A faux chicken Caesar salad wrap from burrito burrito, sitting on piece of aluminum foil next to a glass filled with run wild NAIPA from athletic brewing at Mean Max brew Works in Troy, New York on Monument Square they both sit on a wooden bar. They are paper napkins around.

Uncle Sam makes an appearance on this “Get Out the Vote” reminder card for the 2009 Democratic primary election in #TroyNY. The red, white, and blue color scheme is a subtle nod to #America and the #democracy that underpins the freedoms we too often take for granted. 🇺🇸
Over the years, we’ve accumulated campaign mailers, palm cards, and other election materials representing a snapshot of elections in #TroyNY and Rensselaer County, the candidates running to represent us, and issues that dominated the headlines. troystorypod.com/blog/f/elect...
