November Rally: Plaque Comes Out In Support of Zeldin for Congress!

Shirley, New York - The name plaque of Marcus Povinelli make a quick stop in to see how its owner was making out on the Zeldin for Congress campaign earlier this month. The plaque stopped for a photo op with a Zeldin bumper sticker while there and shared stories of its 1,000 mile plus campaign to meet other name plates across the land.

The meeting took place just before the end of the campaign, making this post a bit dated, but when you're as busy as this name plaque, that happens from time to time. While in Shirley, the name plaque also had the chance to visit its owner's desk, bringing back a brief feeling of homesickness for our traveling friend, but nevertheless, it kept pushing on. Where to next? Only the plaque really knows.

Life's a Beach for this Plaque

After a brief layover in Newark, it wasn't long before the name plaque found its way to the beaches of Nantucket. Ah yes, the oldest of America's tourist traps was hosting the plaque for a few days. It wasn't before long that the plaque found its way to Siasconset Beach; for those that don't know its one of the nicer, harder to get to beaches of the island, where mostly rich yuppies own a home. So, the plaque invaded this space!
The plaque made many stops along the way, including to John Kerry's house on the island (not pictured). But it couldn't help but stop and admire the ocean view, which some say is way better than anything those fancy-smancy Long Islanders claim to have.

Heading to the Beach

Layovers are never fun, especially in a New Jersey airport. So here we are at Newark International Airport, zoning out the CNN on the flat panel tvs and people-watching as the minutes tick away to boarding time for the final connection to Nantucket. Marcus’ name plaque hasn’t been seeing much travel in the last few weeks so it’s come to keep me company on my trip to visit one of my best friends in Nantucket. This is a deviation for Marcus’ name plaque as it prefers the comfort of a slate-gray metal desk; another emotionless and cold item of the white collar world. Also the plaque doesn’t like going near water, or outside of the Empire State. But hey, isn’t the point of a vacation to do something 180 of the norm? Let’s consider this a fact-finding tour as it treks across the sands of New England beaches, and asks Massachusetts residents their opinion on the referendum to do away with the state income tax.

The Traveling So Far

Well the name plaque has been to many places so far, from Albany to Mayville and last spotted in Clifton Park, NY. In total its been a 710.1 mile trip (with today's fuel prices, that .1 mile is going to be counted). Thus far the plaque has met many other name plates and caucused with important leaders representing various interests in the Empire State. We'll keep you up to date on its travels around the region.

Headed to the North Country

It took a while for Marcus' name plaque to make it out of the Western parts of New York State; the Pony Express is not as reliable as it was in the old days. The name plate of fame made a brief appearance on its fact finding tour across the Empire State, at the Treadwell for Congress Office in the 20th CD. Unfortunately Sandy was out campaigning so the name plate was left to have a conference with just the door sign.
