Obama campaign office has no bumper-stickers - Frustrating
I've been phoning the Bethlehem, PA (Northampton County) Obama campaign office for a few weeks to inquire about getting some bumper-stickers and lawn signs. Up until yesterday, they had neither. Now they have lawn signs, but still no bumper-stickers.
I said to the woman who answered the phone, "Uhh...Time's getting short."
She laughed, "Yeah, I know." Then she suggested I try ordering them online. If the campaign office can't get any, why would I?

Out of curiosity, I phoned the Northampton County republican headquarters. They said they have plenty of McCain bumper-stickers and lawn signs. I found the same conditions during the Casey - Santorum battle.
As far as I can find, we don't even have a Northampton County Democratic Headquarters.

Is this typical of other PA Obama campaign offices?

I read JPZenger's thread about printing your own, but not many of us have access to the necessary supplies.

Considering the lack of supplies and disorganization, we sure make it difficult to win elections. Frustrating!

1. Bethlehem out of yard signs
As of yesterday, Bethlehem had run out of yard signs. Your best bet is to buy stuff in bulk from www.demstore.com and then hand it out to your friends. They are faster and cheaper than the official Obama site.

3. Allentown has yard signs
As of today (Saturday), the Allentown office on Hamilton between 9th and 10th has plenty of yard signs to give away (but no bumperstickers or pins). The local staffperson said he has no control over the material that is sent to them. As of a few days ago, Bethlehem had run out of yard signs.

4. I ordered some online on Sept. 19 and am STILL
waiting for them to ship them out. I'm hoping its because of popularity rather than incompetency. Either way, I'd like some signs soon!

5. www.demstore. com is quick
I ordered Obama buttons and shirts from www.demstore.com and they came in 2 days by standard shipping. They have a large selection.
