New Ad Campaign - Do you own a gun?

Post by allingeneral »

I still have to get the wording just right, and I have to make up a banner or two...but here's what I'm thinking...

The NRA is working hard to help defeat Obama in the upcoming election because they know that the consequences could be dire if he gets a second term, and therefore doesn't care about getting re-elected. Just look at some of the things he's done in his first term to get a sense of how a second term might be!

So, in an effort to draw more people toward NRA to help fund the battle, I'm thinking like this...

--------
Do You Own a Gun?

Do You Support the Second Amendment?

Do You Want to Ensure That Obama Is Not Re-elected in November!? (cross-hairs on DC)

Click here to find out how!

I want it to be edgy - but not distasteful. *wink*

Try reading it without the part about the Second Amendment.

WRT the "(cross-hairs on DC)" part....

Personally, I disagree with putting any crosshair logos over a particular person/place/thing. I find it to be distasteful and think it helps antis show we're a bunch of crazy gun nuts looking to shoot anything we don't like. Just my opinion.

I'd leave the crosshairs out, who knows how it could be interpreted? I think these guys lack your sense of humor.

I'd actually leave out the "Do you own a gun?" line and concentrate on "Do you value your Constitutional Freedoms?" and then pick out one or two verifiable instances where the Obama Administration has curtailed those freedoms. End with; "Join the fight to make make Obama keep his promise to be a one term president, click here[\b]."

Just my thoughts.

"Let's help Obama keep his promise to be a one term President"
"Do you own and value your guns and freedom to use them?"
"If you are a gun owner you need to get involved in keeping them and you free"

A lot of ways to convey the message for sure,,,

The crosshairs are a figment of my imagination - not yet drawn.

If you do go with the cross hairs, just make sure Jared Loughner doesn't see it :roll:
