Historical NotesThis campaign button is part of a larger political collection collected by Dorothy Larson. The button is from the 2004 presidential election. George W. Bush ran with Dick Cheney for his second term and won. The donor Denis Attenburger's mother-in-law, Dorothy Larson, was a delegate for the State of Pennsylvania at the Republican National Convention in 1976, 1980, and 1984. She supported numerous Republican candidates and causes, which are reflected in the various pins and campaign materials she collected.
