I received a solicitation e-mail from the Obama Campaign. Because I've donated to various campaigns and organizations I expect these mail and e-mail solicitations and either send money or throw out or delete - This is different because I suspect they got my information from either Hodes or Shea-Porter (I donated to both)- I could be wrong about that but ... Second because with all the money they've collected why in the world are they looking for money for signs in Iowa? Seems to me that would be a basic that should have been handled months ago. Letter below the fold.
Dear Friend,
The next two weeks in Iowa could change America.
Our team here knows that what we do -- or don't do -- between now and the January 3rd caucuses will have a major impact on the rest of this election.
So we're about to take a leap of faith no other campaign has ever taken. But that leap is based on faith in you and your commitment to electing Barack Obama.
We've opened up the budget for our entire Iowa operation and cataloged everything we need to get the word out and win -- everything from yard signs to radio and TV ads.
--For about $24, you can buy 50 "Fired Up! Ready to Go!" or "Change We Can Believe In" signs to inspire supporters at public rallies.
--About $27 can pay for a statewide rural radio spot to get the word out to all corners of the state.
--Around $30 will purchase 20 "HOPE" yard signs so Iowans can see who their neighbors support.
Make a donation of about $25 to help us reach as many Iowans as possible:

Our campaign team has been on the ground in Iowa for months -- building support, recruiting Precinct Captains, and organizing volunteers to get Iowans out to the caucus. But they can't talk to everyone.
We need to get the word out and reach Iowans in every way we can, and it all boils down to one word: visibility.
In these final weeks, it's essential that we get Barack's message out to every voter in the state.
If you click the link below, you'll see specific items and specific costs, and you'll get to choose exactly how you help us reach as many caucus-goers as possible.
