I can't believe I haven't come across this before now. Or in fact that anyone hasn't been in touch to tell me about it. This afternoon I found an image on google images, which is now to be found just over there to the right.
Women For Welch is a campaign to get Peter Welch into congress in the states, representing Vermont. A group of women hope he will fight for their rights, and get women's issues more exposure. Quite right too.
The best bit is... they will send a button (or a badge if like me, you were born on the east side of the pond) to anyone that requests it. So obviously I had to apply.
The campaign is clearly over as Peter Welch now has a seat in Congress. So it could well be that 'Women For Welch' badges are sadly no longer being sent out. However for the sake of an email...
Good Afternoon.
I was really encouraged by your campaign when I found the website http://welchforcongress.com/womenforwelch
I too believe that women's voices should be heard at all levels of politics. Although I am not a woman myself, my mother is.
I would be truly honoured to wear a Women For Welch badge on my lapel if you would be kind enough to send me one.
Many, many, thanks.
Adam Welch
address etc.
If the email bears no fruit in the next few days, I might fill out the contact form on his official congress site. He must have one or two in a draw somewhere, and I am sure he must have some spare time to pop one in an envelope. I'll let you know if anything turns up.
