Love and government make strange bedfellows. What if the object of your infatuation happens to work for the government? These Valentine’s Day cards can help you win their love.
There’s a lot of variety in these Valentine’s Day cards — you can find one just right for your liberal, conservative, libertarian, or even non-partisan crush.
Here are nine Valentine’s Day cards for the government worker who gets your heart pounding:
1. For your patriotic paramour
