Help Elect John Edwards President, (And get a t-Shirt, or a lawn sign, or even a bumper sticker…)
Edited on Wed Jan-16-08 12:29 PM by asdjrocky


Edwards Morning Mail No5, Item 1

-- Where all Americans right? And what do Americans like more than anything? T-shirts. It's simple. (We'll talk apple pie, baseball and stock car racing another time.) We buy them wherever we go, sometimes we get a good shirt, and it just somehow makes a statement about us. Go ahead, try to tell me you don't have a favorite t-shirt.


Now what if, on the big 7 million dollar day, just in case you don't know, it's this Friday,
January 18th,
what if we all got lawn signs for our money? Or, maybe we could each get a spiffy t-shirt. Maybe even a big ol' banner to drape across our garage doors to drive our repuglikin neighbors nuts. How about one of each? I'm a big fan of killing 2 birds with one stone, it helps if you don't have a lot of stones, (as a disclaimer here, I'd like to state as fact, I've never actually killed a bird with a stone, or in any other manner) and this seems a good way to do that.

What does all this mean?

This is what all this means, try to follow along. When you buy a lawn sign, or a bumper sticker, or a t-shirt even, 100% of that purchase goes to the campaign, and we get even more visibility for John Edwards. I've got a rally sign up in patio window right now, and I have to tell you, it looks great. How are you showing your Edwards spirit? Do people know you support Edwards, when you go to the store? Do your co-workers know how much you like Edwards because of your Edwards mouse pad? How about when they drive by your house, do they see a nifty Edwards sign on your lawn?

Let America know Edwards is your candidate! It's a conversation starter.

Hell, if you're a good ol' boy, you can even get yourself one of these:

Wear it to the stock car races!

So go buy something, Americans love to do that, support Edwards the smart way, and help get the word out.
http://www.johnedwards.com/

From the website:
All purchases made on the John Edwards for President Store are 100% contributions to
the campaign and count toward your overall contribution limit.
An individual may contribute up to $2,300 per election (the primary and general are separate
elections). This limit includes contributions made through the John Edwards for President Store.
If you have already made the maximum contribution and would like merchandise, please contact us at.


So there ya go! Buy a t-shirt, elect John Edwards.

In a John Edwards t-shirt!

1. I'm definitely doing this Friday...
also, I've seen a graphic of "Edwards Rising" that some have in their sig line which is so cool.

Anyone know where I can get "Edwards Rising" merchandise? (Oh, I just realized pervs could have a field day with that, huh? Well, in case I want to be brave, anyone know where I could get it?)

Thanks!

4. No, it's not at the official site...
it could have been designed by one of the brilliant DUers. :)

It's okay, I'll stick with the official merchandise at the site.

Kickin' again (and we'll need to do so Thursday night and throughout Friday!)

:kick:

15. Just imagine-
For 50 bucks you can get 5 lawn signs, and a bumper sticker. You'll have 4 happy Edwards supporter friends, your car will love you, and your house will look swell!

I've been here a long time. I just don't post much. I usually try to skim and hit the highlights. You're one of the posters I always try to read along with asdjrocky and a few others.

If you ever happen by the Chapel Hill office, how much support John has in the rest of this country. We won't rest til everyone's in a t-shirt.

31. I plan on donating to the Edwards campaign tomorrow-
I wonder if anyone can answer this question: when I went to the Edwards site tonight, at the donate page, it tells me that "New: Your contribution could be doubled. Public campaign financing matches your personal contribution total up to $250."

Does this apply to my contribution tomorrow? Will the monies we all are donating tomorrow be matched up to $250? Man, that would be awesome!!
