Reasons Why Obama=IMU

1. Community Service

You may be wondering: why should Obama even wear an IMU shirt? Well, despite the fact that he’s the President of the United States, and what better way to spread your message than having the Commander in Chief himself to endorse it, there are even more reasons why Obama should wear an IMU Tee. Reason number one? His emphasis on community service. IMU is geared towards spreading happiness through service (done in the most edgy, creative, and innovative way possible through our apparel), and Obama has pushed the necessity of volunteering and service throughout his political career. Since launching in the fall of 2009, IMU has done approximately nine community service initiatives. In addition to this, each IMU employee completes 8-10 hours of community service, not because we have to, but because we want to. We also encourage our customers to do community service by providing discounts to those who complete an hour or more of volunteer work in their communities. By serving our community not only with our clothing but also with our physical presence, we truly show our belief in “The Power of We” that Obama extols on serve.gov, a website detailing specific service initiatives of the Obama administration and encouraging citizens to invest in their neighborhoods. Our ideal that “We Are Who We Are Because of Others” directly corresponds with Obama’s service motto: “United We Serve.” Obama is truly right in saying, “United We Serve…DIVIDED We Fall.” That being said, seems natural that Obama would be a GREAT model for our “DIVIDED” T-Shirt.

We definitely need to get Obama on the text now…
