i bought these at Urban Ore the other day. the Fairies for Ferraro pin cracks me up - i assume they are the Radical Fairies, which is an amazing group of artists from all over. 1984 is the year that Harvey Milk and George Moscone were gunned down by Dan White.
OMG - my very first political campaign was No on Prop 8 - the Briggs Initiative that would have kicked out all gay teachers, and prevented any gay people from EVER being teachers in California, 1978! (We were seniors in high school - and BOY did we get abused out campaigning!) I was in high school when George & Harvey were killed - I'll never forget walking to government class and hearing the news on the TVs in the classrooms, as I walk through the hall to my class. I was IN San Francisco during the 'White Night Riot' when Dan White was only charged with 'involuntary manslaughter'. I was with my mom shopping for a prom dress at the Emporium in Market, and we were on BART right under Civic Center, where the riot was taking place. They stopped the train and we were stuck for quite some time. (I remember it like yesterday, because it was so close to the tragedy at Jonestown in Guyana.)
LOL - I TOTALLY remember Douche LaRouche! Can you believe that so-and-so is still alive???
