That's a great piece of work. We need more creations that directly compare Ron Paul's attributes with the opposition. We can beat them on multiple issues without exaggeration or deceit.

We did a small one inside as well:

I think Ron Paul *would* accept money from lobbyists tho, if they were dumb enough to give it to him thinking they were buying something.

Get that straight because some good lobbyists (like MPP) should eventually be giving RP some money... because they support what he already stands for.

Very impressive. I'd like to learn more about "bundlers."

:D If we could get this ad to all the newspapers across the US we'd win in a landslide! :D

YIKES !!!!

"White house for sale" with a big picture of Ron next to it?!?! Bad, bad, bad. Most people are going to only remember those two things, i'd wager.

Edit: is anyone else seeing a bunch of missing text in those ads?

That is one kickass flyer!

Has anyone submitted this to Digg yet? What would be a good title? Maybe "Who is the People's Candidate"?

Get that Ad out EVERYWHERE.

That is the BEST print Ad I've ever seen.

THAT ad will get NEW voters in.

Can anyone get it in other newspapers in Iowa (probably too late)
New Hampshire? South Carolina?

That's a nice ad. How many people read the local paper?

It's a small paper - 2500 circulation.

We have the backside of the flyer with this:

Excellent AD...great job. If I could offer only one comment, it might be to change the color of Ron Pauls "0" to something other than black to make it stand out more. I did not see this right away and a lot of people looking may give it a quick glance as this is how ads often work. If this were in RED, for instance, the contrast would really POP to the eye and bring them into focus. Of course this will not work if the AD is done only in black, but thought I would offer constructive help anyway!

Thanks for the work and efforts. I really appreciate it and I speak for my wife and kids who do as well!

Fantastic!!!! I would add "Fed. Matching Funds". Your tax $$ at work!:)

Matching funds do not come from forced tax dollars. Rather, they come from voluntary contributions when one does their income tax returns and checks the box agreeing to donate an extra $3.00 for this sole purpose.

These ads are all black and white, as color was too expensive. The insert is being printed right now on a photocopier - cost just $122 for 2 sided copy on 2500 sheets. All are available in editable format - Adobe Illustrator - pm me if you'd like a copy to edit for your locality. The flyer will also work well to take door to door with Slim jims etc.

I stand corrected! But it beggs the question as to why were not utilizing this in the campaign?

Thanks

The short ad I did, I wish now I had combined into the flyer esp the stunning streak of wins at Straw Polls in the last 12 weeks. This is powerful information that is very cheap to place in small newspapers ads:

Since October 1st 2007
Ron Paul has:
• over 247,000 donors
• average donation size $76
• raised nearly $19 million in total
• Won 16 out of 20 Republican Straw Polls

Wow! That's great!

I wish I would've had it to put in with my handwritten Iowa letters...Now I'm doing Michigan letters, and wonder if anyone could re-do the bottom section to make it appropriate for the Michigan primary?

No Problem - am happy to do that! I have sent 2 people these ads now in editable format.

I made a black and white version. Downloads faster and copies cheaply. $79 for 2500 at our local copy shop - find a high volume machine and you should get a good price. I changed the action step and added the straw polls results as well. PM me your email address if you want an editable copy.
