"No more If's And's or Butz" button promoting the dismissal of Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz during the Watergate years.

Butz subsequently resigned. Original button.
Historical Notes
In one gaffe, Butz was reportedly overhead to a question regardng why there were so few blacks in the administration. Butz responded "I'll tell you what the coloreds want. It's three things: first, a tight pussy; second, loose shoes; and third, a warm place to shit." That was the end of Butz.
