Grover Cleveland - $1000 BillHere is a fun piece of political trivia. Name all the men who one the popular vote for president more than twice. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, obviously. Andrew Jackson did it after first being robbed of the presidency by a deal made in the electoral college. But who is the third? The answer is Grover Cleveland -the best president you don’t know about!  Cleveland of one of the popular vote in three consecutive elections: 1880,  Grover Cleveland campaign button1884, and 1888.

As the only Democrat elected between the Civil War and 1912, Grover Cleveland  was noted as a man of stubborn honesty and personal integrity even by those who bitterly opposed his policies.   Be sure to read this article about  his amazing life – our first superstar First Lady. This  completely unique multimedia presentation will educate, entertain and intrigue you!
