In Honour Of Republicans/Politicians

Considering the race going on now to the south of us, for the nomination for the Republican candidate for President, I thought it would be interesting to show our covers to or from political figures, big or small.
This cover has been shown before, but the sender Omar W. Platt was a Delegate to Republican National Convention from Connecticut, 1924.



Let's see your politicos.

edit- I've renamed this thread to honour ALL politicians. No bias here.

i HAD one addressed to Gov. Nelson Rockerfeller...i will have to go on a hunt through the covers now!!

This the oldest "return addressed envelope" in my collection.
It is a test vote for the Democratic party nominees in the 1888 U.S. presidential election.

It wants you to place your vote and chew bakky.

Cleveland v Harrison:

Produced by the Democratic party 1952
very thick cardboard...Lapel badge?



Self explanatory:

How about political appointees? heres one

signed by the postmaster Washington, D.C.

Not a cover but how about a ticket to the 1896 Republican Convention.

Vote American :

Just received this one in today's mail. Sent to Colonel James H(utchins) Johnson, Lisbon, New Hampshire by David Burbank on December 19, 1837.

Burbank owned a lumber yard in Hartford, Connecticut and Johnson owned a lumber mill -- the letter content was informing Johnson that Burbank had a market for 50 to 75 masts if they were of sufficient quality.

Johnson would later represent New Hampshire in the 29th and 30th Congresses.

This came in the mail yesterday. I believe the stamp is a PNC- it's kind of hard to tell with the cancellation.

rod,

"Vote American", that is one of Americans' many third parties. They come and go.

Sorry Ray, I plead ignorance
what are third parties?
I can guess, but rather not.

I heard yesterday, an Aust discussion on Michelle Obama's speech
(we don't have that in Oz, we vote for a prime minister and party)
It was described as The Americans voting for their Monarchy
with respect to the families being presented as they are.

Because of the prominence of the Democratic and Republican parties, any other significant political party might be considered a "third" party.

In reality there are several active political parties.

Cheers Smauggie.

How about one from a First Lady ?

Or the White House ?
