Background: Several years ago, the FDR Chapter and the Democratic Political Items Collectors (DPIC) merged to form the FDR & DPIC chapter. Although the chapter servers to educate members about Franklin Roosevelt, all Democratic presidents and candidates are part of the focus of the group. The chapter newsletter The New Deal Spirit is published 3 times per year with other member premiums occasionally distributed. The newsletter provides insight into FDR and his era through feature stories. Other Democrats are also feature in each issue with a focus on collection campaign-related buttons and other material from Democratic political campaigns past, present, and future.

So, if you are a Democrat and/or enjoy collecting Democratic political campaign items, this chapter is for you!

The FDR & DPIC Chapter meets once a year in May at the Michigan Chapter APIC show.
