Everybody complains about the Bush administration, but not enough people do anything about it.

We have the will to do something about is, and we have the numbers to end the current regime.

The Bush Administration record, itself, is our strongest tool of persuasion.

All we need to deliver, on Nov 2, 2004, are the votes of every single individual who currently feels disenfranchised by our Government

Graphics to consider - Graphics 1, 2, 3 and 4 (top to bottom, left to right)

These 3 graphics are really the same graphic, only shown in 3 different resolutions

Evict Bush

Democrats in
the White House '04

Mayflower Movers !!

Call the White House
and give them a quote
for DC to Crawford TX
Move of Household Goods

NOTE: The last graphic, # 4, is 'customizable' - the TEXT - white on blue, on top and on the bottom, are NOT part of the graphics, and can therefore be varied to fit your individual message.

Graphics # 5, 6 and 7

These graphics are quite small - 14KB - the first column show them as SQUARE graphics (best displayed in a frame environment) In the second column they are GIF's with the black background removed, so that they appear as circular BUTTONS without a background

A conceptual graphic, # 8, by Paul

Restore Democracy
2004

Send Bush Back to Texas
We Will Happily Move Out

Composite 'poster' by DixieChicks, with some touching up by Paul

By Cowboy Kahlil of The Hitchin' Post

Colin did a nice job creating the graphics. I think there are two issue here.

First, let us agree on the theme

Secondly, let us agree on the graphic composition.

I like a theme like Restore People's Democracy to the United States

As for graphic composition, then I am in a quandry here. Since Colin used an actual representation of the US flag, with its 13 stripes, and placed text along individual stripes, the lettering gets kind'a small, and there is a large area of 'white space' [untexted] in the middle.

One way to get more 'message' ie words into the graphic would be to take poetic license and create fewer [taller] stripes, meaning the ratio of lettered stripes to unlettered stripes would be much higher.

Ideally, I would like the image to be less than 18KB. The large one is beautiful, but is 57KB, and folks would have difficulty placing it conveniently on their web pages.

I think we have to design the common icon to fit neatly into bloggers' links columns, so it prob'ly should be in the area of 110 pixels wide.

The last graphic is a combination JPG/TEXT file which of course cuts down on the SIZE of the logo, but makes it more difficult to install (In this case I have used a table with 3 rows - other bloggers would have to do something similar. Not rocket science, but more complex than merely showing a GIF file and telling everyone to download it and display it.

WUDDYA think??
