I wanted the black long sleeve T-shirt by Tracy Reese, until I saw the price tag. I’m not paying $79 for a t-shirt, I will have to wait for the bootleg or knock-off…

If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.ErnestHemingwayErnest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms

The white tee is girly and my style (and I would wear it) but not for $60 or higher.

Clearly $60-80 is too much for a bag or tee shirt… but it’s a reasonable campaign contribution. I’m going to think of these things as free gifts with donations.
Let’s go everyone, kick Barry $100 to make America sane again! And the cute swag is a bonus.

@ Rachel:
You are so right, I tried to think of it that way, but my brain just has a problem processing. I have given well over $70 to Mr. Obama, and I didn’t receive a thing. You’re right, this way, it feels like you’re getting something tangible…

For those of you who want original, limited edition Obama shirts, you can find urban Obama designs on fashion forward shirts from an indie designer named Elektra, who is based in Manhattan: http://www.coup.etsy.com She also sells her much sought after shirts and art in Soho — even Madonna has one…
