin

Jill Stein is running for President with the Green Party. Rocky Anderson is running for President with the Justice Party.

They’re both great candidates – real liberals who won’t offer the warmed over Bush policies that Obama has foisted onto us. But, how could a person ever vote for both Rocky Anderson and Jill Stein?

Think about this. What if there was a unified ticket with both Jill Stein and Rocky Anderson on it?

green justice campaign buttonThis campaign button presents that possibility, which all of a sudden seems a lot more likely, given that Jill Stein admitted last week that her campaign has been talking with Rocky Anderson about cooperating for some time now.

The Green Party plus the Justice Party… would equal Green Justice.

Imagine Jill Stein as President and Rocky Anderson as Vice President. The image brings new energy to the 2012 presidential contest, doesn’t it?

Justice Party political buttons

Posted on December 12, 2011 by admin

You know a political movement is real when you can put a pin in it – when people care enough to design and distribute metal buttons promoting the movement, literally attaching themselves its values.

goddess of justiceToday, at 2:00 PM in Washington D.C., former mayor of Salt Lake City Rocky Anderson will announce the official founding of the Justice Party.

Already, Irregular Times, a liberal web site that’s been online since 1995, has a small collection of Justice Party campaign buttons. Each button features the ancient symbol of justice – a blindfolded woman, holding a sword in one hand, and the scales of justice in another.

Why Doesn’t Newt Gingrich Take A Bath And Get A Job?

Posted on December 7, 2011 by admin

Newt Gingrich, when he heard that peaceful Occupation Movement protesters were getting pepper sprayed by police officers across the country, didn’t seem to think it was a problem. He shouted out at the protesters, “Take a bath and get a job!”

Of course, Gingrich was ignoring the fact that tens of millions of working age Americans are out of a job because of the very same policies of economic inequality that Gingrich himself promotes.

dirty politics with lobbyistsBut, even more important than that, there’s the question lingering in America’s mind: When was the last time that Newt Gingrich had a job? Gingrich hasn’t had a job in years! He’s been making himself rich by using the contacts he made back when he was in the U.S. House of Representatives. He’s been working with corporate lobbyists as a “consultant”… a power broker for the financial elites, the 1 Percent, helping the rich to get richer while everyone else gets screwed.

Newt Gingrich is the one who needs to take a bath. He was involved in the worst kind of dirty politics when he was Speaker of the House of Representatives back in the 1990s, peddling sleaze against his opponents, even while he was piling up so many ethics violations himself that Gingrich is the only Speaker of the House ever to receive a formal rebuke for unethical behavior.

It’s disgusting that Newt Gingrich can angrily shout and scream at out-of-work Americans, when he has so many problems himself. This button design counters Gingrich’s shrill attack against the unemployed, with the slogan, Hey Gingrich! Take a bath and get a job!

Patriots Support Rocky Anderson for President

Posted on December 6, 2011 by admin

The United States of America is in crisis. Our democratically-elected national government has faced a series of threats of complete shutdown, brought by extremist Republicans who are willing to sacrifice people who depend upon Medicare and Social Security, for the sake of the comfort of millionaires and billionaires.

In the face of this threat, Barack Obama has been weak and meek. He’s caved in, compromised, made concessions over and over again, and in the end, he’s handed Republicans just what they wanted: More tax cuts for the rich, but only budget cuts for the rest of us. Obama has been an ineffectual President, at best.

When their nation is in a crisis, what do patriots do? They don’t just sit in front of their television sets and complain, that’s for sure.

presidential campaign button 2012Real patriots stand up and get to work. They take action to confront their nation’s problems.

That’s what Rocky Anderson is doing. Rocky Anderson worked for years as a leader within the Democratic Party, to try to bring the Democrats back to the liberal progressive base that has been the source of Democratic power for generations.

This summer, when Barack Obama approved a deal that’s leading to massive cuts to education, Medicare and Social Security, without any sacrifice by the nation’s corporations and 1 percent most wealthy individuals, Rocky Anderson decided he had enough. He quit the Democratic Party.

Yes, Rocky Anderson quit the Democratic Party, but he didn’t quit politics. Far from it.

Rocky Anderson is forming a new political party, the Justice Party. It’s a political party founded on America’s great liberal traditions: Equality, peace, liberty, responsibility, and of course, justice.

Rocky Anderson is now running for President. With his 2012 presidential campaign, Anderson is offering an opportunity to liberal Patriots across the United States. He’s raised a flag of progressive principles for us to rally around.

Do your part. Stand up. Join Patriots for Rocky Anderson.

Compassionate Americans Unite Against Newt Gingrich

Posted on November 26, 2011 by admin

Newt Gingrich has built his political career on a foundation of anger, lashing out against anyone who deviates from his strict path of righteousness, and blasting those citizens who rise up in protest against injustice. Gingrich seems to regard compassion as a character defect, rather than a virtue.

anti-gingrich tshirtLiberals have different values. We know that it’s not wrong to help our neighbors. We know that it’s a good thing to come together, as communities, and as a nation, to work on projects we could not complete on our own. We don’t believe in judging people simply because they live in ways that are not familiar to us.

It’s time, for the sake of the decent character of our nation, for compassionate Americans to come together in opposition to the 2012 presidential campaign of Newt Gingrich. This tshirt helps you start the rallying cry for simple kindness… and it’s made in the USA, because it’s cruel to buy cheap t-shirts made in overseas sweatshops with child labor.
