5 x 3", vinyl sticker
This is the first sticker that Stephen made. It is an important symbol in his work, being used in both his
United States of Islam and Ameristan projects. This provocative image invites many interpretations:
the peaceful embrace of Muslims by the American society; the collision of political Islam and the US government;
our country's fight against terrorism and the global jihad; and now recently, our government's desire to
interfere
in Muslim countries' civil wars, inevitably helping to create new Islamic regimes, as in Egypt.
Above all, Stephen
wants to encourage
a conversation about Islam and politics. We musn't be afraid of the use of
Islamic symbols or the discussion of Islam.
Freedom of speech is a cornerstone of American values. Those who abuse
the term "Islamophobia" try to shut down the
conversation,
but it is important that we examine the
rise of
political Islam
around the world and its interaction with Western democracy
and our liberal, humanist values.

5 x 4", vinyl sticker
First used in Stephen's World Conquest lawn sign campaign, this satirical image is now on a sticker.
With the grave and growing threat of regional or world war by Iran's race for a nuclear bomb, we must speak out
against our government's, and the world's complacency. Iran's efforts to create a nuclear weapon has now been admitted
by the head of the IAEA. According to King Abdullah of Jordan, there will be a
major war
in the Middle East within a year,
unless we do something to change the
dynamics in the region. We need to put these
stickers where our government
servants will see them.

5.5 x 5.5" (4 x 4" rotated), vinyl sticker
This sticker is part of Stephen's continuing theme of protest against borrowing money from China to solve
our own
credit crisis, as he did in his Bailout For America project. This administration is mortgaging our
future by borrowing huge amount of money from China simply to keep the lights on. According to CNN, the Obama
administration will set a record $5 trillion in deficits in just four years, dwarfing President Bush's deficits of
$3.4 trillion in eight years. Congress is unable to balance
a budget without enormous cash infusions from
other
countries, and this must stop. So, every peice of government
property should now bear these stickers
to show their real ownership.

5 x 5", vinyl sticker, clear
This sticker is taken from the Great Seal on the American Excess print.
The Age of Cheap Oil is coming to an end after only one hundred years, and we are woefully unprepared for the
big changes coming soon. Every giant Hummer, every huge McMansion, every jumbo jet carrying packages
overnight is just another sign that we live in a Petroleum Nation.
