Where is my bail out?

I’ll be the first to say that I don’t understand the real scope of the financial bailout of Wall Street firms and all the ramifications of passing, or not passing, the bailout that is being fought over in congress.

All I know is that I work hard, spend within my budget, no longer use credit cards, am completely debt-free, and see no reason that my tax money should be sent to bail out greedy people who didn’t manage their risk properly and got into debt over their heads.

Truly, I don’t understand it.

Since there’s not much else I can do, I added a new design, I am too big to fail. Where is my bail out?, to my CafePress shop.

Will this help to solve the problem? Of course, not.

Where is my bail out? sweatshirt

Maybe you would like to wear one of these products to protest this whole mess. Maybe not. It’s up to you.

Sigh.

New political campaign products at CafePress

As you know, the 2008 elections are heating up much earlier than normal and this should provide you a real opportunity for selling your designs through CafePress if you reach an audience who is politically motivated to campaign for their favorites.

CafePress recently announced the upcoming availability – on or around October 10, 2007 – of political yard signs and 3.5-inch buttons.

Because of the printing method used, the yard signs are printed on both sides with no second location surcharge.

The larger buttons have the same aspect ratio as the 2.25-inch buttons so you may be able to use that design on them.

Other changes noted are the switch from off-white paper to white paper in the perfect bound books.

You can read more information on the announcements page.

If you are not already a CafePress Shopkeeper, let me invite you to join for free and sell or buy your own custom designs. I get regular commission checks from CafePress and love selling my designs at John Dilbeck’s Shirts, Mugs and Hats.

Even if you only want to make products for yourself and your friends, you can open your own store at CafePress.

Act on your dream!

JD
