Buttons work. Around 1980 when Fob James (Repub) was elected governor of AL, he came stomping in with a plan to slash employees and pay rates for AL employees, of which I was one. He did this from day one without even studying the situation.
State employees wore big buttons that said simply “We’ve Been Fobbed”. Ultimately, he hired an outside agency to assess jobs and pay rates which ended up giving me a $1200 per annum raise. Some jobs were rated downward; many were rated up. Fob slowed down and started trying to cut govt. expenditures in
a more sensible and organized way.
Our AL Senators and most of our Reps are against this amnesty bill.

My husband’s band worked that campaign in 1978 for Bill Baxley, the Dem. Interesting experience.
