 :tiphat: Hat tip to Dalebert for the inspiration.

An idea for the frontside art for a leaflet. The reverse could have text to explain current evils the US gov does with people's tax money and challenge people to take some kind of action.

Just a draft, but a concept. Constructive input requested.

Looks cool. Hopefully you can print it on that awesome glossy cardboard stuff that clubs advertise on as they get more attention (costs more though I think).

We should think about some cool distribution ideas!

Perfect target market for this message: antiwar protests

Thanks for the positive feedback.  :)

What should the reverse say Denis?

Aww hell you should know there's no sense in asking me what should be on any flyer, I'll always answer the same thing:

An idea may or may not resonate with a particular individual.
But getting them hooked on FTL brings them all the way down the rabbit hole, and maybe lands them in the Free State :)

I like it.
A suggestion would be to make a grayscale friendly version for crappy printers.

URL's... ok that is good, but I'll have alot more space to fill.  ;D

I was thinking maybe, if targeted to the peace activists it would of course include some statistics from our military adventures.

But, I think I'd like to see it steer them away from the typical lefty rhetoric and associated "solutions".

Anyone that can point me to a good source and even better fancies themselves a wordsmith want to help out? I like to make it look purdy... could use help crafting the message.

Good idea...  :)

Got any anti-war/anti-torture ideas. Input from a veteran could be helpful.

I keeping think in terms of pro-american... protect our legacy from the fascists/socialists flavor.

I don't really have anything that could go on a flyer.
Perhaps something about how the majority of soldiers join the Army because they are in debt or want college money. They would definitely rather be home than fucking off in the desert for no good reason waiting to die.

I got nothing. I'm not a writer.

Not exactly right, but these lyrics came to mind.

War Pigs
Black Sabbath

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of deaths construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!

Sometimes just an URL with nothing else but a lot of whitespace can be VERY effective at actually getting people to actually go to their browser and type it in, just to see what the fuck it's all about :)

Especially since the flip side is to thought-provoking, and really strike a chord
