The Hat
No donations. No memberships. One hat, and the arithmetic behind the color.

The Common Sense Cap
A plain cotton cap with white embroidery and an adjustable strap. Purple, because that’s what you get when you mix the two parties’ colors — and because neither of them owns it.
- · Embroidered, not screen-printed
- · Made to order and shipped straight to you
- · Price set with the first run — I’m aiming for under $30

Take the two party colors, mix them half and half, and you get purple. Nobody picked it. We the people, not we the parties.
The Fine Print, Up Front
This site doesn’t take donations, and the hat isn’t one in disguise. The price will cover making and shipping it, and that’s all. I’m trying a few other designs; this one goes first. In the meantime, everything else here is free: start with the plan.
