DID YOU NOTICE THAT ALL OF THE VOTING ADS DID NOT HAVE MCCAIN OR OBAMA ON THEM?

Now it’s your turn to try it. You are going to create

a slogan and some artwork (i.e., you’re going to create an advertisement) to get people out to vote on November 4th. Your ad must be free of

images and words of Obama, Biden, McCain, and Palin!
