My 2 cents .. is a group project but here is my input Not too word.. simple is better.. the Ron Paul Revolution should be on it in some way.. b/c that is the campaign slogan.. also a LARGE photo of Paul would be good IMO
Zip... Brevity of message and the photo as the eye catcher. You and I think alike. Zip, send money. hehehehe
:P I used to make pamphlets and ads when I worked in my former job.. too many words and people get on overload and just move on.. few words... one MAYBE two photos but thats it.. also his name needs to be LARGE for thats what is wanted NAME recognition .. and to connect the slogan to the name
Help us nominate Congressman Ron Paul! Paid for by the members of www.Freedom4um.Com. Not affiliated with the Ron Paul campaign. For more information about Ron Paul, visit his website at www.ronpaul2008.com. Here's my contribution to the idea. With a little tweaking, I think it might be good.
Not bad - better than my feeble efforts. You have better layout tools too. Given Hitlery's high negatives even among the Dem's makes the case as to how stark the choice is. I still like my "tag line" though - tweaking it: "In The Spirit of Liberty - Ron Paul '08". My reasoning being that one of the high positives of Ron Paul is his adherence to the Constitution and Jeffersonian principles. That is a connection that seems to run consistently through his appeal. Perhaps across the the bottom 2 font sizes up from the basic text. I would bring the the votes against the Patriot Act and the Real ID closer to the top - just under the opposition to the war. My reasoning being that we want to establish a connection with people who are not yet Ron Paul Voters. In the same vein I would suggest bringing the Bill of Rights up to the number 2 slot under Bring home the troops immediately. Also as a suggestion would be to add a little to it i.e., "Honor the Consitution and Restore the Bill of Rights". That of course connects with the "In The Spirit of Liberty" tag line.
I figured someone would have some ideas on what should go where, and what should stay and what should go. I just figured I'd toss an idea out there. I like your suggestions, but now, we only have 4X6 to work with so I will have to take it back to the drawing board. That will have to wait for tomorrow night I guess. Thanks!
Well A combo of your and Wudidiz's thoughts would be workable. By dropping the picture down to the size Wudidiz used and, if your software allows you do do it, putting the Hitlery message in a single banner across the top, and then condensing the points down to just the key one's, as per the survey thread, then it can be done.
What I did here, I did with html. I made a table and filled it with text and an image. With my Photoplus, I can do just about anything. I'll play with it and let the 4um conscience decide. :)

Do you want Hillary Clinton
as your next president?Neither do we!
On (date here) help us nominate the Republican presidential candidate which polls show to be the only one who can beat Hillary Clinton in a general election.
