Do I mind? Not at all. Where are you going to post them?
Well, then let's all donate to one person and have them do it. We're not up to forming a PAC and all that that entails - at least I'm not. Please keep me posted as to how to fashion the check, and where to send it. Off to burn some tenderloin on Mr.Grill. Thanks for the pics - I'll go with 2.
I think we should send no interest long term loans (1000 years) to one person to help pay their electric bill. And then, maybe that person can afford to pay for some newspaper ad.
Regarding this ^ one: 1. Wonder if that's the best picture? 2. 'conservative' capitalized? 3. Perhaps 'true' & 'real' capitalized? 4. Maybe 'A True Conservative - a Real Republican'? or 'A TRUE CONSERVATIVE - A REAL REPUBLICAN'? or 'A True Conservative, a Real Republican'? 5. Instead of diamonds in front of each of the 12 points, 6. Capitalize the beginning of each sentence? 7. 'Increase' has an 'e' on the end of it. 8. 'Internet' capitalized. 9. Comma after '2008'. 'Kay, I'm done nit-picking. It's getting closer to perfection. Thank you all for letting me be a part of this, and thank you, Critter, for the most EXCELLENT work!

I'm thinking we need to take a break here and re-evaluate the ad. Considering the endorsement of the paper, and the desire to keep it simple. If the ad is too busy, it will be lost. IMO. Critter. You are to be commended for stepping up to the challenge, and working your fingers to the bone for RP. ***APPLAUSE SIGN****!!!!! I love the new pic of RP, it's a good one, and more current. Personally, I like it. That will make about 4 times I've put in my 2cents in 8 hours. (grin) Ron Paul is the PEOPLE's CANDIDATE. Perhaps it's best to stay away from Hillary, Liberal , Conservative, and all those labels that have been purposefully perverted into various meanings to different people. Pauls words seem to work best for him. Works for me. Maybe a breather and have some fun to recharge the batteries?

Pauls words seem to work best for him. Works for me. Just as Dr.Paul lets the Constitution speak for him, so should we let him speak for himself. Great point, Peppa, just great.
My husband likes #3. I still like #2.

Good points.
Outstanding!!! What an excellent ad you have created. Thank you. You are my hero of the day.
I'm slightly reminded here of the scene in Office Space where the guys look up money laundering in the dictionary. ;) For libertarians, the candidate is a means to the issues. But for most of the electorate, the issues are the means to a man. Libertarians often can't get their heads around this fact of life or refuse to follow the implications. So, with that advisement, here's my idea of a perfect Paul ad: Start with four pictures across the top, each with a term underneath. 1) Pic: Protesting Mexicans. Caption: Illegal Immigration. 'nuff said. 2) Pic: White family guy sweating over tax forms. Caption: Taxes. Now, I hate to break this to civil libertarians, but it's really hard to fight directly against the "Patriot" Act. Who doesn't want to be a patriot? (Well, we know who, but we can't say.) But fucking nobody likes to be searched by the police. So 3) Pic: Sharply dressed black businesswoman getting a hard time at the airport. Looks distressed. Caption: Searches. We link searches with mistreating non-threatening black women. And we'll pick up a few frequent fliers, nudge-nudge. 4) Pic: Amputee Iraq vet in a hospital bed. Caption: War. Bonus association: By placing searches right next to war, we link war with searches. Below this, big letters: "Is there a Doctor in the White House?" Big picture of Paul. "No. But there will be." We say the presidency is sick. Dr. "No" association, for those who know it. And we directly contradict the idea that he can't win. Then we tell 'em in big letters what we wan't 'em to do: "Vote for Dr. Ron Paul for President in the Jan 8 2008 Republican primary." We've repeated the Doctor theme, and given them a simple, easy command. And that's all you say. You definitely don't say, for example, that he'll eliminate the income tax. Even most people who think that's a good idea think it's impossible. Tell 'em that face-to-face and they dismiss you as a nut, or agree with you but not actually change their behavior. So whaddya do? You make 'em work for it. Give them the URL and toll-free number. As soon as they've invested even the tiniest bit of effort, they're more likely to give the idea a fair hearing. They'll be reluctant to admit to themselves that they've wasted their effort. Ain't I right gals? Don't you have to hold a little bit back? God I feel dirty.
You mind I start posting these now?

Ron Paul is the PEOPLE's CANDIDATE. Perhaps it's best to stay away from Hillary, Liberal , Conservative, and all those labels that have been purposefully perverted into various meanings to different people.

I've had a little more time to think about this.

Great idea for a future ad.
#519. To: wudidiz, critter (#499)
One more suggestion: Bigger font on telephone number.

It's really a pleasure to be able to discuss things without the squadron o' shills attacking every odd post or more. Not mentioning the site or names, you know? ;) What a relief.

No kidding! That's why I love it here. This would be a 5k post thread by now with the intertwined flame war.

Anybody know any local N.H. issues we could hit? Or particular national angles of special importance to N.H.?

#527. To: wudidiz (#499)
1. Wonder if that's the best picture? yes. imo, better to use most current pic. 2. thru 4. I'd tend to agree with Peppa about the perverted labels, but the Hillary angle is what is ingrained into the right's brain as who their opposition is. 5. the diamonds are fine. 6. Caps the rest... Ok.
#528. To: Critter (#523)
Oh, ok. didn't see you were thinking about a parody.write a parody and record it
my studio is in the shop ; )

Shouldn't ".Com" be ".com" in the freedom4um.com url?
Check out my blog, America, the Bushieful.

Good point. I have heard there were places like that.

i like #2. i think US PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON is an attention grabber and i like how Critter personalizes it by asking, does it scare you? it scares us. referring to us, it will make readers want to know who us is. i think the ad does two things which is our goal. it advertizes Ron Paul and Freedom4um both.
#532. To: christine (#531)
The commentator from Iowa on "Meet the Press" just said Ron Paul could come in third in Iowa.
I've already said too much.
#533. To: MUDDOG (#532)
Obviously, his talking points will have to be adjusted.
just said Ron Paul could come in third in Iowa.
#534. To: critter (#514)
to follow up: 4. "A Real Conservative, a True American"
4. 'A True Conservative, a Real American'
#535. To: MUDDOG (#532)
The commentator missed by two. RP will come in 1st. hehehe
