With the election getting closer and closer my support for Obama is starting to rage. I found these amazing designs at Changethethought and thankfully they are free to use for non-commercial purposes.

I’ve sized them down to 480×320, perfect resolution for the iPhone. I’m sure they could be used on other phones too. You can save these to your hard drive and sync them to your iPhone in iTunes or an even easier way is to visit this site in mobile Safari and save them directly to the phone.

Thanks Google for appreciating such a creative mind.
