Manchester Union Leader. New Hampshire. Sunday circulation is entire state, 250,000 copies. That translates to over 300,000 readers.
Sounds good to me. :) I'll tinker with my thing tomorrow night, make it 4X6 and incorporate the suggestions made here tonight. I'll post it for all to critique. :)
LMAO! I am old and my eyes don't like small print. So I have my browser displaying 4um in pretty large text. My layout was done with html and the large text and everything looked great, nice and even and lined up perfectly. So just now, I was fiddling with my browser text size, and when I looked at it then, it looked awful. So are you folks all blind like me using large text or were you just being kind? lmfao!
it does for me too.
i have my font size on maxthon set on large too.
excellent suggestions..now, since the ad is limited to 4x6, will the text be too tiny to see?
I can make RP smaller to accomodate text I think, but I am too tired now. Just got done making www.ronpaulforumny.com/ The new york meetups were looking for a place to coordinate.
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.

We may have to do some pruning. Certainly the anti-war, and pro-Bill of Rights should stay. While eliminating the FED is important to those of us already aware of the bigger issues moving the current scene to someone not up on it abolishing the FED, even if they know what it is, is an issue who's significance would, from simple lack of knowledge, elude them. Condensing it down to a list like Wudidiz's would work within the size limitations.

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. :)
This is a bad time of year for me to do grunt work. Creativity - ouch! - I'm still stuck at the lolly pop for trees stage of artistry. Loot I can do. 1 out of 3 ain't bad.
Roger! Hotel Sierra, Out.

just one? ; )
LOL!!!
You must be registered with the correct party to vote for Ron Paul in states with CLOSED PRIMARIES. Click Primarily Paul and scroll down to the State by State chart. As promised: I need a proofreader to double check my spelling. I can read it a thousand times and not see the obvious, like just now, I had to change to "candidate" from "candidan". Don't ask how I got that or missed it ten times... lol

I know! awesome! I bet we hit 20 mil this quarter. hehehe
I hope Ron Paul blimp works out, I love it! I'm not wealthy though, so only gave $100 today, and am bogarting another $100 I'm gonna spam on the establishment on Dec 16 to help Ron Paul.

I didn't give anything today. Too many people owe me money. I have to keep what I have on hand, just on case. lol
Most excellent! Bravo Zulu! Kudos! Now, I'll check over it for typos. Can't find any. Just fucking outstanding!

Looks great!
Spam The Primaries! Better yet,get people to accuse you of spamming the primaries. Step two, collect

Thanks.
lmao
Bravo Zulu! Kudos! Just fucking outstanding! So I take it you think it's ok? hehehe
That's wrong of them, want to team up getting your money returned? You're not above forgery, are you? What's with the lag between ordering Ron Paul campaign materials and delivery anyway?

Not counting all the free media he has gotten because of us his supporters. I think we can come up "out of Mom's basement" now. No other candidate is getting this kind of genuine grassroots enthusiasm and support. The Establishment NeoTrotskyCons have got to be going ballistic. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Team!
"When I die I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather - not screaming in terror like his passengers." - Unk.
It sucks man. Let's see, in the last month or so I have been burned for a few grand, and I have the last payment on a big job I finished in March that still hasn't gotten here. I call them every chance I get. I always get voicemail, and they never call back, natcherly.
tomorrow is national sign holding day. I don't care how much money you've contributed, it's time to stand up and hold a sign.

Absolutinfuckley!

Critter, I know that I'm late to the table and all, but wouldn't a more current picture of Paul be better? Say, like this one? Otherwise, it's a great ad!
Check out my blog, America, the Bushieful.
Can I set my sign next to me as I cut stair stringers and get my stairs from the house to the lower garage set up? I'll be working right next to the road. A snow storm is coming Sunday, and I need to get the stairs done tomorrow.
Got it! If I didn't have to work I'd be out there. Of course a few people have already told me I'm "out there".
"When I die I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather - not screaming in terror like his passengers." - Unk.
That's good.
Thanks! It will take all of about a minute and a half to change pictures. :)
Fine by me...

OK, give it a reload and see what you think.
I'm gonna go to Iowa to pass out campaign literature, only question is how I cando it without quitting my day job. Quite the dilemna for us working class folks.

Much better. The MSM favors that old pic which is reason enough why we shouldn't. LOL.
Check out my blog, America, the Bushieful.
I'm going to start going to NH on the weekends...
yeah, I like yours better. He looks good.
