Decide which ad we are doing because this might directly effect whether or not someone wants to donate.

You can't ask for money and then in the middle decide to change the ad completely.

Personally I don't like the black and red ad. It might look "cool", but it's not professional.

 

[Esor]

I like both ads and I see what everyone is saying. I think the second ad would attract more people than the first, but the first looks more professional. I will let you folks to work out more of the details because I think both would work fine. I plan on donating as well.

I like the first ad, but I think "End the War on Drugs" should be in large capital letters at the top, and then "Vote Ron Paul for President" should be moved down in its place. We need to capture people's attention. Oh yeah, and you are not supposed to start a sentence with a number, so spell out ten.

The second ad looks nice bu it does not grab your attention and the message is not clear. You have to read several sentences to figure out what that ad is for which is not good.

And I think the concept of this ad which I modified last night has potential as well.

Birdlady, I think an ad with some character is ok in high times.

Let us make it real pretty i say, make it hit the spot, give it an overall message and vibe that potheads can really feel, intellectually. =)

Theres a difference between "professional" and "traditional".

Dont forget where it is going...

I don't believe he wants to legalize marijuana. He wants the Federal Government out of the regulation of drugs. He wants the states to decide. that is a big difference.. better reword. He is being quoted from a Federal Government point of view.

So, from a federal gov point of view, Ron wants to legalize weed. He's running for President, not mayor or governor.

At the Federal Government level - It is about decriminalization, not legalization

I know but people said I should put it there.

Gees people, make up your minds?!?

Vote thread please!!!! I can alter the words at the last minute If mine is picked.

I just don't think its fair that the other add (which is nice) got picked without a vote after I won the last vote.

 

[tamor]

He wants the Fed Gov to have nothing to do with the laws governing drugs -- He wants the states to make these decisions.

 

[1913_to_2008]

Put Legalize! He is for the states deciding but, he says "people should be able to do what they want" LEGALIZE IT

 

[OferNave]

I put in $50. Don't care which ad you use, just pick one and get on with raising the $3600.

It's not about character, it is about being professional. Wording needs to be perfect, spelling needs checked, facts and quotes need to be checked and sourced.

Count me out on this one. Good luck.

Do you think all these adds I am posted are the FINAL one thats going to be sent to be published?!?

When a final draft is made, its made in higher quality and put into a file format that the magazine accepts. All final changes and fix's are made at THIS time.

Gees.

Wrong.

Washington, DC -- For the second time since the federal government outlawed hemp farming in the United States, a federal bill has been introduced that would remove restrictions on the cultivation of non-psychoactive industrial hemp. The chief sponsor of H.R. 1009, the "Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2007," is Representative Ron Paul (R-TX).

HEMP=CANNABIS=MARIJUANA
Same plant, different names.
