Can someone make signs of Ron with the baby in the flag?

[Adamsa]

If crowds of people waving these doesn't get positive attention, I don't know what will.

bump

 

[Antonius Stone]

that is one of the most beautiful images i've ever seen... but if I could add something, I would make it look like RP is delivering baby America to Lady Liberty

 

[RSLudlum]

Very good artwork but wouldn't it be more appropriate to have him helping an infant take it's first steps holding one hand??

 

[rory096]

Um, this violates the Flag Code.

 

[dougkeenan]

Yet Dr. Paul has delivered more babies than raised them.

 

[t3rmin]

We need a whole series of these with the above mentioned ideas! ;-)

 

[Jordan]

How does a piece of art violate the flag code?

Here's a well phrased retort to that claim.

Staples has a special going now. You can get an 18 " x 24" on foamboard for $10. Email the picture to them. The email has to be the high resolution picture. To do that you need to "save as" the picture to your computer. Then attach the picture to your email as an attachment. (At first I just "copied and pasted" the picture within the email and that is not a high enough resolution. It was very blurry enlarged.) I also " saved as" from the original site. www.acmwallet.com/ronpaul/
Staples referred to this special as a holiday special so I don't know how long it will last.
As an 18" x 24" print it is just awesome.
And yes, the artist/her father has given her consent to use the picture by calling it public domain. This IMO was an exceptionally kind act...a special gift to us all.

The painting itself might not (not sure how that works), but the flag isn't supposed to be used as clothing. As for saying "fuck it," sure, you can do that, but that doesn't change the fact that it can alienate people.

 

[dougkeenan]

That particular flag is not clothing, it's a symbol that Dr. Paul attends the rebirth of liberty.

Are you alienated by babies? I think any affront is overestimated.

 

[Haywood1974]

you can fix the blurriness, somewhat, by photoshopping it....version CS has a feature called "smart object" that should allow you to adjust the resolution up as well as resizing it......my guess is that the original JPG was done at 72 dpi while something for a good print run would be 300 dpi....if you need help with it, PM me and I'll shoot you my e-mail address and I'll see what I can do for you....should only be abot a 5 minute fix

 

[Adamsa]

So, does this break "the law" or not?

 

[dougkeenan]

It does not. The artist donated her work and it's now in the public domain.

 

[Adamsa]

Excellent.

 

[NewEnd]

excellent idea
That painting doesn't do much for me, but I get the feeling it can make an impact.

Tell that to Jim Craig of the 1980 U.S.A. gold medal hockey team. He wore it draped over him after they won. Nothing looked more patriotic.

Laws are laws, we dont care what you may happen to think about it. I happen to know a few people in the military who take it personally when a flag isn't displayed correctly.

We want to appeal to people, not immediately turn them off to the cause.

Oh no it violates optional, voluntary, unenforced laws? OH NO!!!!!

The only people this would upset would be flag waving jingoists who are all voting for Giuliani because "He goan keep amerkuh safe from da terrists"

Not exactly the target demographic
