Per request, here is a ready-to-print 8½ by 11 inch “Indians for Obama” sign I put together. Print some out and tape them up in your car, in your house, give them to other supporters or use them as signs! Email your friends and family asking them to do the same!

NO OFFENSE INTENDED
I think this needs to say Native Americans for Obama.

None taken. Actually the individual that asked for this sign was of Indian (India) descent – one of two completely different meanings of the word.
A “Native Americans for Obama” sign should be available very soon.
Update: just uploaded a Native Americans for Obama sign.

Dear Obama Media,
Great work!
My suggestion for the Native Americans sign would be the more current and accepted (and accurate) “First Americans.”
Also my thirteen year old son made up one that could be for “scholars for Obama” which is YesWeCan in Latin:
Ita Vero Nos Possum!

The correct sign should be First Americans for Obama.

A number of people have suggested that I replace the term “Native American” with “First American”. However, I have had several individuals specifically request signs with the “Native American” term and I also know several individuals which refer to themselves as “Native Americans”. I hope that everyone realizes that reasonable people can disagree, especially when dealing with issues of ethnicity.
I’ve also provided a First Americans for Obama sign for individuals which feel this better identifies them.
