Free Political Bumper Stickers

Posted by Judith Zwolak Aug 23, 2007

Start early and let your car do the campaigning for the 2008 presidential candidate of your choice with a free bumper sticker available from a variety of Web sites.

For supporters of candidates in the crowded Democratic field of presidential contenders, Democraticstuff.com offers a choice of eight free bumper stickers. Supporters can choose one free bumper sticker from the current list of major candidates, which includes Sen. Barack Obama, Sen. Hillary Clinton, Gov. Bill Richardson, Gov. Joe Biden, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Sen. Chris Dodd, former senator John Edwards and former senator Mike Gravel.

The Hillary Clinton for President Exploratory also provides a free bumper sticker to supporters through a link on the HillaryClinton.com Web site.

Small-government Texan congressman Ron Paul has engendered a legion of grassroots followers, including Jeff Ready, who started the Ron Paul Bumper Sticker Campaign, an online push to supply free bumper stickers to Paul supporters. Ready, who is not affiliated with the Ron Paul campaign, will accept donations to cover some of the costs he has incurred printing the stickers. As of early August, the site has distributed more than 1,100 bumper stickers.

Aside from Ron Paul, I could find no free sources for bumper stickers for the prominent Republican candidates, including Sen. Sam Brownback, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, former governor Mike Huckabee, Rep. Duncan Hunter, Sen. John McCain, former governor Mitt Romney, and Rep. Tom Tancredo. Almost all of these candidates, however, whether Democrat or Republican, also sell bumper stickers, buttons and T-shirts on their campaign Web sites.
