POLL, One additional way to help Ukraine?

Did a poll this past week in my red town....."If you had easy access to a Ukrainian window or bumper sticker, would
you buy one to support Ukraine?" All positive answers. In the discussions I had, the main problem appears that most
people will not go out of their way to buy a Ukrainian Flag or window/bumper sticker, but if they were to happen to
come across a store display they most certainly would. Never asked about T-shirts.

My gut feeling is if we could get enough people displaying support for Ukraine, some of that "feeling good" stuff
would rub off on Joe Biden because he's leading the world against Putler. Might help us in the midterms.

Did a web search on "Ukraine" on all my local national retailers, not one including Walmart listed any Ukrainian
merchandise for sale. Amazon has 1,000's of stuff. So the big question is.....Why aren't more national retailers
showing support for Ukraine?

If everyone reading this would call/email their local retailers asking for Ukrainian merchandise, we might get them to
start. Plus everybody on social media could start asking why Amazon appears to be the only retailer showing support
for Ukraine. Easy access is the key to getting more people to show support. And the part about possibly helping Biden,
let's keep that under our hats.

So the poll question is " Should National Retailers be showing their support for Ukraine by stocking their merchandise? "

Only vote once, and respond if you have something to add.

I currently have 3 (3'x5') flags and 36 bumper stickers ordered since no one sells them around here
and I now know people who will put them to good use after my informal survey around town.
Waiting on the mailman.

Anything the buying public would buy to show support for Ukraine, window & bumper stickers, car & house flags,
T-shirts, coffee mugs, etc, etc. Not merchandise made in Ukraine as all their manufacturing is currently geared
toward the war effort I assume.

at cafepress, but can't figure out how to add the colors of their flag, beginning to think it's clear or white
background only. Where's the best/easiest place to design and buy bumper stickers, anybody know?
