nothing too complex (for the simple minded)

big letters, full page...

WE DON'T TRUST YOU GEORGE

... NOT WITH THE ECONOMY

... NOT WITH THE TREASURY

... NOT WITH OUR CHILDREN'S LIVES

(insert picture of George getting kissy face with the Sultan from a while back,
or the one with them holding hands)

... AND WE SURE DON'T TRUST YOU WITH OUR PORTS.

1. newspaper ads
just aren't very affective. Few people read them and you need a continuous buy to make any dent in public opinion.

3. About a year ago, the issue of DU advertising was raised, and
the management of DU said they don't want to because if they raised money for ads, then people might not donate during the pledge drive.
