April 26 / YES! / Recall [pinback button for the attempted recall of Dianne Feinstein]

[San Francisco]: n.pub, 1983. Pinback Button. 1.75 inch diameter pin, very good. As the Washington Post reported at the time, "In a city full of unique political organizations and sects, one of the most bizarre--the self-described communist White Panther Party--has succeeded in collecting 35,000 signatures to recall Mayor Dianne Feinstein because her efforts to ban handguns interfered with their right to protect themselves against the police. Bad feeling toward Feinstein in the city's large and politically potent homosexual community also appeared to have helped the petition drive succeed. White Panther Party organizers circulated petitions in the heavily gay Castro district after Feinstein vetoed a city ordinance that would have given legal recognition to homosexual couples and other unmarried 'domestic partners.'" The mayor received resounding support in the election and retained her office.
