--- STATUS CHANGE ---
BrendanWenzel has taken over this project and is setting up a Wiki and will be announcing the resource site when complete. I have removed the Wiki from my site as duplication seems like a bad idea to me.
--------------------------------------
Several projects are in process by the grassroots. To make them easier and to present a more consistent message we could really use some resources. While collusion is not allowed... having general materials available would make these tasks easier and more effective.
Printed Materials... The official website has a shop with loads of stuff available for purchase. This is good. But, any purchase is counted against the purchasers contribution limit.
Suggestion: Make the collateral material available in a high resolution PDF file suitable for reprinting. They could be used when someone needs to print something quickly to disburse. Many of us have good quality color printers and this would make the materials available to a wider audience. As a free download it would also not impact potential donations and the costs to the campaign could potentially be less (reduced printing costs) while still getting the materials out to the public.
Resource Materials... Grassroots projects are often in need of high quality graphic materials and they can be difficult to locate.
Suggestion: Have a free, downloadable resource section with pictures and logos, etc. (vector please). This way we could choose from materials acceptable to the official campaign for use on grassroots projects. It would save time (no reinventing the wheel) and allow for grassroots projects that support the direction and message of the official campaign.
