Pogo For President

Pogo has had many hard fought campaigns in the past. Some ephemera and remembrances from these past campaigns are found on the following pages:

Campaign Buttons. Pogo has been running for President since 1952, and has had a variety of campaign buttons over the years. Here's a bunch of examples.

Go Go Pogo. This famous campaign song was written by Walt Kelly, and was published in "Songs of the Pogo". It was also sung by Kelly on the record "Songs of the Pogo".

Press Releases. Here are copies of original press releases created by Walt Kelly and issued in 1956 for Pogo's run for (or away from) the Presidency. New releases will be added periodically during the campaign. Most of these Kelly press releases make more sense than current Presidential candidate statements.

If they had recounted the Okefenokee and Everglades Pogo would have won the 2000 Presidential election.
