  <blurb>Do you remember when I wrote to you a year ago on Daniel&amp;#39;s 30th birthday? &lt;br /&gt;

Our lives have changed considerably since then. The campaign has exploded with three full-time staffers, as well as innumerable interns and volunteers. We have our basement back since the campaign moved to its office in Skokie. And, of course, our newborn son Elliot has brought more joy to our lives than we ever imagined. So much is going on that it might have been easy to forget Daniel&amp;#39;s 31st birthday, but I didn&amp;#39;t want to let that happen. &lt;br /&gt;

Another exciting development is that we now have lawn signs that we&amp;#39;re ready to deliver to enthusiastic supporters across the district. Daniel and the many hard-working volunteers have identified more of those supporters than anyone thought possible.  While this is great news, it has resulted in an unanticipated expense.&lt;br /&gt;

That&amp;#39;s why we need your help. As a birthday gift to Daniel can you please help us buy 31 yard signs by donating $40 today? Together we can paint the whole district with our purple and blue. Your $40 contribution will help spread the buzz and build the momentum that is a hallmark of our campaign.  Fifty of those contributions will raise the extra $2,000 that we spent on the signs.&lt;br /&gt;

Thank you so very much. Over the next two months, as Daniel walks across the district, every time sees yet another Daniel Biss for State Rep yard sign, he&amp;#39;ll know that it&amp;#39;s one of the 31 you helped buy with your $40 contribution donated today, his 31st birthday. &lt;br /&gt;</blurb>
