[Peace-discuss] Adams Billboard *Vote Yes to Impeach* a precise political statement

[Jan & Durl Kruse]

AWARE and Friends:
Below is the message from Adams Outdoor Advertising.  As you can see 
they have a problem with placing one of our Ballot initiatives on a 
Billboard.  Adams response seems to be in the realm of double talk.  A 
copy of the actual design will be brought to the AWARE meeting this 
Sunday May 28 so folks might see it first hand.  ( graphics to large to 
post)  The design Adams "feels comfortable with" is a ballot with only 
one item for voters to approve:
[ X ]  Bring the Troops Home NOW!
If you are interested you might be thinking about how we proceed since 
the GM feels that this being a public service message and Adams being 
"simply the advertising provider" Adams wouldn't feel comfortable 
making such a precise political statement such as: ( [X] Impeach 
Bush/Cheney).
I guess I wonder about this since AWARE and other Peace groups are 
paying for the BillBoard after-all.
Bring ideas and suggestions for what we do next!

Below is the message from Zack the graphic design person from Adams.
Here's the two billboard layouts that we talked about.  The first one 
is similar to the previous layout that we did, with the changes we 
talked about on Monday.  The second board is the voter's ballot idea 
that you wanted to go with for Oct. - Nov.  We put together that layout 
just as you wanted with the exception of the 'impeach Bush & Cheney' 
line.  After talking with our GM we feel that with this being a public 
service message we wouldn't feel comfortable making such a precise 
political statement, since we are simply the advertising provider.  If 
you have any questions, please contact Rick Mills, our General Manager.
Thanks, and let us know what you think.
