I’m a wonk, you’re a wonk. We like reading legislation and we’re proud of it. Strut your stuff with GovTrack’s new merchandise.
About a month ago I started a t-shirt design contest. With a $100 prize at stake, about a dozen people submitted ideas — three submitted shirt-ready images. Congrats to Matt Pentifallo The Last Resort on dvd who stole the prize for his satirical design:

I Know What You Did Last Session
(For the older readers, this is a reference to a horror movie.)
Ben Rellick submitted some new logo images, based on the site’s current logo. In appreciation, I decided post-hoc to add a runner-up prize of $60 for Ben. Ben’s submissions are on t-shirts and a mouse pad. Here’s the mouse pad:

Finally, Susie Holderfield submitted a cute red G with an eye inside, which I turned into a mug:

Thanks to all of the submitters!
I also added a design myself. It’s an image of a bill, the House’s health care bill, and on the back is the page with the supposed dead panels, which are clearly not mentioned on that page.
The merchandise is now available The Alphabet Killer movie download . It’s all created, managed, and shipped through a third-party website that does this sort of stuff — Zazzle.com. I just upload the designs.

Now, I didn’t do this to make money so all of the merchandise are available at the lowest rate that Zazzle.com will let me sell them for. But, people have asked me how to donate to GovTrack and I’ve always declined donations in the past (GovTrack is NOT an actual non-profit charitable organization), but if you want to support the site, you can also buy the same merchandise at a marked-up price. You choose.

Couldn’t find T’s Made in the USA?
That’s not an ethical/moral priority for GovTrack.
Geez, Rebecca, can’t you say anything nice? These are great!
Great gifts, as such they should all have the Web address on them so as to spread the word about this great site!
