Manitoba MP Steven Fletcher has a novel way of rewarding constituents and friends.
He sends them a small version of himself: a Steven Fletcher bobble-head doll.

But more than that, Fletcher is encouraging bobble-head recipients to take him on the road and take pictures too.
The quadriplegic Conservative MP is hoping people will post the photos to Twitter with the hashtag, #ComeBobblewithMe.
His 5-year-old niece, Evelyn Siemens, who lives in London, England, is in charge of his sightseeing on the other side of the pond.
Evelyn has already posted a picture, and, with the help of her dad Steve, even managed to get Fletcher (the bobble-head) out to the where the show Downton Abbey is filmed to shoot a video.
Fletcher says he'll keep handing out the figurines "while supplies last," and he seems to be getting a kick out of seeing his mini-me travelling to all sorts of locales.
