Please Help Me With My Ad!

[qwlauren35]

I apologize for cross-posting. This group seems to take activism more seriously, but the other forum has greater participation...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have local classified ads and I can put in an ad for Kerry for $4 a week or $16 for 8 weeks... That buys me TEN words. Then each word is another 30 cents.

My first thought was WAAAAAAY too long:

VOTE KERRY/EDWARDS in 2004: protect jobs, healthcare & social security; renew global respect. Call Dem HQ @xxx-xxxx to volunteer.

I'm probably willing to go up to 15-20 words if it's truly powerful.

Please post suggestions.

Thanks!
