Idea for PRO LIFE Advertisement for 2008 election

[pathansen]

We see billboards everywhere, esp. along state hwys in the rural areas. Why not encourage some group to put up a more realistic, comprehensive and truthful PRO LIFE advertisement such as the following:

SUPPORT PRO LIFE!


Support ENDING THE WAR - War is death, not life

Support UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE - Saves many lives

Support ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - Saves many lives

Support HELPING THE NEEDY, NOT THE GREEDY - Saves many lives

Support GUN CONTROL - Guns are death, not life

Support THE BORN CHILDREN - Saves many lives

And finally, Support STOPPING GLOBAL WARMING BEFORE THE WHOLE PLANET DIES!

1. A lot of words

That's a lot of words for a billboard where people are driving by at 70 mph! LOL

[pathansen]

2. Well, maybe, but there's a lot to say

Someone could reduce it a bit.

3. Thats a series of billboards

A new one each month starting in April and going through to October.

4. What about an advertisement, instead, like NYT or something?

However, some drivers might get the general idea with just one billboard.

5. Please drop the prop for the "We'll take yer guns" meme...

Support GUN CONTROL - Guns are death, not life

Please drop the prop for the "We'll take yer guns" meme...

A whole bunch of Dems and indies disagree with that premise; around one in four registered Dems personally owns a gun, mostly guns NOT used for hunting, and half of gun owners are Dems and indies. Which is why bans on nonhunting guns were such a loser in '94, '00, and '04.
