Political Buttons Make a Statement

When you wear a political button, it’s there for all to see that you believe in being involved in the political process. In many countries, you could be harassed, imprisoned or your life could be in danger. But in this country, wearing a political button is a badge of honor, and you are exercising your right of free speech under the First Amendment of our Constitution.

Let your friends and neighbors know where you stand.

You may not know it, but someone close to you may have the same concerns about the direction of our country that you do. But they haven’t discussed it with anyone. Here’s a way to start a meaningful conversation, and cement relationships. The message on a button can lead the way. But it doesn’t have to stop there. We all have the privilege and obligation to participate in the political process to help change the direction of our country. You can both volunteer together to be active in your local political organization. You may have a skill that is needed, whether it is handling phone calls, writing letters, working with a computer or managing group activities.

Let your family know that you care.

Your brothers, sisters, children or grandchildren should know about your commitment to democratic ideals. This may ignite their interest in becoming an active Democrat. But most important, your activities and beliefs will become part of your genealogical history. Your family members will get to know you better, and so will future generations.

Political buttons make a great gift.

A set of political buttons mounted on a board covered with a cloth makes a great birthday gift. Also, it can be put in a frame for a wall hanging. Or, it could be a starter kit for a hobby, and buttons can be added from time to time. A gift like this will truly be appreciated and displayed with pride.

Collecting political buttons makes a great hobby.

Joel R. of Salem, Oregon reported that he has been saving political buttons for the last 40 years. Hundreds are mounted on black velvet in a large oval frame that is hung on his living room wall. It’s a very attractive display with buttons of many sizes and colors, and most of them make a political statement, favoring the Democratic point of view, of course. According to Joel, every visitor has a favorable comment about his collection, which pleases him very much.

Political buttons can increase in value

Many thousands of people save buttons and take great joy in swapping buttons just like postage stamp and baseball card collectors do for their hobbies. And there are also trade shows where other collectors will buy, sell or swap political buttons. In this type hobby, some of the items increase in value when they become scarce and avid collectors want them. Of the many political buttons produced, only a relatively small number of each become available to the collectors’ market, creating rise in value. The American Political Items Collectors (APIC) is an organization which supports a national convention.
