Don't tread on me

Where in DC can I buy Tea Party stickers?

I need bumper stickers or other medium sized stickers with Tea Party jargon on them on short notice for a gag gift but I have no idea where they sell them. The more ridiculous/potentially offensive, the better. The closer to either Dupont Circle or Arlington, the better.

Dunno about tea party specifically, but the touristy shops at Union Station have ridiculous stuff like Bush Jr. "miss me yet?" t-shirts and Sarah Palin cut outs. Political Americana near the White House (http://www.yelp.com/biz/political-americana-washington) is another place to check.

The most awful stuff is likely on Cafe Press type web sites... Seems like there are a few clones that are specifically right wing. (http://www.google.com/m/search?oe=UTF-8&client=safari&q=related:www.cafepress.com/rightwingstuff&hl=en)

Response by poster: Unfortunately I don't have enough time to order online and wait for them to arrive. Which is a shame because I have found a treasure trove online.

Rather than give them any money, I'd be inclined to just crank them out myself. Grab one of these things at your local Michael's (or other craft store), and go to town.

You get the added bonus of making the slogans as bad as you want.

The DC Republican party is at 1275 K Street NW Suite 102; [phone]. Maybe they have some?
