    1st - STOP THE DRAFT! Don't get me killed 1.75 diameter Lithograph.
    Speaks for itself.

    2nd - TAXES FOR PEACE NOT WAR World peace tax fund 1.5 diameter Lithograph. from NCPTF
    NCPTF = The National Campaign for a Peace Tax Fund was founded in 1971 to address the basic issue of conscientious objection to war to pay their full tax liability without violating fundamental moral, ethical, or religious beliefs.

    3rd - OLD ENOUGH TO FIGHT OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE over 18
    1.25 diameter Celluloid.
    Many protested the fact that at 18 you could be drafted or join up to fight in the war however you could not Vote for those sending you there, another button on this was the LUV button Let Us Vote.

    4th - HOOVER LIVES 0.875 diameter Lithograph.
    FBI, J. Edger Hoover died on May 2 1972 but the FBI and there ways continued on campus ergo HOOVER LIVES used on college campuses across the nation.
    >BACK STORY<
    On March 8th 1971 (the night of the Joe Frazier vs Muhammad Ali fight as cover) when the Citizens Commission to Investigate the FBI, a group of 8 young citizens who dared the break in of the Media Penn FBI office, taking all there files that ended up revealing among other things the FBI Counterintelligence Program known as CONTELPRO that investigated, infiltrated and spied on many groups and individuals from the New Left AKA War Protesters/Hippies, the Black Panthers, and the Woman's Liberation Movement even the Boy Scouts of America. The files revealed the FBI telling M.L.K. to commit suicide giving him 34 days to do so “before your filthy, abnormal fraudulent self is bared to the nation.”
    Hoover despised King with an incredible zest and had the letter sent to King once the FBI investigation found extramarital affairs when they were looking for a association with the Communist Party that they never found, NOT that Hoover had room to accuse as we learned much later about his (gay) affair this his long time assistant.
