Some say it was coined by David Brower, founder of Friends of the Earth, as a slogan for FOE when it was founded in 1971. "All Politics is Local" is usually attributed to the former speaker of United States House of Representatives, Tip O'Neill. This button was a favorite of protesters and activists in the 70's, 80's, through today. Activists have renewed the call for us to THINK GLOBALLY - ACT LOCALLY.

VINTAGE and HISTORIC 1975QUESTIONAUTHORITY2 3/4" x 1 3/4"" OVAL with safety pin back Made in the USA "Question Authority" is a popular slogan which was was popularized by psychologist Timothy Leary. One of the most influential icons in the counterculture movement which formed in the late 1960s out of opposition to the VIETNAM WAR, Leary gained influence among much of the youth by advocating the use of LSD – which was criminalized in the United States in 1966 – as a way to escape from the burdens of society. Following the Watergate Scandal, which resulted in the resignation of US President Richard Nixon and the conviction of several officials in the Nixon administration, the slogan became an ideology among many baby boomers.
