Our Friend
Image
A poster featuring the face of President Franklin Roosevelt on the right, and several people on the left. A soldier is holding a child in his arms, and other people are waving their hats. Three of the hats have AFL-CIO buttons on them. A straw hat has Farm Bureau tickets in the hat band. One hand is holding the American flag which appears in the upper left corner. This poster was published to elect a progressive president and congress in 1944, specifically, to help propel Franklin Roosevelt into an unprecedented fourth term. Text in the upper left reads, "Our Friend" and across the foot, National Citizens Political Action Committee."
