Campaign Goodies
I used to be very interested in politics when I was in high school, but became pretty disillusioned with the whole scene during college. Since then, I haven’t paid much attention to local and state elections, and just barely keep abreast with what’s happening in national elections.
But one thing I have always enjoyed about campaign season is getting free products from the various candidates. I live in a suburb of Chicago, so during national election years there are always a bunch of rallies within driving distance. I sometimes go to these functions with friends, and end up coming home with everything from t-shirts to buttons, bumper stickers, keychains, and promotional pens. I’ve already gotten a bunch of swag this year, and the Presidential campaigns haven’t even really heated up yet!
I don’t care whose name is on this stuff. I’m not picky when it comes to freebies!
