I Am Wearing My KERRY/EDWARDS T-Shirt Tomorrow...Why Aren't YOU?

[Placebo]

:P

I'll be big pimpin' in my K/E t-shirt tomorrow, spreading the word!

How will you be doing the same?

[StupidFOX]

1. Nazis will shoot me

(gets down in fetal position and rocks back and forth)

[Maestro]

2. Because I work at a school

Not allowed to do it. :(

[Longhorn]

3. Me, too! :(

[jab105]

5. Me three:(

n/t

[meganmonkey]

16. OMG - DUers are teaching our children?!

What is happening to our schools?!

;)

[Dzimbowicz]

7. Same here

My school prohibits it too. However, my "Veteran for Kerry/Edwards" bumper sticker does make it into the parking lot.

[starbuck6446]

27. me too.... but I'll be wearing my Dixie Chick Rock the Vote shirt!

[Kire]

4. i wore mine today, and it stinks

I'll wear my other one, tomorrow.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

6. I'll be making sure everyone

in my company goes to the polls and votes (100% Democratic, btw). Cant wear Kerry/Edwards stuff as there's a dress code at work, but the car is loaded with stickers.

[Nightwing]

32. If my Kerry/Edwards shirt isnt on me,

it's because it's in the washer, then dryer and ready for use the next day. I have worn mine everyday since I got it and will continue to do so.

:kick:

KERRY/EDWARDS 2K4!!!

[geekgrrl]

8. me too- my K/E AFT shirt!

And all my buttons on my coat and backpack- I'll be decked out!

(although I am preaching to the choir in my sociology program)

[meganmonkey]

9. No K/E-wear for me - I work at a 501(c)3 Non-profit

and we can lose our tax-exempt status by supporting a political party. But you need look no further than our parking lot where stickers range from the rude (Bush Is A Punk Ass Chump - that would be mine ;) ) to the tasteful (small sticker with 'W' in a circle with the line through it) to the obvious Kerry/Edwards.

[wellstone dem]

13. me2

[Daisey Mae]

10. I will

[WI_DEM]

11. I work in a business office at a hospital

so no political buttons or t-shirts.

[meisje]

12. I don't have one

[Lady Effingbroke]

14. I don't have a K/E shirt :(

[0007]

15. cuz I'm too broke to buy one

Thanks to *'s economic policies, I have not bought a shirt in over 4 years. Wouldnt be able to pay rent!

[meganmonkey]

21. pay rent...or get that stuff for 4:20!

hee hee. couldn't resist. can't wait the trick-or-treating's over in my neighborhood so i can partake of some treats myself.

;)

[terrya]

17. Dress code at work. But I WILL be wearing my button.

We can't wear t-shirts at work.

[Fifth of Five]

18. Wish I could...

Hatch Act prevents it.

My boss was in my office telling how she explained to her daughter why she was voting for *. If * took 25% of your allowance for taxes and Kerry took 50%, who would you vote for?

It was almost enough for me to ignore the Hatch Act and go after her, instead I just said, "That's not a true representation of the candidates' positions, but we are not supposed to talk about politics, so can you answer this work-related question instead?....."

How stupid are these people?

[RoyGBiv]

22. Don't ya hate that ...

One of my supervisors made a point of letting everyone know what the rules were regarding pushing a political candidate at work, which was fine in and of itself. It is work, and I don't mind not being allowed to push Kerry if it means I don't have to listen to the Repukes who work with me try to do the same.

But, increasingly over the last couple weeks, that same supervisor keeps making snide comments about Kerry during breaks. She tried to draw me into a conversation on Friday, and I finally just told her we were not supposed to discuss politics at work and walked away.

Irritating.

Anyway, Welcome to DU!!! :hi:

[Fifth of Five]

29. Thanks for the welcome

Repubs don't seem to have any problem ignoring the rules.

[newyawker99]

34. Hi Fifth of Five!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Fifth of Five]

35. Thanks...

And a big how-de-do right back at ya!

[evilqueen]

19. Because I've been too broke to buy one. :(

[hlthe2b]

20. Been wearing my Women for Kerry/Edwards pin on my lapel and ....

Women for Kerry dog tag/Kerry2004 button on my shoulderbag since I got them--every day. I get lots of appreciative comments and have to watch like a hawk, that no one nabs the pins off my purse!

[Xenus Sister]

25. I'll be doing Election Protection training, not sure if I can

I know I can't wear any pins or anything on Tuesday, but I forgot to ask wear anything for training. I'll probably wear pins only, so I can take them off if it's not allowed.

Btw, hate to say it, but I can't stand that Women for Kerry picture. I know it's from WWII, Rosie the Riveter and all that, but it just looks mean to me, and I don't have muscles. I understand how others think it's cool, so I'm not putting it down or people who like it, it just doesn't do it for me.

[hlthe2b]

38. Well, I think the pic on the RTR dog tag is better than the pin...

but it is an empowered woman thing and I truly believe women and youth may be what pulls Kerry through...I think it has been sort of co-opted by the lesbian community (and I'm not), but I still like the sentiment, so I don't really care if some misinterpret. Have you ever seen interviews from women who were the original "rosies" of the 40's? They weren't at all big and tough, nor muscular (nor am I)-- just determined and capable.

[blondeatlast]

23. Can't at work, I work in a government agency and that is consdered

campaigning.

Soon as I get home, though, and all day canvassing Tuesday, plus all my buttons!

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. I wear one EVERY day.

:7 Tomorrow will be no different. My son is going to school in Kerry t-shirts on Monday and Tuesday AND Wednesday to rub PRESIDENT Kerry in the face of the little Bushbots at his school. :bounce:

[Malebolgia]

26. I'll be wearing my College Democrats t-shirt...

tomorrow and Tuesday.

On the front of it, it reads "College Democrats", and on the back it reads "Whoever heard of a nice piece of elephant?"

Funny as hell. :)

[heidiho]

28. Mine Has Bush & Cheney Pointing to Each Other Saying:

Cheney: I'm With Stupid

Bush: I'm With Satan

A real crowd pleaser!!!

[DemBones DemBones]

30. How can I wear your Kerry tee shirt if YOU'RE wearing it?

:shrug:

[Lorien]

31. Don't have one

wish I did, but I don't. I just wear my buttons while I volunteer.

[cynthia]

36. can't, I work at a school

but I'll have my Educators for Kerry/Edwards T-shirt washed and dried to put back on when I get home from school for my last night of door-knocking.

Meanwhile the bumper sticker on my car in the school parking lot will have to do.

[Cozmosis]

37. I think I might stick my bumper sticker on my shirt

How's that? :)

[JohnKleeb]

39. I am like sleeping in tommorow

before you call me a slacking bastard, keep in mind that I will be working nine hours election day.

[grace0418]

40. I am currently wearing my "War Begins with Dubya"

t-shirt, which also says "re-defeat Bush 2004". Tomorrow I will be wearing my "Your vote is your voice, use it or lose it" t-shirt along with my Kerry button and my "women for K/E" dogtag necklace. Tuesday I will wear a different GOTV t-shirt along with the KE accessories. In fact, I haven't taken the necklace off, nor will I until Kerry is inaugurated. My little superstition.

[Scoopie]

41. Well, for one thing

I don't own one. Let's just say that I would own a Kerry shirt...

And, even if I did, I couldn't wear it to work. T-shirts aren't a part of the dress code.

[flaminbats]

42. because I wore it on Sunday..

never fear, I can still wear my Kerry/Edwards cap on Monday!

[thinksmart]

43. Sounds like a plan

Kerry / Edwards shirt day.

[gauguin57]

44. Yeah, I'm always dripping with Kerry gear. It starts conversations,

and then I can ask the person next to me at the salad bar if they're going to vote and can the Dems county on their vote, etc. In my ultra-conservative county, it lets Democrats know they don't have to hide in the darkness any longer.

Today, as I did a literature drop in a small ultra-conservative town in my ultra-conservative PA county, I got booed from a passing car because I was wearing the T-shirt and holding a pen and stack of papers (obviously campaigning).

The more they boo the prouder I am to be a Democrat (and they've booed a lot -- our local Demo. group was loudly booed throughout three county-fair-type parades in this fascist place.)

I was obviously brought up better than they were. I'd never boo at them, steal their signs, whatever.

[flaminbats]

45. Brought up better than they were?

remember there is some good to be found in evil, and some evil to be found in good.

[treehuggnlibrul]

46. Wearing my shirt and Women for Kerry dogtags tomorrow...

will be wearing my dogtag Tuesday, too.

Wore my shirt for passing out candy tonight. A few parents around to see it.

[venus]

47. K/E button on my purse, and signs galore on my house. and yard sign.

Not allowed to put anything on hubby's car, though he's a Kerry supporter. Wish I had a K/E t-shirt for polling duty Tuesday though.

[txindy]

48. I'll be wearing one tomorrow AND Tuesday (voted early)

I'll also be wearing one plus red/white/blue to celebrate on Wednesday!
:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

[BruceWane]

49. Just wore mine on friday...

.....so I'll be wearing my "Bush-Cheney Farewell Tour 2004" shirt tommorow.

[TexasTreasure]

50. IN TEXAS IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO WEAR A CAMPAIGN SHIRT

I'm an election judge and was instructed to tell people to cover their shirts (with a piece of paper, if necessary) if those shirts have a candidate's name. The law states that you can't have campaign material within 100 feet of a polling place.

[Hello_Kitty]

51. I have to wear a collared shirt but I'll be sportin' the button!

[eleny]

52. Been wearing my big K/E button on my coat

I get a lot of "looks" and a few have commented positively. Never one negative word. Enjoy wearing your shirt proudly!

[marlakay]

53. Had my "Got Kerry" shirt on all day today

got lots of yeah man, way to go, he's the one, no one said anything bad, but I am in bay area CA!! One girl at Longs Drug Store asked where I bought my shirt, I said cafe press online.

[union_maid]

54. I work for a non-profit

It receives federal funds and we're not permitted to be overtly political. Of course, every person who works there and most of our clients will be voting Kerry, so it's moot. Our bumper stickers go with us wherever we go, though, and my "complete sentences" button is on my handbag in case I stop at a store on the way home.
