Full page advertising in NYT - DU media taskforce searched!

[myschkin]

From another thread:

myschkin:

"What about placards, advertising in newspapers (see "Firefox") a.s.l.? But you need money for this...

What about an advertising in a mainstream newspaper (full of neutral infos and email-address, website a.s.l.) - sponsored by the grassroots movement?"

Laura PackYourBags:

"Yes, one of those full page ads. What about all the movie stars - Babs, Rob Reiner, the Boss, etc. They put their hearts and money into this. Wonder how we could contact them?"

momzno1:

"we banded together to raise 150,000 for the recount in 4 days!!

we could raise enough money to do something big like a full page advertisement in a major paper. Or we could do this in all our local papers... "

Laura PackYourBags:

"If we can get a consortium of big money demos/celebs to buy full page ads in all the major newspapers....It would be a start - they can pay for a slick ad agency. But it can't have their names on it - some other group, carefully picked, would have to be the front. Something like "Fair Election" something..."

"Suggest you contact MoveOn and The Alliance for Democracy... .....and see if they will fund raise for full page ads in the NYTimes, LATimes, WaPo, ???

....and see if MoveOn would sponsor an digital media contest for a 30 sec ads -- perhaps the theme could be "Did Bush Know?" or "14 Trillion to 1: I don't think so!" or "Prove My Vote Counts" or "Cyber's fine but I prefer my democracy on paper!"......

Peace."
