Heading to the Democratic Party office in the morning
I want to pick up a few Obama/Biden 2008 yard signs. If I want five yard signs, how much do you think I should contribute?

1. They cost several $ apiece. So, to cover the cost (and maybe a little extra)
at least $4 per sign.

2. I think it depends on the office policy
I've heard that a lot of Obama campaign offices reserve their yard signs regardless of the amount donated for their volunteers. So you might have better luck volunteering a certain amount of hours phonebanking or canvassing rather than donating money. But maybe your local office is selling yard signs. Who knows but I do know that yard signs are supposed to be a lower priority on the Obama campaign's to do list.

I wish you luck in getting the signs though but don't be surprised if you don't manage to.

3. Ask them how much good they're doing them stacked against the wall.

4. If push comes to shove, pay a little extra on the website and have them overnighted.

5. Our office charges $10 per sign. we never have enough
and we have a waiting list. They are the nice thick foam ones, not the plastic paper thin ones and they have stands.
