KeepAndBearArms.com is going to run a full page ad in USA Today before the Presidential election. How would you like to help design the ad?

If you could speak to millions of Americans one simple message through the largest newspaper circulation in North America on the gun issue, what would YOU say? How would you present it?

There are so many talented people in this nation who love the dream of American Liberty and hunger to put a Constitutional Republic back into existence. Who will come up with the best ad to place in USA Today? You? Someone you know?

Here is your chance to help develop a message to millions of people. Please begin by helping us deal with the extra flood of emails by following the instructions below precisely as requested. We're choosing to be efficient as we take on one more task, and your assistance to that end is greatly appreciated. The detailed and clear submission requirements are a necessity:

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES -- Due by September 30th

  1. The ad must fit on an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper and be spacious. A lengthy, cluttered look is less likely to be read in this soundbite-programmed society.

  2. ONLY complete, polished ads or one-liner ideas will be accepted. Please do not send us a novel on the concept of advertising. If you submit one line ideas, such as, "Requiring a woman to submit to rape is in itself an act of brutality", they will be considered as a part of the total ad. 79 paragraphs venting about the woes of the current media bias will be considered as an article for publication (if the writing is polished, edited, and ready for publication), but will not even get read as a part of THIS project.

  3. If your ad has graphics in it, please make sure they print out well in black and white. USA Today charges an arm, a leg and your two front teeth for ads as it is; color doubles the cost, so we're going black and white.

  4. The ad must contain KeepAndBearArms.com, Gun Owners Home Page prominently in the lower half of the ad and preferably at the bottom. This ad is about the message, but we want people to know where to find more information. We're also exploring what other groups to support with this ad, as well, and will likely use the space to help a few other groups who couldn't come up with this kind of cash on their own.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR AD

We will receive submissions only at one email address: USAToday@KeepAndBearArms.com. The below instructions are to save us time and assure that your submission ideas/ads are considered, so PAY ATTENTION, PLEASE. :-)

  1. Acceptable formats for ads are: MS Word (.doc), Adobe Acrobat (.pdf), html, Adobe Photoshop for a PC (.psd), or as text in an email. Only black and white images or those which print WELL in black and white will be considered.

  2. If you or the person you know who is creating the ad is accustomed to using a different program we don't use, we will have to see the ad printed and it will thus need to be mailed to: KeepAndBearArms.com 3116 E. Shea Blvd., Box 197 Phoenix, AZ 85028. If you choose this route, please stick a $3.20 priority mail stamp on it and include your email address, your phone number, and the type of program you used to create the ad.

  3. If you are sending a completed ad or the recommended text for a completed ad, please use the email subject of KABA COMPLETED AD. If you are sending a one-liner you'd like to see used, please use the email subject of KABA AD BULLET ITEM.

All ads submitted will also be made available to KeepAndBearArms.com members and site visitors to download, print out and hand out to their friends, at gun shows, shooting ranges, and everywhere else, so we also request that we get to put these ads to good use in other forms, as well.

DONATE TO HELP WITH THE AD

We're nearly done with our paperwork for the 501(c)(3) filing to please the Infernal Ripoff Service. Our .org site will be revamped before or once we're "approved", and these donations are expected to be fully tax deductible. Click here to give to this campaign. Considering we've already had over $40,000 pledged, we expect we'll pull in the rest in plenty of time to get this ad placed BEFORE Gore goes home crying after losing his bid for the White House.
