I would wear that, for sure - and earrings and a bracelet, too.

And, btw, to that woman (Nash rambler?) who asked Obama, via videotape, "Do you believe
in the flag?"
Hey, lady - the flag is not something you 'believe in.' It is a symbol that represents something else.
The Constitution, on the other hand, is something you CAN believe in.
Do you?

23. That's the site I emailed. They have Declaration of Independence pins, too.
Good prices, as well, and they do have wholesale/fundraising rates.

27. Constitution Lapel Pins Sold Out at Tamarack
As general manager of Tamarack: The Best of West Virginia, I apologize to everyone here that the U.S. Consitituion lapel pins in both brass and silver are currently sold out due to a huge demand for them in the last 24 hours. This is the hand-cast version that is made in West Virginia. I am not certain, but the mass produced pin may still be available through www.pinsforpatriots.com. We hope that we will be able to have the ones we carry available again soon, but cannot say exactly when that will be.

Pins for Patriots is a West Virginia business started by an entrepreneur who is deeply committed to the Constitution. Tamarack is an economic development project that sells exclusively West Virginia made products. Through our non-profit, the Tamarack Foundation, we provide business counseling in an attempt to provide opportunity for small arts businesses within our state. I am thrilled that members of this forum have embraced the idea of the U.S. Constituion lapel pin.

Sincerely,
Cheryl Hartley
Tamarack General Manager
Beckley, WV

8. I can't remember where I saw that pin, but I emailed the site at the time.
They do give bulk rates, I believe. I suggested to the admins here that they be offered as a donation premium, like the DU bumper stickers. What WAS that site?

5. If not a miniature version, then some color of ribbon to symbolize
dedication to the Constitution? Like the red ribbons for the AIDS
cause, pink for breast cancer survivors, yellow for the troops ...
maybe red, white and blue?

7. Or purple - to be worn by either red staters or blue staters who revere the Constitution?

13. How about a small bust of George Washington that he could wear as a pendant?
Something about the size of a paperweight would probably do the trick.

18. And Hillary could have a pair of drop earrings made from the bullet casings in Bosnia
that landed at her feet.

16. Bush has given us a smaller version of the Constitution already
Cut out the Bill of Rights and neuter the 1st and 3rd Articles and what's left will fit on a lapel already.

17. I think every President and Memeber of the Government should have to wear clothing
made entirely out of flags. AT ALL TIMES!
