I had to go look through my button box. Have some protest buttons (Old enough to fight Old enough to Vote), some hope buttons (Peace Now) ( Earth Day) and a bunch of assorted ones. My pride and joy is a large button - John F Kennedy Our Next President (with his photo in the middle.
I have a Bush/Quayle button from 1988. It was the first election I could vote in! I believe I also have my ticket from getting to hear George W speak at an event at Fidelity Investments when I worked there, although I'm not sure I could put my hands on it. It was limited seating so names were drawn in a lottery.
...and I am old enough to remember watching Bill Bradley play for the Knicks, geez.

Well. That was painful. My husband has a replica of a Chester A. Arthur campaign button. Does that count?
I still have a '92 Clinton/Gore button lurking somewhere n the junk drawer of my dresser...
