Again, thanks to all who helped on this and offered suggestions.
We are final. The New York Times just informed me there is a good chance this will run on this Wed. Dec.26 or Thur. Dec.27.
The ad is pretty much the same as the ones that were posted earlier. Typos have been cleaned up and language improved ever so slightly.

Thanks Mark.
The easiest way to read this is to print it out is to go to the FILE drop down, Hit PRINT, then select PAGE Scaling: Tile Large Pages. It comes out in 4 pages. Cut and paste and you have a great full page adv.
Also, there is text in the lower right hand corner crediting Linda Lagana (graphics artist), John Barr (my best friend and a diehard RP supporter) and all of you on ronpaulforums.com. You know who you are.
I said it before and I will say it again. The beauty of this piece is the message. I did not conceive of the message. God did and Dr. Paul carries the message. I am just a guy who wants to be heard if it will make a difference. I have been blessed with economic success, with a toss of a coin it could just as easily have gone the other way and giving back for this cause is the least I can do. I wish I could do more.
We have named the piece Common Sense 2.0. It was me3 here on the forum who recommended that. Brilliant idea. Perhaps the name is immodest because we are not Thomas Paine, but the message is a common sense type message. Also, whoever recommended making it a cut out with scissors, PM me. Brilliant idea.
The only real criticism we have received is that it is kind of "preachy". I suppose it is. I am an old fashioned in that way. I assure you though that I am plenty flawed and like all Christians i need help on a regular basis. I am flawed. But this message is not. I think that is why it resonates with many people.
Please do what you can to spread this message. The advertisement is complete "open source". Reprint it, publish it, email it, ask your friends, "have you read Common Sense 2.0?" Let's make it ubiquitous. Let's creat a fad. Why can't this be something everyone in the U.S. hears about?
I know I am being immodest here, please give me some slack.
Thanks to all, may god or whatever higher power you believe in bless and protect you.
