I designed this flier based on another design of republicans. Then Heather did the graphic design. Thanks Heather. Feedback?

That looks great!

I'd need to find some more X's for Obama though. He's popular around here, and overall, his positions go over pretty well.... comments about invading Pakistan excluded.
 
how is this effective? Liberals want socialized medicine, amnesty, and gun control. I don't think those green checks are good for Dr. Paul if you're trying to appeal to liberals.
 
Instead of 'Against torturing enimies' it should read 'Against Torture'

enemies is spelt wrong too if you want to keep it.

and so is techniques



otherwise I think it looks good
 
If this is targeted for liberals, I would get delete "against socialized medicine." Many liberals are FOR socialized medicine.
 
If this is targeted for liberals, I would get rid of "against gun control laws." Many if not most liberals are for "gun control" laws.
 
It is designed for the college students. I just laid out the issues. Every other candidate likes to "spin". We are just laying out the facts.

Ill fix the misspellings.
 
If this is targeted for liberals I would get rid of "against McCain-Feingold." Most liberals seem to be for it, probably most voters do not even know what "McCain-Feingold" is, and I would think even a substantial percentage of conservatives also support McCain Feingold. Remember, McCain who was cosponsor is a Republican. I would just get rid of that line altogether.
 
REALLY nice!!! In fact, it's extraordinarily good.

Just a couple questions/suggestions here.

1. Aren't rows 5 and 6 basically the same thing? "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" is just "torture" translated into Newspeak.

2. "Socialized medicine" might be too contentious a term to use if the flier is done specifically with liberals in mind (I should know, 'cause I am one!). How about "Against government-run healthcare" or "Against subsidizing big pharma"?

3. A lot of folks may not know what "Real ID & EEVS" refers to. "Against a mandatory national ID card" keeps it simple for people who don't follow politics very closely, and sets up the position so that it's hard to find a reason to disagree with Dr. Paul on the issue.

4. I have to admit that I think McCain-Feingold is a great idea, as do most libs, so there's probably a better way to sell it to them.

How is limiting free speech a good thing?

You've got my puzzler puzzling over that one. I thought Mc-F was about public financing of elections, so that wealthy elites like Hillary have to compete in the marketplace of ideas just like commonfolk to win elections.
 
"Enimies" is the wrong spelling. IMO you should correct it before printing.

Also remove issues on which Ron is "worse" for the Democrat (like gun control). :)

I know I may be the exception rather than the rule, but the reason I left the Democratic Party was because of their stances on gun control and border security. The DLC types won't like it, but you'll do fine with the populist Byron-Dorgancrats.
 
i don't know what mccain-feingold is...

i kinda get the impression barack might be ok with a preemptive attack on iraq... wasn't there a video where gravel was getting on him about this?
torturing enemies/enhanced interrogation = redundant?
