A promotional graphic with a blue background. At the top, bold white and orange text reads: "Don't just READ about history... MAKE history and support the MONEY OUT OF POLITICS proposal today!" Below is a photo of a man and a woman outdoors. The woman is holding a clipboard with papers, and the man is looking at it while gesturing with his hand. Hand-drawn style white and orange lines and stars surround them. An arrow points from the text "RESTORE OUR POLITICAL POWER" to the people. Another arrow points from the text "FIX OUR BROKEN DEMOCRACY" to the clipboard, which is emphasized with drawn orange circles. In the bottom left corner is the logo for "MOP UP MICHIGAN" featuring a small broom icon.

Furgus, a blue merle Smooth-Coated Collie, sits patiently in a bookstore aisle between two tall shelves of books. He is wearing a black harness and looking at the camera, ready to greet customers.
Meet Furgus, our new part time greeter. He's a friendly smooth collie, like an aerodynamic Lassie. He works most Wednesday mornings, so come by and say hello! He's paid in pets and dog biscuits and well worth it. 42/10, employee of the month.
