Graphic artists! I need a flyer with pic of Rove and text of his comments

[DesEtoiles]

I'm giving my Senator, Gordon Smith, until Wednesday of next week to issue either a public condemnation of Rove's remarks, or to send me a letter which includes the condemnation (which I will publish on the internet).

If he does not, I will spend next Saturday at Portland Saturday market, where I will distribute thousounds of said flyers, with Smith's phone and e-mail.

This will continue until Smith does the right thing.

I will also include statistics of the number of fine blue-state-Oregonion guardsmen who have died in these two wars (more, I believe, than any other state).

I will open up PR whoop-ass the likes of which Mr. Smith has never seen.

1. You Go Girl

I wrote to him today. Told him we were all part of the Northwest (since I'm from WA) and since he finally condemned lynching, I expected him to comdemn partisian slander, too. I'll keep writing.

3. Here's a little something.

Just a preliminary sketch. If you can provide Mr. Smith's contact info, I can add that and output a print-quality PDF. I'm not crazy about the text inside his head, but it was empty, and its emptiness was too distracting.



This was the only semi-large photo of turd-blossom that I had ready to hand. I have the unaltered original on another computer, so I can take that hole out of his head if need be.

The following file is a web-only PDF (low resolution, 351k).

8. Replace the words hate and fear with images of war

images of war in his head would be just about right....

10. Even better would be Nazi imagery.

11. Suggestion: Add comments or quotes to make clear why

Rove's remark is offensive:

He is discounting the sacrifice made by troops who are Democrats who are fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan because they were told that these countries were responsible for 9/11.

The quote is (obviously) design to divide: Colin Powell argued after 9/11 that the US ought to use international law to indict bin Laden and bring Al Qaeda to justice. Also, understanding the enemy is the first step to defeating them.

Also - check out this well-referenced 'quiz' posted by MrBenchley:

It's a different file:

I took out the 'fear' stuff and put in a bit of perspective on who Rove is condemning. I may make a third version.

13. excellent. Kinko's here I come.

thank you!

[DesEtoiles]

14. Oh, and I will probably diary this flyer on dkos - I need a lot of calls

to go into Smith's office.

15. You're welcome!

Sorry it wasn't spiffier, but I only had the one photo on hand. It's nice to do something different than the ads I build all week long.
