I just got my Blue Hope Bracelet
I just got my Blue Hope Bracelet in the mail today. I am excited. It was just $3 for one (and they sent me an extra one to share). There are discounted prices if you buy more than one.

Here is the website: http://www.hopebracelet.com/mission.html

I can't wait for my Right Wing Mother-in-law to see it and ask me about it.

1. *sigh* was it made in china?
I'm going to talk to local shop owners and see about getting some of these things made stateside...


Think there'd be a market for American made bracelets?

I've said this before: I do not want to slow activism to any degree, but there's no reason to import these things other than increased profit for distributors.

2. Good point
But at least these bracelets raise money for the causes they show support for... unlike certain ribbon magnets we are all tired of seeing...

4. Made in the USA
On the inside of the bracelet it says that it was made in the USA and gives the website www.customsiliconebracelets.com.

5. God, I hope they are not made by freepers--wouldn't that be the ultimate?
And I don't see any real purpose for this. That is the equivalent of a yellow ribbon on a car.

7. I proudly wear the blue bracelet
that says, "1 of 57 Million Americans". And I bought a few more for some like-minded relatives.
