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.
excellent suggestions..now, since the ad is limited to 4x6, will the text be too tiny to see?
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.
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
Voted against the Patriot Acts. Patriot Acts or Patriot Act? ...who can beat her, according to the polls. Maybe this can be improved/changed? If you can address the above two changes, And a couple more ideas: --Perhaps consider using his Toll Free number 1-877-Ron-2008 --You could reword/reduce a little text here, Ad sponsored by Freedom4um.com. It looks good to go!!! Thanks Critter, good job !
Correct me if I am technically wrong, but isn't there a Patriot Act and Patriot Act II or is it just referred to act Patriot Act II? I've tried a few ways, and none looked great. lol If someone is a better wordsmith, please, help! I thought he had one, but I didn't know what it was, and the contact page on his site doesn't show it. Thanks! I will change it. I wanted to give 4um a good long plug, and let it be known that there is a thriving community here. :) Thanks for some good feedback.

There are two. Maybe say, Voted against Patriot Act I & II? (It's nitpicky time, huh? So sorry Critter, not personal) ...who can beat her, according to the polls. I've tried a few ways, and none looked great. lol If someone is a better wordsmith, please, help! PLEASE SOMEONE!! hELP HERE!! ;) As for the plug for the forum, it's great, just a little busy. It's only my 2cents. LOL!
