In a speech at a fundraiser in Virginia last night, Mitt Romney talked about the "We Stand United" lapel pin he had created for the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, and used it as an example of how he's going to bring Americans together if elected as president:

ROMNEY: And so we created a little pin and we notified people that we’re now going to be selling these pins and the proceeds are going to go [to charity]. … I just remember going downstairs after it was announced — we were in a big, tall skyscraper in Salt Lake City, and it must have been next door I think where they were selling these pins, and there was a line all the way down the street.
