The full page ad commissioned by Lawrence Lepard is complete and is set to appear in USA Today on Wednesday November 21st with a right hand placement in the first section- NEWS. The word is that USA Today was willing to do this ad because it was a grassroots effort, amazing.

The concept for the ad was originally developed by "max" here at RonPaulForums.com and tailored based on Lawrence's wishes from hundreds of comments from forum members in an open source ad development methodology.

Lawrence passes on his thanks for everyone who provided input but please hold your critical comments in this thread as it will do no good.

This is an amazing American story, please share it.

A PDF of the ad is available now and free for anyone to use. If you use this ad with changes be sure to remove Lawrence's and Linda's name.

The PDF is here (someone please rehost this):

Great effort. Not a fan.

[InTheoryTV]

Thank you! That goes for everyone involved. A truly grass root effort online, a like of I have never seen before.

I read the ad and printed myself a copy of it.

The day this runs, people with web sites need to blog about it and get the fact out, how this ad was made. Get the story picked up by other media... hey and maybe free advertisement.

I'm all smiles from ear to ear.

[llepard]

you misspelled 'President'.

My heart skipped three beats. Lord Xar, you da man.

Strength and Honor.

That is my new greeting for all RP supporters.
