Political Schwag: Election Promos

Putin Stop Horsing Around!

PoliticalSchwagCollector — Mon, 03 May 2010 18:57:03 +0000

In an attempt to start this week on a more light-hearted note, make sure to grab your customized picture frames, because this latest shot of a certain Vladimir Putin will have you itching to hang it up on your wall in jest. In this picture it appears Putin’s horse feels extremely ashamed after being kissed by him, as the horse then goes to hang his head between two branches of a tree, which prompts the question…can horses tell bad people from good ones? Either way, I bet this horse wishes he were a promotional stuffed animal so at least he didn’t have to remember what Putin’s kiss felt like.

Bi-Partisan Defection

PoliticalSchwagCollector — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 18:21:08 +0000

Governor Charlie Crist of Florida made a drastic decision when he decided to abandon the Republican party and run for state Senator as an independent. Taking abuse from both sides of our custom governement, as the Democrats want him to join their party while the Republicans are furious, Governor Crist wants the people of Florida to decided for themselves on whether he should be elected. This promotional political campaign isn’t anything new however, as Joseph Lieberman did the same thing not too long ago. However, we will have to wait and see what the results will be…

Arizona Bashed on SNL

In the Weekend Update section of Saturday Night Live, Seth Myers went on to bash Arizona for its passing of a law which allows for authorities to demand documentation of legal residency from anyone they deem fit to ask it from. This new law has called into question Arizona’s custom government, as it seems to be a promotional advertise for people to be racially profiled. In the video, Seth Myers compares this decision to one of fascism and makes a, legislation-wise correct, reference to Hitler. All in all, it was pretty entertaining and I’m certain that this new legislation will be repealed shortly.

Ukraizy!

Check out what happened in Kiev today. In a debate on last week’s decision by the Russian and Ukrainian Prime Ministers to extend the lease on a Russian naval base in Ukraine, the opposition party launched promotional food at the Chamber Speaker. Talk about custom government protocol! I think the next time that the Ukrainian parliament holds a meeting they’ll hand out egg shaped promotional stress balls instead!

First Amendment’s a Beautiful Thing

Well it’s a good thing this customized tote bag didn’t come out during President O’bama’s personal political campaign. Although, I don’t really see the results changing much. And while I’m not a huge fan of this bag, it does speak volumes about the freedoms we are entitled to in America. The First Amendment is something that makes the United States one of the pioneer nations in the world, and if this is one type of result that occurs from us having it, then I say pedal on! I just hope this bag is made of promotional recycled products!

Earth Day and Gaylord Nelson

PoliticalSchwagCollector — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 19:00:04 +0000

Being that today is Earth Day, we should celebrate it’s founder…former Senator Gaylord Nelson. This customized t-shirt depicts a quote of Senator Nelson’s and aims to help raise personal awareness in an effort to help save our planet! Profits from promotional Earth Day goods always go towards a good cause and are always environmentally friendly, so why not help out with our Earth and get yourself a long-lasting, eco-friendly shirt!

Obama Man

PoliticalSchwagCollector — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 19:11:47 +0000

It’s a bird, it’s a plane…it’s President Obama! And he’s doing his best Superman impression, which one must say, resembles America’s champion fairly well. Maybe our President should make his own customized shirt donning a large “O” symbol, although the cape, he can do without…as well as the tights. He might have to lose the promotional watch as well, due to the fact that superheroes run on their own clocks. I’ll say one thing though, if our President was actually a superhero, it would do wonders for his next personal political campaign!

Obama’s Call for Local Action

PoliticalSchwagCollector — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 19:37:13 +0000

While giving his Earth Day speech, President Obama called for the American people to take local action in the fight to save our environment. With cleaning up the environment one of his biggest platforms during his promotional political campaign, President Obama asked for the American people to remember how they’ve passed such acts as the Clean Air and Clean Water bills to create a safer environment for the American people. While noting the success these types of acts have had on America, he still maintained that the American population can do better, calling for the people to take more action on the local sphere to help make the country a healthier place. So with our President calling for us to respond, let’s start helping out in our local communities, even if it’s just by using custom biodegradable products, we should do everything we can to make sure our nation stays clean!

Take it out…on your Tee!

PoliticalSchwagCollector — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 19:42:05 +0000

Do you happen to know that one person who always argues against your liberal, democratic views on issues that he knows nothing about? Well, take it out on them by wearing this customized t-shirt. It looks like someone took a promotional pen and wrote a note on your shirt to remind those kinds of people that they need to actually learn about what they’re discussing! Granted I’m not trying to pick out Republicans on their lack of political knowledge…it is just usually common for them to be associated with not knowing what they’re talking about (insert laugh out loud).

It Has Begun

Midterm elections this year will be held on the 18^th of May, which is a little more than a month away from now! Personal campaign products are now being distributed in every way possible to encourage people to vote. With that in mind candidates, such as current Pennsylvania senator Alan Specter, have been making use of their own promotional advertising methods, in order to sway voters their way. The aforementioned Specter, for instance, has already launched three television advertisements, along with all of his custom brochures and flyers, in what looks to be a super tight race. So in lieu of the impending elections…let the scramble for votes commence!
