Go Goldwater. LBJ For The USA. Win With Ford. These are just a few of the campaign slogans made popular over the years. They have been seen on buttons, posters, fans, banners, trays, plates, ribbons, watches, songbooks, and mirrors. Dozens of other items have been used to promote political campaigns since the beginning of the American electoral process in 1789.
