Divine 9 For Obama t-shirts
Sorors,
In my opinion, these shirts are really close to posing a threat to our tax-exempt status. Here is the link: http://divine9forobama.com/dst.html. I know I certainly won't be purchasing one!

^That's exactly what I was wondering about (how it might impact tax-exempt status). We were having this discussion last week.

Wow, they even used Fortitude.
I bought a shirt that says "Ba-rack the Vote" in black and gold. Subtle, but doesn't violate our trademark or our tax-exempt status.
Some folks just want to make a buck. That's sad.

These shirts are as dumb just like names for groups like "(insert org) for Obama"
Our orgs aren't endorsing candidates. Period. Don't even get it twisted A LITTLE BIT.
It's an attempt at making money and marketing a candidate behind organization names.
Not to mention the shirts are tacky ("Devastating Divas" annoys me, anyway). If you're a Delta who likes Obama, do that without affiliating it with Delta. I can't wait until this damned election is over so people can get over the annoying Obama phone calls, email forwards, tshirts, blah blah blah.....
Lastly, that link spells "Devine" and "Delta Sigme Theta." They can go to hell for that.

I might have bought a shirt that was just red and white with Barack the Vote or whatever they say, but the Delta references/allusions won't get purchased.
LOL @ can go to hell for that.
And just think we haven't even got our phone calls yet. Or at least I haven't.

I think the AKA shirts are cute. They don't have any of our letters or symbols; however, I don't think I'll be purchasing one either.

Because the NPC doesn't care about black people.

Ditto and ditto. People will try and capitalize off anything.  Come up with a better and more acceptable marketing strategy that does not involve piggybacking off the reputation of others.
Will you get phone calls if you are on the Do Not Call list? Cuz I meant everyone. Politicians are not exempt. Obama is cool, but not cool enough for my peak minutes.

I know you have more sense than to wear the Devastating Divas shirt. 
I haven't gotten a call but I know some people who make calls for the campaign. I don't know if they only call registered Dems or whatever but I'm not on that list.  I have been getting those annoying Obama emails from multiple sources.

Ditto at both.
