I am not in the Tee Shirt business. I am supporter of Barack Obama who is passionate about the future of this country and I have found in Obama an inspiring leader, a catalyst of social change, and a brilliant strategist who can turn this declining nation back in the right direction.
It came to a point where I was trying to figure out what I can personally do to help get the message out and to show my support to everyone around me. I've never felt compelled to go out of my way to promote any political figure. Or anyone.
I was searching for Obama Tee shirts on ebay. None were in my size first of all because I'm a big guy. But also, all of them were either dated and geared towards only the present election with '08' which would limit the period of relevance, or they were novelty or humor shirts.
I am a member of the hip hop generation. When searching, I noticed the lack of shirts that were youthful, stylish, simple and conveyed a clear and immediate message of support even at a distant glance. I polled a large internet forum on tee shirt designs and found that people really liked this shirt and wanted to have one.
I decided to design and have shirts screen printed for the South Carolina Primary election. My intent was to get as many shirts out as possible because i did not see many OBAMA signs in Columbia, South Carolina, where I live, and I was so used to seeing the other candidates signs on every corner. I will re-invest the proceeds to continue to get these shirts to more people.
I am continuing to keep making more of these shirts to get to the public because i think it will maintain its relevance. Barack Obama is a figure that represents a movement in America. History has ALREADY been made, whether he is our next President or not. I will continue to wear this shirt in 2009 and beyond because it will still be relevant to a significant moment in our history.
Another thing I will be doing soon is putting together a compilation of hiphop music based upon the Campaign of Barack Obama from independent artists who create songs that capture this movement of change, that show support, and that address the concerns and issues that he and our nation face moving towards the future. Hopefully I can get it together very quickly so that we can distribute the music and inspire more people to take a look at our next President. It will be distributed freely.
