Here is my entry for those who wish to see:
I decided that the reader who we will be trying to reach will not be interested in reading about politics while reading in high times. Therefore, I have taken a bit of a different approach for getting the reader's attention.
Feedback is welcome.
Wow this is the best one by FAR!!! You have to realize that a lot of readers love to read the magazine just for the amazing pictures of bud, and that picture would definitely catch your attention.
Trust me I'm a stoner, I'd know.
I've noticed it's very effective, once you're done designing are in the fundraising phase, to start a new thread and include in the title:
1) the fundraising goal
2) what percentage has been raised so far
3) the due date
Something like "High Times ad currently 52% to $2k - needed by Thu Dec 13".

Did one of those at your advice, I'll do another when I get home from work. Today has been a good day for donations so far.

Our magazine, Cannabis Culture, prints approximately 66,000 copies with a mostly-American audience. Our website is also frequented by US citizens -- www.CannabisCulture.com -- as are our MySpace and Facebook accounts, with thousands of fans and friends.
Cannabis Culture Magazine has been promoting Ron Paul since 2006 when the publisher and editor Marc Emery (my husband) analyzed every voting record of all US Representatives for issue #62's "Voter's Guide" and RON PAUL came out on top. Marc Emery has been a fan and follower of Ron Paul since the 1980s, and since 2006 we've featured Ron Paul promotions regularly.
The next issue of our magazine, #69 (out in mid-January) has me on the cover looking quite lovely (I'm already the "Ron Paul - Liberty Turns Me On" girl you may have seen online, the brunette in the white bikini) with a 2x5-inch RON PAUL promotion in the bottom left corner of the cover including Ron Paul's face, name, website, and 6 reasons for our audience to vote for Ron Paul.
We also have a centerfold in the same issue saying "RON PAUL - President 2008 - Champion of the Constitution" with 3 web addresses: RonPaul2008.com, DailyPaul.com, and RonPaulRadio.com. The poster can be used anywhere, and doesn't have pot leafs on it. Great for everyone to use.
In issue #62 we had the voter guide. Ron Paul got heavy promotion for being the best Representative for freedom, liberty, peace, and ending the War on Drugs (which was a prelude to the War on Terror). That in-depth analysis, which Marc spent months creating, is available at our website: http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/4806.html
Issue #65 was out all-activist issue and featured the article "For the Presidency of the United States", which offered insight into Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich (to have both a Republican and Democrat endorsed). You can find that article on our website too: http://cannabisculture.com/articles/4910.html
Issue #67's Letter From the Editor (by Marc) endorsed Ron Paul heavily, and the photo was Marc in his popular Ron Paul Revolution shirt holding his "Prince of Pot" bong. That issue's cover also had www.RonPaul2008.com as the little "quote" next to the bar code, which we always switch up.
Issue #68, our currently-on-stands issue, has an article called "Your Next President On Drugs" and looks at every candidate's stance on the drug war, medical marijuana, hemp, etc. -- and of course, Ron Paul is the star of the show. That article can be seen at our website too, along with collected YouTube videos of every candidate commenting on drugs/marijuana. http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/5101.html
So.... I don't know if High Times supports Ron Paul, but they'll certainly take money -- they take money from anyone and everyone, even questionable sources... (the notoriously dubious fake bud ads from "International Oddities" litter every few pages, ads we refuse to take no matter how much money it might give us). Marc and I control our magazine and oversee every aspect of it -- we have only 5 employees, and very high standards! -- and that's why Ron Paul gets extreme promotion from us for free.
Hundreds of people have registered Republican, joined Ron Paul's campaign, donated money to him, turn into Ron Paulites like us, and done evem more because of our efforts. They write to Marc and I daily, letting us know that they found out about Ron Paul through us, online or in CC magazine, or at www.Pot.tv or in person, or at our very popular store (Marc Emery's Cannabis Culture Headquarters) in downtown Vancouver... or even through our Vancouver Meet-Up group!
Marc and I also have a radio show on RonPaulRadio.com and currently we have an offer circulating for people who donate to Ron Paul -- they can get free personalized autographed centerfolds and posters of me and/or Marc (1: my famous CC centerfold, or 2: my "Liberty Turns Me On" Ron Paul promotion; or 3: Marc's Revolution-shirt picture) ... just email [email protected] with the confirmation email, your name and mailing address.
RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!
Oh, and for other Ron Paul & Marc Emery info... read the Seattle Weekly News article from a while ago... it's promotion, one way or another! http://cannabisculture.com/articles/5045.html
Marc is a friend of Lew Rockwell, because Marc has been one of Canada's only leading Libertarian advocates, ever since he was a fan of Ron Paul. Read these Lew Rockwell website articles about Marc: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig5/cust3.html and http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig5/cust2.html
Also.... just one last little note... The recent Ron Paul article in Rolling Stone magazine was written by Tim Dickenson, who wroite about Marc Emery years ago. Marc contacted Dickenson after a previous article had said "all GOP candidates are for the Iraq war", encouraging Dickenson to take a closer look at Ron Paul. Dickenson later produced that excellent article; and though I imagine many others let him know that Ron Paul exists, Marc has a personal relationship with that journalist -- as Marc has been a media magnet since he was 17 -- and it seems to have had some good impact.
