...lack of "Forward" campaign materials at BarackObama.com

This is kind of a "thing" for me.

I REALLY like the Forward concept for the Obama campaign BUT...they have nothing at the Obama store with this concept. In fact, I just ordered some items off of CafePress.com because the President's store seems lacking in materials.

I've written once but could I get a few folks to also write and plead with them to get going on this...time, is slipping away very quick. I would love a Forward window sign.

This is the front page of the store site:

https://store.barackobama.com/

And this is the Contact Us page:

http://barackobama.force.com/questions

or

Write or Call the Campaign:
For any other questions or concerns, call 312-698-3670 or write us at
Obama for America, P.O. Box 803638, Chicago, IL, 60680, c/o Obama for America Feedback.

If you have time, check it out...and write if you have a moment (and your friends?) I remain amazed that they are not taking
of this concept.

Thank you!

I was watching his speech in Florida and loved that logo, but you're right! They need some merchandise with it. I really want that!

And they just ran a 20% off sale on everything that ended the 31st. Maybe they will be restocking or your local office may have something?

and no Forward stuff that I noted.

I have not had a chance to check with the local Dem office so far (this election, I'm really loaded with "stuff", mostly
having my 91 year old Mom living with me, going back to work last year [requires travel], the house, the dog, oh ya
and a business we own). The last election, they had nothing and could not get stuff from the main organization because,
there was so much demand. To help them out (and kind of undercover), I "borrowed" a couple of Change items and then
made them at least a couple of thousand color copies on various sized papers, that we had as left over/discontinued/customer
changed mind, etc....to help them out. I do need to at least see if they need help with stuff like that.

OK, so speaking...the last election, they needed so much help...they had people out doing canvasing, phone calls, and what I
did, data input for info. Time permitting, I urge everyone to see if there is a local office in your town, city, area that could
use a few hours of your time...every bit helps.

I did order a Forward bumpersticker from CafePress.com...I'll probably enlarge it up into a window sized copy for my the front window.

Don't hate me for bumping this up...just trying to enlist some more help
in urging the campaign to get materials with the Forward concept available.

to make a FORWARD design for my shop, but it was removed because I'm not allowed to use the Obama official logo. If anyone would be interested in one that DOESN'T have that logo, I'll go ahead and make it.

As for the "Otra Vez" -- I'd be happy to make that on a bumper sticker or shirt.

my shop is at www.scarebaby.com if you want to check later.

In the meantime, here's a tshirt I made this weekend, just for your amusement:

Interesting about the Forward...there is someone selling on CafePress.com...I ordered a couple
of items there...they should arrive in a couple of days, so I'll take a close look and see how they look.

OK peoples...if you need stuff, here is an offer!

People sell all kinds of unauthorized stuff. It just doesn't all get found by the powers that be.

btw here's an Otra vez bumper sticker
