Something easy to print and distribute (supermarkets, parking lots, etc.)
I developed a "sticker" that you easily print out sheets of
on your printer at home. A friend here at DU just finished printing a page full to take to a luncheon tomorrow. If everyone would just pass them out this weekend we would be way ahead. It's catchy, it's easy to print, it's right to the point.

41. Same here. Good work.
OOooh, I'll get to start putting it out on Sunday (my shopping/errand day). That'll be fun, in my city.

3. EXCELLENT!
I'm taking this idea and making my own, slightly smaller. It can be laid out on 33-up labels (33 per page) and STUCK on the handles of shopping carts, etc. Mind you, it cannot be taken home and will be often scrubbed off, but this way it might achieve the highest visability... the MORE the better. :)

4. Brilliant!! It's a Palm Paper- fits right in your hand!!!


I finished printing 50 of them in less than 5 minutes.

Let's keep this kicked and check in with the results.

Absolute dynamite BigBearJohn!

You have just invented the DU TIMES! :bounce:

5. Great!
I will resize to fit sticker sheets. I made stickers during the campaign and "distributed" them. ;)

Thanks!

With all the creative minds at work on DU, I can't even imagine how this "fair and balanced" little Palm Paper will make the rounds this weekend.:toast:

6. Good idea.
We need to literally bombard people with the facts. I am running errands tomorrow so I can spread some around. Someone is bound to start thinking outside their protective sphere if they see facts like this often enough.

8. How about combining it with this:

Emad Hajjaj, Al-Ghad Newspaper, Amman, Jordan


Peace.

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - How ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq, and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."

9. And don't forget your mail
Stick them on the back of every envelope you send out. Billing clerks have dull jobs--brighten their day with a little education.

14. It is the coolest and really doesn't use much ink


That is one of the beauties of this format.

It brings a glow to my face to see so many creative ideas in such a short time.

Keep this kicked all night and get the printers rolling!:bounce:

16. I LOVE Conyers but I'm tempted to use 'afterdowningstreet.org' instead?
Most Texans are SOOOO conservative. I think 'afterdowningstreet.org' might have a better impact with the middle-of-the-roaders here..?
May I edit it?
Or perhaps I can try to fit both?

21. This is excellent! It's BEING THE MEDIA, which is what we have to do
since the professional corporate media is complicit. Let's hope they smell the smoke and start to leave the ship before it sinks.

25. We Are The TRUTH PRESS


And the TRUTH shall set us free!

The interesting point about the Bushco Gang is that they spin LIES all day long.

All we want to do is get the TRUTH out to the America people.
We have given the MSM far too long to tell the TRUTH to us, now it's our turn.
Let's Sing: " Tell The TRUTH da da da da da da
Tellll the TRUTH, da da da da da da"

At last

33. This is excellent!
I was able to fit 12 of them on a page. They're the perfect size to slip under a wiper blade. Hmmmm...do I have some grocery shopping to do today? I think I just might keep a supply of these on hand.
Thanks! These will come in mighty handy!

40. Great!
Also, if you are at a place where you can't use stickers, perhpas small pieces of paper.

I put the # of war dead and wounded (Americans and iraqi civilians), the days since * declared to find bin lAden and the number of military funerals attended by bush/cheney 0 on one side and www.downingstreetmemo.com on the other. I leave these everywhere!

But I'll give this another nomination and a big :kick:

EVERY DU'er should print out at least 100 and pass out ASAP.

They're small. Just pass them out as you do your errands. Simple.

When I use the washroom at work I leave a few on the counter.

and it will draw more into the link, imo.

50. I've been doing the shopping list on printed info
from the sites with real news and leaving them in the cart. I used 'wounded in Iraq and then mistreated at home', for Memorial day. I'd like to go to postal instant press and make enough fliers to do an air-drop, by god!
