Running an Ad in the NY Times for Recent Recall... Who Wants to Pitch in?

[Jer]

I have my doubts that NYT is actually going to accept such an ad at any price.

The Denver Post has refused or jacked the price out of touch on this type of thing before and don't see NYT being much different.

This is kind of what I was thinking too.

I would do something that tells NY gun owners to follow Colorado's lead and kick them out.

I wonder if you could find an independent print shop to print up flyers and then pay people to hand them out? No way to block that and you'll get more bang for your buck. No pun intended.

This is kind of what I was thinking too.

Do all the prep work, then let social media take over, keep spreading around til it grows legs and goes viral. If such a hot topic as this goes viral, it will get natl. attention and be reported on. No need to actually buy ad space, just make everybody think so.

Waste of resources in my opinion but go for it if you wish.

You would probably get more views just posting it on craigslist.

IDK, I have a hard time giving money to a liberal rag that's done absolutely everything they can to go against us at every turn, especially when they will probably twist it up before they print it, or just kick it back anyway. The money would be better spent going after the next A-hole on the list for recall IMO. If we can get together and keep going, recalling more political whores, that will give them a MUCH bigger F-You, gain more support and attention, and be overall much more productive to the cause than any full page add in a rag like the NYT. Not to mention help to continue to drain their political funds. Hell look how much they spent losing this time around.

I just zipped up my flame suit so here goes:

Would the $256 be better spent via one of the organizations fighting to retain 2A rights instead of a 'nanny-nanny-boo-boo' ad that will do little other than energize the anti-2A crowd to turn up to the polls if a recall occurs in the future?

OK, crawling into hole while wearing flame suit....

^^^^ this
As much as we would love to go:"Nana nana boo boo, you got it in the poo poo" we are best suited gearing up for the big fight in '14.

Real winners win with dignity and grace.
We let our ballots speak and they spoke loud and clear.
No need to say more.

I'm with these three.
It isn't being polite. Not taunting is not riling up their base.
It is saving for our next battle.
That's just my personal opinion as well.

No on obituary. Use Hickenloopers office number for the funeral home.


I'm in for $20

[Aloha_Shooter]

I prefer:

First Name: Stalinist
Last Name: Totalitarianism
Date of Death: Sep 10, 2013
Funeral Home: Bloomberg Agenda
Funeral Home Ph Number: 1-888-328-7448

They spit on the foundations of democracy, lied about what they did and who opposed them, tried to steal their way to victory, outspent their opponents 8:1, AND STILL LOST. Coloradans are taking their state back. In lieu of flowers, Colorado requests donations to the freedom-loving organizations that rid the state of Morse and Giron. Molon Labe.

Oh yeah, and I'm in for $50 but put it in the NY Post ... no money to the NY Times.

I'm in for 25 I'm sure Dudley has wasted more of our money then this ad costs
