 CIVIL RIGHTS PROTEST BUTTON

CARD CARRYING 

MEMBER

OF THE ACLU...AND

 PROUD OF IT!

During the 1988 presidential election, Vice President George H.W. Bush

noted that his opponent, Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis,

had described himself as a "card carrying member of the ACLU" and used 

that as evidence that Dukakis was a "strong, passionate liberal" 

and "out of the mainstream". The phrase was subsequently

 used by the ACLU in advertising campaigns.  This button carried that

message for members of the American Civil Liberties Union. This

pinback button is just as important today with the threats to the

United States Constitution that are being voiced by some politicians.

2026 is the 105th year of the ACLU - JOIN NOW! 

From the collection of Larry Fox, "The Button Man" (Member: A.P.I.C.)
