I really need a reference on the signers. Is there a way to get that information?

You don't happen to have a pic showing it in the context of the entire newspaper, do you?

It's a full page ad.

Yeah I knew that, I was wondering what was on the other page.

There needs to be news on the adjacent page. People flip right past ad sections otherwise. If fact, often full-page ads are less effective than smaller ads, so long as you have articles sharing the page.

I think a cartoon would have been more effective... Not many people will read such a long ad...especially if it's all text.

Well the ad is for the politicians, not average people

that's why it's in the Washington Times

Keep in mind though, that this is the same Congress that no longer reads bills before voting on them.

Personally, I think the next ad needs to something that requires the use of crayons.

It's a nicely written letter but I'm not as impressed by the typefaces used. Futura and especially Courier don't suit the message in my opinion.

There is apparently research behind using serif typeface; it is easier to read and people are more likely to read it.

Personally, the aesthetics are less than favorable... and apparently I'm not the only one.
