Hightimes Full Page Ad?

[fortilite]

It will be $3600. The deadline for this issue is FRIDAY. Should we do this? I think most of these guys can get behind Ron Paul. Can someone who has experience making ads and dealing with chippin take charge? I don't want to mess it up. :o

We'll need an ad made and proof immediately if we want in on the next issue.

Here are the tech requirements:

This is the biggest magazine on the subject, I think it's a great opportunity. Also it's monthly so the ad will be in there for the whole month. Great price I think.

EXCELLENT IDEA!!!

the war on drugs was the main issue that gravitated me toward Dr. Paul i think a Hightimes ad could appeal to many cannabis users seeking change in the law, then again i could see the MSM putting a horrific spin on this....

 

[adwads]

good idea

 

[fortilite]

Also forgot to mention, this is a color ad! A full page, color ad in a monthly magazine which is highly targeted! I'm in contact with the ad man, all we need is a person to design the ad today / tomorrow and someone to do chippin. I can do the chippin part if no one steps forward but no way can I do the ad.

Wait, I'll look through my jpgs for the pic of Ron rolling a mighty doob.

I think if you place an ad in this magazine, it should be rather serious- not some doob.

Someone here made a club flyer that might work well as an ad:

Can you take charge of posting in the appropriate forums here in terms of projects ect?

Run with it, there's a lot of promotion to do to get it going.

I can handle the FEC legal end in terms of donations/chipin through my church, but I can't do it all, I've got too much to do already.

It's your idea, find the appropriate people to get the ad together, ask for donors ect.

Email me through my profile when you have it going.

Help clean up / improve this intro paragraph:

10 term Congressman Ron Paul is the only major Presidential candidate to oppose the war on drugs. Although opposed to Marijuana on a personal level, he feels it is not the job of the government to make personal choices for citizens. Congressman Ron Paul believes that if an individual wants to use Marijuana it is that person's Constitutional right. As a strict constitutionalist, Ron Paul would bring in Supreme Court judges who recognize that the war on drugs violates the 10th Amendment of the Constitution.

User: McDermit's girlfriend created that flyer. Maybe he can talk her into helping out with this ad.

For 3600.00 what is the ad placement? Page#'s.

 

[fortilite]

Here are some talking points to grab attention:

Ron Paul voted for the legalization of hemp!

Voted 'No' on subjecting federal employees to random drug tests!

Sponsored these States Rights To Medical Marijuana Act!

Believes that the federal government does not have the constitutional right to regulate drugs!

Not only supports decriminalization, but full legalization!

 

[fortilite]

I'll find out the page #, circulation #'s, etc. I have a feeling since we are getting down to the wire we won't have a lot of say in page # but high times seems to like us so we might do well.

 

[fortilite]

And for the call to action summary:

If we want full legalization of Marijuana, we will need the Supreme Court on our side. As President, Ron Paul will only nominate judges who recognize the full scope of the 10th amendment. Ron Paul will work tirelessly to end the illegal and unconstitutional war on drugs. This is our opportunity, do not let it pass us by.
