I had this, in all modesty, fantastic post that I'd written about the significance of each and every person involved with the campaign and the ways that we can contribute to the effort to make Barack Obama the next president of the United States. It's gone. It took me too long to write it and my log-in timed out. The post, and all my brilliant insight, is lost forever. At almost 1 am, I'm too tired to try to reconstruct it. Instead, I'll post the most important part of what I was trying to get out there, a list of items needed by the Dayton, Ohio campaign office. The bulk of this list consists of things that are needed in any office environment, including the campaign offices nearest you. Check with your local campaign office to find out what is on their list of needed items. See below:

In addition to the list below, please consider contributing food for the volunteers. (baked goods, snack foods, vegitarian/vegan, kosher, halal, etc.) Some of the Obama Fellows are putting in 12 hour days and would love a home cooked meal instead of burgers or carry-out. Contact your campaign office directly to find out when there is the most need.

Dayton Office Wishlist:

pens (ink pens, highlighters, dry erase pens, permanent markers)
computer paper
butcher paper
posterboard
sticky notes
nametags (self-adhesive "hello my name is" or pin-on conference badge type)
manila folders
desktop file racks or in/out baskets
other office supplies not mentioned above
toilet paper
paper towels
umbrellas
sunscreen
bottled water
clipboards
prepaid cell phones
computers (Win95 or newer w/ ability to connect to LAN/WiFi
toner for Brother MFC 9700 printer
car
gas cards
bus passes or tokens

Items in italics were added by me and did not appear on the original list.
