As of 28 June 2017 the Radical Caucus has 99 different message buttons, which are packaged in a set of three PDFs plus a guide.
Template Releases
Message buttons have been firmly underway since the Orlando Convention in 2016.
The first firmly package set of button sheets was released on 27 June 2017, although there was difficulty with making it available for download.
The upcoming set is being worked on, increases the number of messages, and should have an improved guide. It should be completed before the end of the year. Do not wait for it -- use the current release.
Supported Sizes
The 27 June 2017 release only has templates for 2.375 inch, but may also work for 2.25.
The upcoming release plans to add 25mm.
Additional sizes are needed, especially three inch or larger.
Black on Gold Buttons
Most messages are printed on gold/yellow paper in black ink. These can easily be done with a black-only toner printer or even a black-only photocopier with essentially no calibration concerns.
At present the only identified paper to use is Neenah Astrobrights Sunburst Yellow. This list needs to be made rather noticeably longer. The target is to match or at least approach Pantone 109C
Color Buttons
These buttons need to be printed in color on white paper.
Help Wanted
The guide should provide adequate descriptions for each button so that anyone who is having trouble understanding why, say we're calling for the abolition of the NLRB or even what the NLRB is can find it, as well as see what other versions of the button may be available in different sizes (presently 2.375 inch and 25mm/1 inch).
