On Slate, Jessica Vitkus, author of AlternaCrafts, challenges our presidential candidates to fight for the crafter vote. To that end, she presents a handful of sample political projects for both "DemoCrafts" and "RepubliCrafts." Seen here, "RepubliCraft No. 1: Department of Homeland Security Blanket."
6 Dhsblanket
From the article:
Endorsed by the White House and Fox News, this colorful scrap quilt is a guide to our ever-changing security alert levels. Each level is labeled with embroidery to distinguish a DHS Blanket from a gay-pride flag. (Note: Blanket is not a safety device. In case of a terrorist attack, DHS Blanket will not protect you.)
