Sport your Obama belt and celebrate a new America.
Read pre-election mission below. As time was short all sales proceeds through election day were donated to Obama08, MoveOn, VerifiedVoting, ColorofChange, the DNC and the DSCC, before covering manufacturing costs.
Fashion Travels Fast. Wear the Belt. Get Out the Vote.
There are only a few weeks left until the most important presidential election in American history. It is an election for which record numbers of people have given what they can -whether it's money or time- and have wanted to give more. The Obama nameplate belt was inspired the night Obama's candidacy became official, and its manufacture is to help fund groups and individuals who can give their time by letting supporters show their support in style.
With its classic urban styling, the unisex belt is meant to reach those to whom news of fashion is treated equally to news of healthcare policy, economic recovery, Iraq, and global warming. The belt will get out the vote when people see it on television, in magazines, and on the street. Like the people doing the work of grassroots organizing, the belt has integrity; it's made from all-recycled metals in New York City, and assembled with Union labor. As its designer Elise Mogensen says, "proceeds from the sale of the belt will be used to pay the expenses of those of us with time but no money to do the time-consuming, patience-and-diligence-requiring, hard work of physically bringing our asses to swing states and getting people to the polls." The Obama belt is for everyone who wants sport their support for Obama.
About the Belt:
The belt is a product of New York City. The buckle is crafted with 100% recycled "pot metal" or in solid sterling silver, gold, or platinum and made with care and pride in NYC. The belt is crafted of a gorgeous genuine leather and it's put together by union labor, not in a sweatshop. It's priced at wholesale (please note that it costs 10x more to manufacture here where we can be sure that the materials used are what they say they are and we can see that labor laws are being adhered to, as opposed to infinitely cheaper production in China or Malaysia) and the profits are dedicated to electing Senator Barack Obama the next President of the United States. The price for the basic model is $100 including tax and priority shipping, with secure checkout through this website.
