Obviously the final result will be just one pic- I had to break it up here for speed reasons. Post your thoughts.

There's an interesting dilemma with the fact that RP's supporters are opposed to the mainstream of both parties, yet we are dependent on the Republican Party for any chance at nomination and victory in the general election.

I'm not so sure I would take it to the Republicans by saying they and the Democrats are in reality cooperating to make themselves richer while pretending to opposing each other.

I'd word it in terms of the general politician in Washington doing such things without specifically saying both parties.
 
beautiful.

When will it run and how long?

Probably Wed, b4 Thanksgiving. They have the option to run it on Tues. but Tues was full, so unlikely.

It will be black and white.

National edition. All 50 states. Circulation 2mm++
 
I dont want to be a negative Nancy, but are Joe and Jane American REALLY going to read all that? It's way too cluttered. I feel like, unless you like Paul, you're going to see all the text and skip over it

It's very well put together, but it's not eye-catching and people will get bored after the first sentence
 
I'm buying several copies of that USA Today... in fact, that will be the secondary story put out in USA Today when we set a single day record sells day for them. ;)

I think it is worded perfectly. It is HONEST about what is going down.
 
That is truly a thing of beauty IMHO!!

My hat is off to Mr. Lepard for his dedication to freedom and liberty!!
 
I would urge you to state in the ad that Ron Paul is running in the Republican primaries, since it seems that a lot of people still do not know who he is. I guess in that regard, you might want to consider removing the lines regarding the 2 party system.

At any rate, great thing for you to do....thanks!

The Founding Fathers bit is really presumptuous. Had I not heard of Ron Paul, I wouldn't bother to read far enough down to get to his positions because I don't have much respect for people who use timeless icons like the Founding Fathers (or 9/11 or...) as a mere political weapon with lofty insistance that they would be endorsed were they alive today.

I think Ron Paul's message is strong enough that we don't need to resort to something like this.
 
I would take out the part about 2 political parties. It sounds like something a 3rd party candidate would say

Agreed, can we order this direct from USA Today's website?
